Laravel routes not found after nginx install

Question

After I changed ICG to nginx all routes except index page does not work.

Laravel Config:

#/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/laravel
server {
    listen 80;

          


        

Answer 1

This is the correct basic config for Laravel and Nginx:

server {
    listen   80 default_server;

    root /var/www/laravel/public/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

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

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri /index.php =404;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

EDIT: Instead of:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

As of November 2018, as PHP 7.2 is out, it would be:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.2-fpm.sock;
