Adding a subdirectory path in url to website url

Question

I am trying to set up magento 2 in a subdirectory via nginx ? i want my url to be

http://mywebsite.com/shop/

If I run my website with base url : http://mywebsite.com/ .It works but when I add /shop/ it doesn't. I have tried a lot many things but still not able to figure out.

FYI : I am not trying to make a store here as other stack overflow solutions have suggested. I just want the subdirectory path in the url. Also I am using the nginx.conf.sample

I kept mostly everything same in nginx.conf but with this addition :

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

and

location /shop/static/ {
    # Uncomment the following line in production mode
    # expires max;

    # Remove signature of the static files that is used to overcome the browser cache
    location ~ ^/shop/static/version {
        rewrite ^/shop/static/(version[^/]+/)?(.*)$ /static/$2 last;
    }

    location ~* \.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|js|css|swf|eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2|json)$ {
        add_header Cache-Control "public";
        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
        expires +1y;

        if (!-f $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^/shop/static/?(.*)$ /static.php?resource=$1 last;
        }
    }
    location ~* \.(zip|gz|gzip|bz2|csv|xml)$ {
        add_header Cache-Control "no-store";
        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
        expires    off;

        if (!-f $request_filename) {
           rewrite ^/shop/static/?(.*)$ /static.php?resource=$1 last;
        }
    }
    if (!-f $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/shop/static/?(.*)$ /static.php?resource=$1 last;
    }
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
}

The static resource loads fine but the page is giving me 404 error. Don't understand what might be the issue here ?

Answer 1

I'm not an nginx expert, but Servers for Hackers has provided a superb walkthrough of nesting one PHP application within another. I've broken down their instructions in a way that might help, or at least point you in the right direction. I assume here that you're serving Magento from pub as Magento recommends, so that your directory structure looks like /var/www/shop/pub.

Add to your conf:

 location /shop { // if subdomain /shop/ is requested, then do this stuff
    alias /var/www/shop/pub; // declare /shop/ as an alias for your Magento instance
    try_files $uri $uri/ @shop; // resolve requests to /shop/ using a @shop variable, defined below

    location ~ \.php$ { // assuming you pass requests to fastcgi
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   $request_filename; // reset SCRIPT_FILENAME to our Magento alias
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}

location @shop { // resolve /shop/ requests, accounting for Magento subdomains
    rewrite /shop/(.*)$ /shop/index.php?/$1 last; // rewrite /shop/subdomain requests appropriately
}

I can think of two possible solutions. I didn't test both of them. So I would be glad to hear if they work.

• Did you try to litterally add the /shop/ part in the base url? You can do that in the backend or directly in database in table core_config_data. Try checking/setting these web/unsecure/base_url, web/secure/base_url, web/unsecure/base_link_url and web/secure/base_link_url.
• Did you try to move the /pub directory in a new /shop directory which you made? After this you should change the symlink of your www root to /shop/pub instead of just /pub. Also you should add another level up ../ on line 13 of index.php in the that directory so Magento could be loaded. It would look like this require __DIR__ . '/../../app/bootstrap.php';

These are suggestions. They might be incomplete or just part of the solution. If you could try them and give feedback I can take another look from there.

If you are trying to create a store only then you need to copy index.php and .htaccess from main website and then change path of

require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';

To :

require '../app/bootstrap.php';

Then change $params value

$params = $_SERVER;

$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = '<store_name>';

$params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';

.htaccess :

## path relative to web root

#RewriteBase /magento/

SetEnvIf Host .*<store_name>.* MAGE_RUN_CODE=<store_name>

SetEnvIf Host .*<store_name>.* MAGE_RUN_TYPE=website

OR :

Update index.php from pub folder

<?php
/**
 * Public alias for the application entry point

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
use Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList;

try {
    require realpath(__DIR__) . '/../app/bootstrap.php';
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo <<<HTML
<div style="font:12px/1.35em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
    <div style="margin:0 0 25px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">
        <h3 style="margin:0;font-size:1.7em;font-weight:normal;text-transform:none;text-align:left;color:#2f2f2f;">
        Autoload error</h3>
    </div>
    <p>{$e->getMessage()}</p>
</div>
HTML;
    exit(1);
}

$params = $_SERVER;
$params[Bootstrap::INIT_PARAM_FILESYSTEM_DIR_PATHS] = [
    DirectoryList::PUB => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => ''],
    DirectoryList::MEDIA => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media'],
    DirectoryList::STATIC_VIEW => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'static'],
    DirectoryList::UPLOAD => [DirectoryList::URL_PATH => 'media/upload'],
];

switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
    case "<domain>":
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = '<store_code>';
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website';
        break;
}


$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);
/** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Http $app */
$app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http');
$bootstrap->run($app);
