I am trying to serve a PHP script that handles some RESTful URIs and to know which format end user needs data, I handled that as the extension in the URI, eg.:
example.com/foo/bar.json?q=x&a=y --> data in ajax format example.org/foo/bar.xml?q=x&a=y --> data in xml format I use Apache httpd + modphp in my development machine and it works just fine, but the stage server uses CentOS + Nginx + PHP. There, the nginx intercepts and tries handling an static json file and returns 404.
How can I prevent Nginx from handling certain file types (eg. json, xml) and let PHP handle those?
My Nginx config:
server { # listen [::]:443 ssl http2 accept_filter=dataready; # for FreeBSD # listen 443 ssl http2 accept_filter=dataready; # for FreeBSD # listen [::]:443 ssl http2 deferred; # for Linux # listen 443 ssl http2 deferred; # for Linux listen [::]:443 ssl http2; listen 443 ssl http2; # The host name to respond to server_name example.com; include h5bp/directive-only/ssl.conf; include ssl/conf/example.com; # Path for static files root /var/www/example.com/app/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; #Specify a charset charset utf-8; # Custom 404 page error_page 404 /404.html; # Include the basic h5bp config set include h5bp/basic.conf; # log settings access_log off; error_log /var/log/www/example.com/nginx/error/error.log error; # turn off access logs and prevents logging # an error if robots.txt and favicon.ico are not found location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; } # check if a file or directory index file exists, # else pass the request to the index.php as a query parameter. location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } # handle execution of PHP files # set php5-fpm socket # tell NGINX to proxy requests to PHP FPM via the FCGI protocol location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass localhost:9003; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_intercept_errors off; fastcgi_buffer_size 16k; fastcgi_buffers 4 16k; fastcgi_connect_timeout 300; fastcgi_send_timeout 300; fastcgi_read_timeout 300; } # block access to .htaccess files location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } } Update: It did work finally, I put the json-related location inside the main / location and changed the $script_file_name for the json-related location to a static script name. Thanks to Tim.
