Hi, i just installed a test site to experience and learn about nginx. i have always been an apache person.

I got all the rules right, the website is working fine except for 1 issue.

Any image uploads, the URL i get is in the form of: http://www.website.com/abc/image.jpg and i get 404 when i open this URL.

If i open up http://www.website.com/abc/, the image opens up fine, the filename at the end of URL seems to be the problem .....

All other files are working fine, i get the download page, etc. just the images are giving issue. I dont run the imageviewer plugin on this site either. Not sure what i got wrong?

Any ideas anyone ?

I have these sections already along with all the rest (as per installation instruction that comes with the script).. Not sure what else i should add to pass the images to PHP.

Code:
location ~ \.php$ {
        	if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php?_page_url=$1 last; }
        	fastcgi_pass   localhost:8002;
        	fastcgi_index  index.php;
        	fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        	include        fastcgi_params;
		}
        location / {
        	if (!-e $request_filename) {
                rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php?_page_url=$1 last;
        	}
        	if ($host !~* ^(www)) {
          		rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://www.website.com/$1 permanent;
        	}        
	    }
Thanks again.

Hi,

Are you running pure Nginx or Nginx/Apache proxy mode?

The rules you have above include this which isn't part of our standard set:

if ($host !~* ^(www)) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://www.filecad.com/$1 permanent;
}

Have you tried removing it, restarting nginx and trying again?

Thanks,
Adam.

Thanks Adam but it didnt help. i removed this line and am still getting a 404
i am running only Nginx with PHP-FPM (no apache or proxy mode)

The error log shows a static image files not being found on the server eg: 404 not found /home/website/public_html/9Gt/image.png not found.

Thanks

Can you post the full nginx config file? I noticed you're using ssl, did you add the rules to the nginx ssl config?

Maybe test the download url on non ssl?

Thanks Adam!!
