1.7 Does PrestaShop 1.7 work with Nginx?

[editview]

Are there currently any working instructions for using PrestaShop 1.7 with Nginx?  I've seen several Nginx config files from people who have tried it, but none seem to work (either 404 or 500 errors).  It seems like most people end up giving up and using Apache?

Look at these examples:

I tried a few of those but still ended up with various errors.  Even if it did work, it all seems too fragile and basically just a hack since those configuration files set up special redirects for half a dozen of the Prestashop URLs, and if any of those Prestashop URLs change in future versions, or if new ones are added, the configuration file redirect hacks would have to be updated also.

I ended up switching to Apache.  I generally prefer Nginx, but I think Prestashop 1.7 just isn't set up to work well with it because Prestashop is doing something unusual with the way it handles URLs that causes issues with Nginx.

There is default config file in the Prestashop git repo, here :

setting up a multistore with Nginx is challenging

[editview]

I eventually gave up and had to switch the server to Apache.  

I'm not sure what PrestaShop is doing that is causing these issues but hopefully they'll fix it eventually so these special work arounds for Nginx are just no longer needed.

Thanks for the response. 

I did not give up yet. I am almost there. I have a problem with the image appearance with friendly URL. Once this is solve I will be ready to post a detailed solution.

Ok. Now it works perfectly and it's super fast since I also installed php-fmp w/ Nginx.

My issue was that I was including other config files without realizing it. Since I use easyengine that was done automatically but you need to remove all the includes.

Here is my config file:

server {

    server_name xxx.com   www.xxx.com;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/xxx.com.access.log rt_cache;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/xxx.com.error.log;

    root /var/www/xxx.com/htdocs;
    
    

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

Config from Henrik41 works fine.

But not working link type https://MYSITE/MULISHOP/LANG/index.php?controller=order-detail&id_order=270627

Redirect to 404 page.

Who Has ever encountered this behavior Prestashop?

[dandumit]

indeed it's working but I get the error :

 

Warning: require_once(/home/nginx/domains/asd/public/var/cache/dev/appParameters.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/nginx/domains/asd/public/config/bootstrap.php on line 87

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/nginx/domains/asd/public/var/cache/dev/appParameters.php'

 

file appParameters.php it's there but has no permission. I don't know how to investigate this ...

 

I have tried 

chown nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/yourdomain.com/public/wp chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/yourdomain.com/public/wp

 

but after some time happened again. I guess that it's being rewritten that file

I use nginx_apache reverse proxy and it works great.

@arafatx - what control panel do you use ?  could you please share nginx configuration  ? on mine does not work with media servers. there is still to be added for CSS files.

Sorry for late reply. It's been few months. I actually use Directadmin control panel. When you use nginx_apache, the prestashop site run on nginx and you can use apache config. So it works out of box.

we put all clients on ngnix so we can take advantage of php fpm...zoom zoom

[dandumit]

@El Patron could you share your configuration  ? When I am using ngnix reverese are disabled compression and also I think that should be added rules for serving images

Hi, we have linux black belt on our team who handles all our client hosting configurations.  also we use PLESK!  use PLESK people...much much much better than cpanel...

[dandumit]

@El Patron give 1-2 examples of sites that you consider that run fast with nginx
