Any AWS EB Laravel route getting 404 Not Found nginx/1.16.1

Question

I\'ve just deploy a new laravel 7 application on AWS Elastic beanstalk. I\'ve noticed they changed the Apache server to Nginx server.

I encountered the same issue, since April 30th 2020 EB is auto configured to nginx instead of apache so the htaccess file no longer works. So when I uploaded my code the front page (index.php) was working but not the api. This is what I did to solve the issue - taken from the AWS developer group: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=942914󦍂

1. SSH into the elastic beanstalk environment (you can generate a keypair in the EC2 instance, this will download a pem (private key file) and then attach the keypair in configurations/security in the elastic beanstalk environment).
2. In terminal (on mac), navigate to where your private key is stored and use:

    ssh -i "your_private_key_name.pem" ec2-user@your_server

You may get the error message that your PEM is too open in which case use the command:

    chmod 400 your_private_key_name.pem

3. Navigate to the php.conf file using:

    cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk

4. Use this to enter the file:

    sudo nano php.conf

5. This will open the php.conf file which will look

    # This file is managed by Elastic Beanstalk
    #
    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server
    #
    # See conf.d/php-fpm.conf for socket configuration
    #
    root /var/www/html/public;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location ~ \.(php|phar)(/.*)?$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.(?:php|phar))(/.*)$;

        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;

        fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_SCHEME     $scheme;
        fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

        fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

        # PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
        fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;

        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_pass   php-fpm;
    }

6. Insert the following into this after index and before location

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

7. Save the document

8. Run this command to restart nginx

sudo nginx -s reload

9. Exit the environment, you're api should now work
