To deploy Librarian within Nginx, you'll need to also install PHP-FPM on the server (MySQL not needed!). Check out this LEMP tutorial for details on how to get these installed - you can skip the MySQL step(s).
This is an example of functional Nginx configuration to host a Librarian website with PHP-FPM (PHP 7.4):
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain_name www.domain_name;
root /var/www/librarian-website;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
error_page 404 /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
deny all;
}
}
