I am looking for an NGINX rule for my website. If the user lands on my website with a URL having index.php at the end I want to redirect them to a /404 URL with a 404 status code.

for eg
http://example.com/index.php => http://example.com/404
http://example.com/abcd/index.php => http://example.com/404
http://example.com/abcd/dcba/index.php => http://example.com/404

so far I have this but this doesn't work.

location ~ index\.php$ {
        return 404 https://$host/404;
    }

Welcome to ServerFault. Regex locations are proceed in order they appeared in the config, do you have any other regex location blocks before this one? – Ivan Shatsky Jun 22 '20 at 16:03
no, I don't at the moment. – Aj Maurya Jun 22 '20 at 18:41
And what you are getting now with this config? – Ivan Shatsky Jun 22 '20 at 18:57
so when i visit a page with index.php in it it fails to load anything "This site can’t be reached" with failed status – Aj Maurya Jun 22 '20 at 20:41
Try: `return 404; error_page 404 /404;` – Richard Smith Jun 23 '20 at 08:31
@RichardSmith your solution kind of worked for me thanks. – Aj Maurya Jun 24 '20 at 15:19
