 Hi,

I am trying the NginX Configuration Maker but when I restart the nginx service I always get a Fail. In the error log I get this error: [emer] fastcgi_pass is not allowed here in *path to nginx.conf* :182

Line 182 indeed use fastcgi. It's the Advanced server Protection rules section.

Anything I should enable to allow this?

Thanks

Found the error.

In the .conf file admin tools create, Here is the line it creates

######################################################################
## Advanced server protection rules exceptions
######################################################################location = /administrator\/components\/com_akeeba\/restore\.php {

Notice that "location=" is on the commented line.

After I fixed this, I got another critical error preventing the service from starting. The log says location = / is duplicated.

The following lines were the problem

location = / {
	rewrite ^ /index.php last;
}

Those lines are even written twice in the .conf file. I had to comment both block out.

Then I got another error saying
location = /index.php was duplicated.
So, in the end, I had to comment all those lines out

# Allow access to the front-end index.php file
#location = / {
#	rewrite ^ /index.php last;
#}
#location = / {
#	rewrite ^ /index.php last;
#}
#location = /index.php {
#	fastcgi_pass $fastcgi_pass;
#	break;
#}

I checked my website .conf file and server block and those are not defined, so where could they already be declared?

Ok, I restarted from scratch. With only my .conf it works fine. then I ask admin tools to create a conf file, and I add the reference to admin tools nginx.conf to my .conf file.

Once more I get this problem

######################################################################
## Advanced server protection rules exceptions
######################################################################location = /administrator\/components\/com_akeeba\/restore\.php {

So, there is a small bug in the way it creates that line. I fix it, then again I get errors for duplicates line for

location = /

and

location = /index.php

and the code block

location = / {
	rewrite ^ /index.php last;
}
location = / {
	rewrite ^ /index.php last;
}

is really duplicated in the file admin tools creates.

When I comment all those out, I get another error, but I will open a new ticket for that one.

Thanks

I think I found the duplicate. In admin tools .conf file there are those lines for SEF

## Enable SEF URLs
location = / {
	try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location = /index.php {
	fastcgi_pass $fastcgi_pass;
	break;
}

Hi,

The line specified above are all from admin tools file. I have attached the .conf file that admin tools create(unmodified, so you can see all the errors mentionned above)

I have also included my conf file where the server block is defined so you can see the duplicated lines do not come from there.

Thanks

Sent the wrong(old) files, here are the right ones.

No problem.
