How do I configure Nginx for Laravel/Symfony?

Nginx is a powerful web server that can effectively serve Laravel and Symfony applications. To set up Nginx for these frameworks, you need to configure the server blocks correctly and ensure that the right PHP-FPM settings are in place.

Below is an example of a basic Nginx configuration for a Laravel application. This configuration can be similarly adapted for Symfony.

server { listen 80; server_name yourdomain.com; root /path/to/your/laravel/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; # Adjust version accordingly fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } }
