how to set up websocket server along with two laravel backend and a spa

Question

i have two laravel backend setup on different routes. and there is a spa on root. now i want to set a websocket server along with it. here is my website.conf

 ############## block-4 : multiple subdirectory testing ############ server { listen 80; # server_name abc.xyz; server_name _; root /var/www/html/abc.xyz; # root /var/www/html; add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"; index index.html index.php; location / { # root /var/www/html/abc.xyz; try_files $uri /index.html ; } charset utf-8; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } # error_page 404 /index.php; ############## block-4 : multiple subdirectory testing ############ server { listen 80; # server_name abc.xyz; server_name _; root /var/www/html/abc.xyz; # root /var/www/html; add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"; index index.html index.php; location / { # root /var/www/html/abc.xyz; try_files $uri /index.html ; } charset utf-8; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } # error_page 404 /index.php; # BACKEND location rewrite instructions location /backend { alias /var/www/html/abc.xyz/backend; try_files $uri $uri/ @backend; location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock; } } location @backend { # rewrite /backend/(.*)$ /backend/index.php?/$1 last; rewrite ^/backend/(.*)$ /backend/index.php last; } # end of the BACKEND location # BACKEND location rewrite instructions location /api { alias /var/www/html/abc.xyz/api; try_files $uri $uri/ @api; location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock; } } location @api { rewrite /api/(.*)$ /api/index.php?/$1 last; } # end of the BACKEND location # phpmyadmin rewrite rules. location /phpmyadmin { root /usr/share/; index index.php index.html index.htm; location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ { try_files $uri =404; root /usr/share/; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; } location ~* ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ { root /usr/share/; } } # end of phpmyadmin block here. # web socket configuration here location /ws* { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6001; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_read_timeout 60; proxy_connect_timeout 60; proxy_redirect off; # Allow the use of websockets proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; } # end of websocket configuration location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* { deny all; } } ############# end block-4 ###################### 

the location /ws block is taken from laravel websockets documentation. but this location block is giving 404 not found error. but this nginx configuration doesn't work. My laravel website project works fine on localhost.

edit

this is the output of lsof -i :80,443,6001
