Multiple Projects under single Domain Nginx

Question

I have two projects with the different path locations that need to be configured under a single domain with separate upstream PHP 7.1 and HHVM. I am trying to achieve the goal with nginx alias directive, but it renders 403 Forbidden on my specified location. The default root provided inside the server just works fine.

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name site.local;
    root /srv/project1;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    #This renders a 403 forbidden
    location ~ /catalog/category/view/id {
        alias /srv/project2/public;
        index index.laravel.php;
        if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^ index.laravel.php last; }
        location ~ \.laravel\.php$ {
            if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
            fastcgi_index index.laravel.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$request_filename;

        }
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_pass hhvm-upstream;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

HHVM Upstream When I try site.local the hhvm upstream just works fine and the page is successfully rendered.

PHP Upstream When I try http://site.local/catalog/category/view/id/11 I get a 403 forbidden error and I see this in nginx error log

> site_openresty | 2018/05/21 11:34:43 [error] 6#6: *1 directory index
> of "/srv/project2/public" is forbidden, client: 172.19.0.1, server:
> site.local, request: "GET /catalog/category/view/id/11/??? HTTP/1.1",
> host: "site.local"

I have been trying this for 3 days now and tried different solutions provided on Stackoverflow, github and serverfault but none seems to be fixing my problem.

The possible reason for this error to occur is that the file index.laravel.php does not exist in the directory /srv/project2/public.

Second thing to double-check is ownership and permission of /srv/project2/public and its contents.

Make sure that the owner of this directory and the files in it is the user running nginx ( perhaps www-data or nginx ). Directory mode should be 755 and file mode be 644.

EDIT:

I missed the line fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$request_filename; at the location matched by /catalog/category/view/id

You should replace $request_filename by $fastcgi_script_name so you will end up with fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

Inside the location, you can use echo $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; and echo $document_root$request_filename;to see the difference between the two.

Do not forget to reload the service ;)

I am using docker for windows which sets permission to 777 for everything mounted inside it, I don't think permission is a problem here. And yes of course the index.laravel.php exists. – Aftab Naveed May 21 '18 at 14:56
@Aftab Did you try to access http://site.local/catalog/category/view/id ? Does it give the same result ? – Craft May 21 '18 at 17:34
Yes it doesn't make any difference. – Aftab Naveed May 21 '18 at 23:46
