Question

I have both PHP and Rails running on the same server.
I used to have a rewrite rule at nginx.conf

location / {
    index index.php; 
}

and in case of URL like /foo/bar /foo/bar/index.php was served.

But now I have also Rails (Passenger) and with this rule I can’t hit rails.
How do I check if there exist index.php before and hit rails only if it does not.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Should try_files

server {
        try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php @passenger;

        location @passenger {
                passenger_enabled on;
                rails_env development;
        }
}
