403 Forbidden on nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu) - Laravel
you need to have a rule for php files (in the default file)
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on (...)
#
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# With php5-cgi alone:
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
You need to specify an absolute path for your root
directive. Nginx uses the directory set at compile time using the --prefix switch. By default this is /usr/local/nginx
.
What this means is that your root, which is currently set to root home/laravel-app/
causes nginx to look for files at /usr/local/nginx/home/laravel-app/
which presumably isn't where your files are.
If you set your root
directive to an absolute path such as /var/www/laravel-app/public/
nginx will find the files.
Similarly you'll note that I added /public/
to the path above. This is because Laravel stores it's index.php
file there. If you were to just point at /laravel-app/
there's no index file and it'd give you a 403.
