Nginx - Some resources not found, when they were previously being loaded

Question

I have just encountered a very weird issue. Some of the fonts that I have used in my website and an svg are not loading, while yesterday everything was working fine. The only changes that I've recently made, are some rewrites to remove the extension.

Every path is correct, and the main nginx.conf file contains include /etc/nginx/mime.types; Again, everything was working fine yesterday.

This is my configuration file, which is the only thing that I changed.


server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    
    server_name mysite.app;
    
    rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;
    rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;

    root /var/www/html/;
  
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
       
    location / {
        #try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
        try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
    }

    location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
                expires 365d;
        }

    location ~*  \.(pdf)$ {
                expires 30d;
        }
    
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    
        if ($request_uri ~ ^/([^?]*)\.php$) { 
             return 307 /$1; 
        }
        
        if ($request_uri ~ ^/([^?]*)\.php(\?+)) { 
             return 302 /$1?$args; 
         }
    }

    location @extensionless-php {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
    }   

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

    listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.app/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.app/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

}
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2; # managed by Certbot
    server_name www.mysite.app;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.app/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.app/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

    return 301 https://mysite.app$request_uri;
}

server {
    if ($host = www.mysite.app) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


    listen 80 ;
    listen [::]:80 ;
    server_name www.mysite.app;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

Running curl -IL <resource_location> I am getting a HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found error.

Looking at the commented line here:

location / {
    #try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
    try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
}

You have also deleted the $uri term from the try_files statement. That term is responsible for serving any URI that directly matches a filename.

You should reinstate it, for example:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
}

See this document for details.
