php-laravelHow do I configure Nginx for Laravel using PHP?

To configure Nginx for Laravel using PHP, follow the steps below:

1. Create a server block in your /etc/nginx/sites-available directory. Below is an example of a server block for a Laravel application:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /var/www/example.com/public;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

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

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

2. Activate the server block by creating a symbolic link from the sites-available directory to the sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

3. Test the Nginx configuration for syntax errors:

sudo nginx -t

4. If the test is successful, restart Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

The above steps should configure Nginx for Laravel using PHP.
