[SOLVED] Installing WonderCMS with Ubuntu, CloudPanel and Nginx

[Matt5]

I'm new to WonderCMS, Ubuntu, CloudPanel and Nginx. I had just installed Ubuntu and CloudPanel on my VPS. Then I installed WonderCMS, but it didn't work. Here's how I fixed the problems:

1. .user.ini had the wrong path to source files.

2. .htaccess didn't work because I am using Nginx.

Go to the manage sites section for your website on CloudPanel. Check out Vhost. I made the following changes to the last server section in Vhost:

#try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
index index.php index.html;

#########################################################
# Disable directory listing
autoindex off;

# Disable server signature
server_tokens off;

# Rewrite rules
location / {
# Check if the file or directory does not exist
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?page=$uri&$args;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1 last;
}

# Block access to certain files
if ($request_uri ~* "^/database\.js$") {
return 403;
}
if ($request_uri ~* "^/cache\.json$") {
return 403;
}
}
#########################################################

Basically, I got Grok AI to translate .htaccess into language that Nginx could understand. Then I just needed to figure out where to put it.

Everything seems to be working now.

Looks like the Nginx configuration part was covered on the page below. It never came up in my Google searches.
