I developed an app in Laravel that uses Google authentication, it works perfectly on my localhost. When I deployed it in my nginx server (ubuntu 24.04) I get the Google login correctly and it proceeds to my main page as expected. But after that, no route is accessible. All of them throw me a 404. I’ve been googling it for ages but I can’t for the life of me find the solution for this.
EDIT: The 404 comes from Laravel, not nginx. The weird part is if I try php artisan route:list on the ser the routes are indeed missing but on the localhost they all show. The code is pretty much the same.
Here’s is my app conf file:
server {
server_name partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org;
root /var/www/html/partviewer/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/partviewer-error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/partviewer-access.log;
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name partituras-cmcgb.duckdns.org;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
You’re probably going to need logs to rule out any permissions errors or the like.
Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below?
Yeah, sounds like a permissions error.
Check out this page. https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/deployment
You have to redirect all requests to index.php in the public folder. There is a sample Nginx configuration file on this page.
Could it be a route cache thing? may be worth trying
artisan route:clear
followed byartisan route:cache
I’m not sure, but looks like you’re denying all .htaccess files. Laravel depends on .htaccess to make things work properly
Take a look on Laravel docs - Deployment to make sure your configs are right
As far as I know only Apache uses .htaccess files, Nginx works a different way

I was the same until like two months ago when I had to learn Nginx!
I already went through that. I wouldn’t post here without starting with the official documentation.
Why are you using that?
location ~ /\.ht { deny all; }
You’re denying the access to your root, which is the
public/
folder and has the file.htaccess
that has<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <IfModule mod_negotiation.c> Options -MultiViews -Indexes </IfModule> RewriteEngine On # Handle Authorization Header RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} . RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$ RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301] # Send Requests To Front Controller... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] </IfModule>
This file handles the income requests and send to the front controller.
The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.
could you replace
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
withtry_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$is_args$args
That might work
It was the first “solution” on google. Didn’t work.
Oh, does the route hit your location? What’s in the logs?
The correct URL appears in the browser but the page shows a 404. According to the logs they don’t exist…but they’re there…
