ISPCONFIG3 + NGINX – WORDPRESS ISSUE

ISPCONFIG3 + NGINX – WORDPRESS ISSUE

source : by   Matt Cooper

Following on from the ISPConfig3 running on nginx tutorial I then came to installing a WordPress site within ISPConfig. Piece of cake, right?

So I went about the usual process of setting up a new site and database within the ISPConfig interface. Then I grabbed the latest WordPress (wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz), placing it in the correct location inside the “web” directory for this particular site. Ownership/permissions were then updated – everything as per normal in this environment.

I then enter the URL into my browser and low and behold the WordPress home page appeared. Great! Until I browsed to any other page within the test site:

ERROR 404 – Not Found!

From a considerable bit of Googling I found the following piece of code needs to be appended to your nginx Directives (ISPConfig > Website > Options)

1. location / {
2. try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
3. }

Restarted nginx and we’re back in business. All pages loading as they should.
