I developed an app in Laravel that uses Google authentication, it works perfectly on my localhost. When I deployed it in my nginx server (ubuntu 24.04) I get the Google login correctly and it proceeds to my main page as expected. But after that, no route is accessible. All of them throw me a 404. I’ve been googling it for ages but I can’t for the life of me find the solution for this.
EDIT: The 404 comes from Laravel, not nginx. The weird part is if I try php artisan route:list on the ser the routes are indeed missing but on the localhost they all show. The code is pretty much the same.
Here’s is my app conf file:
server {
    server_name partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org;
    root /var/www/html/partviewer/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
    error_log /var/log/nginx/partviewer-error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/partviewer-access.log;
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
    if ($host = partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
    listen 80;
    server_name partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
- You’re probably going to need logs to rule out any permissions errors or the like. 
- Check out this page. https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/deployment - You have to redirect all requests to index.php in the public folder. There is a sample Nginx configuration file on this page. 
- Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below? - Yeah, sounds like a permissions error. 
 
- Could it be a route cache thing? may be worth trying - artisan route:clearfollowed by- artisan route:cache- It’s been four months but I wanted to say here you were the only one close to the solution. 
 
- could you replace - try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;with- try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$is_args$args- That might work - It was the first “solution” on google. Didn’t work. - Oh, does the route hit your location? What’s in the logs? - The correct URL appears in the browser but the page shows a 404. According to the logs they don’t exist…but they’re there… 
 
 
 
- I’m not sure, but looks like you’re denying all .htaccess files. Laravel depends on .htaccess to make things work properly - Take a look on Laravel docs - Deployment to make sure your configs are right - As far as I know only Apache uses .htaccess files, Nginx works a different way - deleted by creator - I was the same until like two months ago when I had to learn Nginx! 
 
 
- I already went through that. I wouldn’t post here without starting with the official documentation. - Why are you using that? - location ~ /\.ht { deny all; }- You’re denying the access to your root, which is the - public/folder and has the file- .htaccessthat has- <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <IfModule mod_negotiation.c> Options -MultiViews -Indexes </IfModule> RewriteEngine On # Handle Authorization Header RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} . RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$ RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301] # Send Requests To Front Controller... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] </IfModule>- This file handles the income requests and send to the front controller. - The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.
