Great looking and educational framework but I'm really struggling here and would appreciate any passing nginxexpers having a look.

I've played with some other basic MVC frameworks and never had the problem where a normal nginx try_file wouldn't work.

So, for example:

location /manage/login {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php;
}

But, of course, I can see from the .htaccess and application.php that this uses ?url= GET arguments.

So, 5 hours of reading http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#.24arg_PARAMETER and http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#.24args and http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html I've tried various of the following.... (the install folder is in manage/login

location /manage/login {
try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php?url=$uri;
}

also

try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php?url=$uri;
try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php?url=$args;
try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php?url=$uri$args;
try_files $uri $uri/ /manage/login/index.php?$args;

and other combinations of the above. No matter what I put, it always says:

You are in the controller home, using the method index()
You are in the View: application/views/home/index.php

I found another lost soul at http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,247614,247647#msg-247647 but again, he wasn't having much luck.

    Hey, just for your info: This script uses the most used htaccess in the world, the typical "beautiful URLs" rewrite rules. No weird stuff, no stunts. I even think Wordpress etc. use exactly the same.

    Btw maybe Nginx is not what you should use if this brings you in trouble.

    He again,

    can you post more info / error logs ? Btw I noticed that you are using a custom folder structure. The php-mvc is build for usage in webroot or in a simple subfolder, so your use case might be special. The php-mvc is btw made for beginners, I think you're quite professional, maybe you don't need he php-mvc. :)

    I think this ticket is overcomplicating things. The php-mvc is very basic and uses the most standard rewrite rules, and there's no need to install this in nginx in a multi-folder deep nesting structure usually. Running this from two-levels deep subfolders if definitly totally out of the scope of this script, so let's close the ticket.

    Okay this is a often requested feature, let's create a guideline / native integration for this project! Thanks for the comments so far, good stuff in here!

    Hello. I am also having a problem getting this to work on nginx (and switching to Apache is not a realistic option.) I have cloned the repository to /var/www/php-mvc/
    I have made the following changes. 1)modified this line of config.php:
    define('URL', 'http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/php-mvc/');
    where the URL is the ip address of my test DO server.
    2) made the change digitaltoast recommended to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    3) made change digitaltoast recommended to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
    4) restarted the server

    when I go to http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/php-mvc/ the homepage shows up perfectly. But, when I click on the links I get a message saying "file not found."

    I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.

    I changed application.php line 74 to trim, I changed my nginx.conf back to the original. I have this in my /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file:
    location / {
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$uri;
    }
    I believe I'm modifying the correct file (/etc/nginx/sites-available/default). If not let me know.
    If it's no trouble, I wouldn't mind looking at your nginx.config file. Thanks!

    Thanks, I got it working!
    I changed root /var/www; to:
    root /var/www/php-mvc;
    and in config.php changed:
    define('URL', 'http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/php-mvc/');
    to:
    define('URL', 'http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/');

    I'm not sure if there is a way to get it working my original way, as I have other projects in /var/www/ that I'd want to work on simultaneously. Perhaps this is bad practice, though?

    Thanks again @digitaltoast

    Awesome stuff!

    I just made php-mvc work on Mac OS X 10.10 Beta 4 with NGINX 1.6.0, PHP 5.5.14, PEAR 1.9.5 and MySQL 5.6.16.

    I followed @digitaltoast instructions. Only difference is that I have my sites separated from the main nginx.conf file inside the sites-available folder.

    Here is my /sites-available/phpmvc.com configuration file:

    root       /var/www/phpmvc; 
server_name  phpmvc.com;
index   index.html index.htm index.php;
rewrite_log on;
error_log    /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/phpmvc.error.log;
access_log  /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/phpmvc.access.log;

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$uri;
}

location ~ \.(php)$ {
    try_files      $uri = 404;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

    Added "127.0.0.1 phpmvc.com" to my /etc/hosts file.

    Cool stuff guys! I'll implement this right into the project in September or October (when there's time!). Good to see that the project is useful for you all :)

    Heyyyy people,

    I've just released MINI (=php-mvc) in a new version with a different structure (index.php is now in /public, plus diffrenent .htaccess). Would be nice if you could test this and post a working nginx config for this.

    Big thanks!
