Nginx configuration file

[jessicana]

I am using the Nginx configuration file as listed on nginx.com: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/oscommerce/

When I use:

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

I get a bad gateway page 502 error, therefore I changed it to:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;

The site loads the home page but when I click on the links on the home page, I get 404 Not Found. For example, when I click: https://mydomai.com/catalog/sales , I get 404 not found page. 

Why is that?

There should be documentation on this from OsCommerce. I searched the forum before I post here. Usually, the nginx configuration file is part of the nginx examples/recipes.

Thank you for your help. I would not have seen this working without your help. Your configuration partially works and the following block has to be changed:

from: 

location / { 
index $yii_bootstrap; 
}

to:

location / {
index $yii_bootstrap;
try_files $uri $uri/ /$yii_bootstrap?$args;
}

I simply added the below line. Otherwise, I got 404 on certain pages:

try_files $uri $uri/ /$yii_bootstrap?$args;

I am testing my configuration and I will post a complete configuration file later this week on this page to help everyone. The fastcgi_pass on Ubuntu configuration is usually:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.x-fpm.sock;

where 8.x is the php version.

Below is a complete Nginx configuration file that should work for you with OsCommerce x4:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    set $yii_bootstrap "index.php";

    root /var/www/example.com/html/;

    access_log /var/www/example.com/logs/access.log;
    error_log /var/www/example.com/logs/error.log;

    # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
    
    index       $yii_bootstrap;
    server_name example.com www.example.com;


    client_max_body_size 50m;
        charset utf-8;


        location /furniture {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /furniture/$yii_bootstrap?$args;
        }

    location /printshop {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /printshop/$yii_bootstrap?$args;
    }

    location /admin {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /admin/$yii_bootstrap?$args;
    }

    location /b2b-supermarket {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /b2b-supermarket/$yii_bootstrap?$args;
    }

    location /watch {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /watch/$yii_bootstrap?$args;
    }

    location / {
        index $yii_bootstrap;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /$yii_bootstrap?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {

        if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }
        include fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index $yii_bootstrap;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;

    }


    #location / {
        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
    #    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    #}

    # pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    #
    #    # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
    #    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    #    # With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
    #    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    #}


    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

}

Please change:

1. example to your domain name.

2. php8.0-fpm.sock to your PHP version. For example, if you use 8.2, change this to become:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
