Using different subdirectory about simplephprouter

[steampixel]

For Apache your example works fine for me. Here is a tree of all included files. In my webroot I have created a "test" folder. Inside this I have created a "api" folder. Both folders and also the root folder have a .htaccess file and an index.php file. In this example I use the router three times in different dirs:

27 directories, 60 files

Here are some examples of the different rewrite bases inside the htaccess files:

RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteBase /test/api/

The basepath inside each index.php will change in a similar way:

define('BASEPATH','/');
define('BASEPATH','/test/');
define('BASEPATH','/test/api/');

Everything works as expected in my Apache example. Hops that helps for now.

Perfect! Thank you. I will use this maybe as a basis when creating the nginx docker example.

Hi @matteovisotto,
unfortunately I am not very familiar with Nginx server. So I don't know out of the box what the correct configuration is. Can you please share your configuration?

[matteovisotto]

That's my configuration. At the moment is the default site and the routing system is under test path:

	#server configuration before this part (listen 80 and server name)

	# pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
	#
	location ~ \.php$ {
		include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
	#
	#	# With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
		fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
	#	# With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
	#	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
	}
	
	location /test/ {
  		if (!-e $request_filename){
    		rewrite ^(.*)$ /test/index.php;
 		 }
	}

location /test/api/{
  		if (!-e $request_filename){
    		rewrite ^(.*)$ /test/api/index.php;
 		 }
	}

	
	# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
	# concurs with nginx's one
	#
	location ~ /\.ht {
		deny all;
	}
}

I've noticed that adding location /test/api/ or deleting it the result is the same, a white page (not 404 from the main index) that could be a php script error but the code is the same of the main page (just for a test) and I have changed the include Route class path.

EDIT: no problem if you have a solution for Apache htaccess, I translate it :)

Hi @matteovisotto
I will now create a nginx docker demo. So I can test your case. Unfortunately this could take a few weeks because I have not much time for this. Please be patient.

[matteovisotto]

Thanks. I'll try again, also on Apache. (I can't at the moment but I'll let you know)

[steampixel]

Please share your config, if you're faster than me to get this to work on nginx.

[matteovisotto]

I found the correct Nginx configuration assuming that the index.php file containing the routing instruction is contained in a subfolder called "test" and the "api" folder (with its index.php file) is a subfolder of test. The base location controls all the file in the main directory. It seems to be equals to the previous configuration but I created a new virtual host (maybe an old configuration was the problem)
`
server {

root /var/www/<main folder>;

index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;

server_name <domain name>;
    
    location / {
   #Delete this if the routing index.php is in the main directory 
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

location /test/ {
	if (!-e $request_filename){
		rewrite ^(.*)$ /test/index.php;
	 }
}

   location /test/api/ {
	if (!-e $request_filename){
		rewrite ^(.*)$ /test/api/index.php;
	 }
   }

location ~ \.php$ {
	include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
#
#	# With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
	fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
#	# With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
#	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
	deny all;
}

}
