LinkAce on raspberry & nginx : installation does not launch

[imloic]

Hello Guys!

I already used LinkAce on shared hosting, and all was good.

But today I need some help. I tried to install LinkAce on my Raspberry 4 with Nginx. I can't launch the installation, here is my procedure

1 - InstallNginx
2 - Unzip Linkace zip in /var/www/html/linkace
3 - Install PHP 8.1 with all extensions
4 - Rename .env.example to .env.
5 - Edit sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Configure these lines :
# include snippets/snakeoil.conf; root /var/www/html/linkace;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP index index.html index.htm index.php;

6 - sudo php artisan key:generate ->INFO Application key set successfully.
7 - Give permission sudo chown -R www-data:www-data *
8 - I will install MYSQL later, I try to launch Linkace first

Here are the problems, when I launch my ip: 192.168.1.17 I see the contents of my folder (linkace) but nothing launches.

and when I try to add these lines to the nginx config, the server doesn't start. I don't know where to put this line and if it's imperative.

add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~* \.(?:css|js|map|scss)$ {
  expires 7d;
  access_log off;
  add_header Cache-Control "public";
  try_files $uri @fallback;
}

error_page 404 /index.php;

Please help
Thanks guys

you need to use php-fpm with nginx.

Hi,
I remove PHP and install this :

sudo apt install php8.2-fpm
sudo service nginx restart

Always the same problem I have an Index of / page

[martadinata666]

because the php files not passed to php-fpm, most basic usually something like this.

       # pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
        #
        location ~ \.php$ {
               fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
               include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
               include /etc/nginx/scgi_params;
               include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
               fastcgi_index index.php;
               fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
               fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
               fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }

        location ~ /\.ht {
               deny all;
        }

Now I have a 403 Forbidden. Maybe I made a mistake or something is missing?

403 more likely permission issue, like php-fpm cant correctly read PHP files.

Hi.
Please have a look at the nginx example for Laravel, which is the base for LinkAce: https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/deployment#nginx
Note one important difference besides the PHP config: you must point the root directory to linkace/public, and not to the base directory.

I will have a look at the LinkAce docs, but probably have no time to test a standalone nginx setup in the near time.
