Moving Zend Framework 2 from apache to nginx

Question

I would like to move site that uses Zend Framework 2 from Apache to Nginx. The problem is that site have 6 modules, and apache handles it by aliases defined in httpd-vhosts.conf,

#httpd-vhosts.conf <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerName localhost:443 Alias /develop/cpanel "C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_cp/public" Alias /develop/docs/tech "C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_tech_docs/public" Alias /develop/docs "C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_docs/public" Alias /develop/auth "C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public" Alias /develop "C:/webapps/develop/mil_web_dicom_viewer/public" DocumentRoot "C:/webapps/mil_catele_homepage" </VirtualHost> 

in httpd.conf DocumentRoot is set to C:/webapps. Sites are avialeble at for example localhost/develop/cpanel. Framework handles further routing.

In Nginx I was able to make only one site available by specifing root C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_tech_docs/public; in server block. It works only because docs module don't depend on auth like others, and site was at localhost/.

In next attempt:

root C:/webapps; location /develop/auth { root C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public; try_files $uri $uri/ /develop/mil_catele_auth/public/index.php$is_args$args; } 

Now as I enter localhost/develop/cpanel it gets to correct index.php but can't find any resources (css,js files). I have no Idea why reference paths in browswer's GET requsts changed to https://localhost/css/bootstrap.css form https://localhost/develop/auth/css/bootstrap.css as it was on apache. This root directive seems not working.

Nginx handles php by using fastCGI

location ~ \.(php|phtml)?$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV production; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } 

I googled whole day, and found nothing usefull. Can someone help me make this configuration work like on Apache?

You shouldn't use root directive inside location blocks.

Try this:

location /develop/auth { alias C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args; } 

With this configuration, URLs work like this:

http://example.com/develop/auth/image.png -> C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public/image.png

If you use root instead of alias, you would get:

C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public/develop/auth/image.png instead.

And then, for some non-existing file / directory:

http://example.com/develop/auth/not-existing -> C:/webapps/develop/mil_catele_auth/public/index.php would be run.

Hope this works the way you want it to work.
