Configuration steps​

  • Unzip nginx file
  • Edit conf file
  • Launch the command from a command window inside PHP folder: php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:9000
  • Double click on nginx.exe
conf\nginx.conf
server {
    listen       8000;
    server_name  localhost;
    root D:/my/path/public;

    location / {
      # try to serve file directly, fallback to index.php
      try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
      include fastcgi_params;

      # optionally set the value of the environment variables used in the application
      # fastcgi_param APP_ENV prod;
      # fastcgi_param APP_SECRET <app-secret-id>;
      # fastcgi_param DATABASE_URL "mysql://db_user:db_pass@host:3306/db_name";

      # When you are using symlinks to link the document root to the
      # current version of your application, you should pass the real
      # application path instead of the path to the symlink to PHP
      # FPM.
      # Otherwise, PHP's OPcache may not properly detect changes to
      # your PHP files (see https://github.com/zendtech/ZendOptimizerPlus/issues/126
      # for more information).
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
      # Prevents URIs that include the front controller. This will 404:
      # http://domain.tld/index.php/some-path
      # Remove the internal directive to allow URIs like this

    }

    # return 404 for all other php files not matching the front controller
    # this prevents access to other php files you don't want to be accessible.
