Hello,

Searching for "405 Not Allowed" in titles returned no hit.

This is my first attempt at installing WonderCMS on a Debian host running Nginx and PHP-FPM.

After entering the password and clicking on "Login", I get a "405 Not Allowed" message. There's nothing in /var/log/nginx/error.log.

FWIW, the doc says I should have a "mod_rewrite module enabled", but I don't know if it's Apache-specific or I also need to perform a step in Nginx/PHP-FPM.

Any idea what it could be?

Thank you.

Edit: There was some wrong left-over from a previous test. Using the following, I'm now stuck at the login page when aiming at 192.168.0.17 (ie. using the default service):

Code: Select all

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name _;
        #root /usr/share/nginx/www;
        root /var/www/wondercms;

        index index.html index.htm index.php;
        autoindex off;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        #BAD!!!
        #add_header Allow "GET, HEAD" always;
        #if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$ )
        #{
        #        return 405;
        #}
        #BAD

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

        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
        }
}

~# ll /run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock
srw-rw---- 1 www-data www-data 0 Dec  4 16:08 /run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock=

No error in /var/log/nginx/error.log

~# systemctl restart nginx
~# systemctl restart php8.2-fpm


--
Edit: FWIW, running an info.php works, so it looks like Nginx and PHP-FPM work in the absolute:


--
Edit: Doesn't solve it

Code: Select all

systemctl stop php8.2-fpm.service
systemctl stop nginx
systemctl start php8.2-fpm.service
systemctl start nginx

No errors in /var/log/php8.2-fpm.log and /var/log/nginx/error.log, and here's access.log:

Code: Select all

~# tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log
...

Hi Winfried, can you try with the following setup below (edit the domain and root path), it should handle "clean URLs".

I believe your current website login would work if you tried example.com/?page=loginURL. With the below config, the ?page should be handled automatically.

Code: Select all

server {
        listen 80;
        # adapt to your server name
        server_name www.wonder-example.com;
        # adapt the path
        root /var/www/wondercms;
        index index.php;
        # prevent directory listing
        autoindex off;

        # rewrite url to make it pretty
        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
        }
            location @rewrite {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1 last;
        }

        # prevent access to database.js
        location ~ database.js {
            return 403;
        }

        location ~ cache.json {
            return 403;
        }

        # use php-fpm for dealing with php files
        location ~ \.php(/|$) {
            # this could also be called fastcgi_params depending on your distribution
            include fastcgi.conf;
            # using unix socket
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
            # uncomment (and comment the one above) if you are using the TCP port 9000 for php-fpm
            # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        }
    }
