Nginx: expires header becomes 404

  • 772

I'm having problems with the expires header. When I set the expires and access the file through the browser it becomes Not Found 404.

Here is my virtual server setup on nginx.conf

server {
listen 80;
server_name blgourl.com www.blogourl.com

  location / {
      root    /data/file/static/blogourl;
      index   index.html index.htm index.php;
  }

  location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
      expires 30d;
      add_header Pragma public;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
  }


  location ~* \.php$ {
  ssi on;
  root /data/file/static;
  fastcgi_param HTTP_USER_AGENT  $http_user_agent;
  fastcgi_index   index.php;
  #fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
  #fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
  fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
  include         fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    /data/file/static/blogourl$fastcgi_script_name;
  fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;

  }

}

    As Alexey Ten said, root inside location is bad because you must define root parameter inside every location directive. And if forget to add the root in one of your location, nginx will set root to default /etc/nginx/html

    Instead you must define root outside your location, e.g. in server directive. You can always add root in your location whenever your root directory changed. For example in your config, you can override root parameter inside location ~* \.php$

    See also this discussion regarding root inside location issue.

    Your config should be

      root    /data/file/static/blogourl;
  location / {
      index   index.html index.htm index.php;
  }

  location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
      expires 30d;
      add_header Pragma public;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
  }


  location ~* \.php$ {
      ssi on;
      root /data/file/static;
      fastcgi_param HTTP_USER_AGENT  $http_user_agent;
      fastcgi_index   index.php;
      #fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
      #fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
      fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
      include         fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    /data/file/static/blogourl$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;

  }
