Freescout installation

Some background data:
Ubuntu 20.04.6 with Pro, ISPConfig 3.2.11p1, using nginx
I'd like to get Freescout running, in a subdirectory, but somehow I'm lost with the nginx directives. The domain basically already works, imagine https://my.domain, Freescout should run in https://my.domain/fs/. I put all files in /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/fs/ (i.e. /var/www/my.domain/web/fs/)

I tried to follow the installation guide, which also mentions this thread for getting it to work in a subdir. I also found this (slightly confusing) post how to generally get Laravel apps working in ISPConfig, but none of these actually worked.

Can someone please shed a light on how to do it CORRECTLY? I don't have a problem with placing the files elsewhere on the server if that helps in any way...

 

try

Code:

##subroot public ##

and

Code:

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

you say this in a subdirectory, so how did you create it in ispconfig? do you have a site on mydomain.tld, and you're running this separately to that in /web/fs? if so, i believe the easiest way would be to create it as a subdomain vhost, and access it on eg fs.mydomain.tld

 

Sorry, half of what you say I don't really get.
Q1)

Well, I'm on the server, via ssh and I created the directory with "mkdir".... It's a standard site in ISPConfig. The domain could be "mydomain.tld", the path is /var/www/clients/client1/web16/ (and the default stuff therein, like web, error, log etc. Opening "https://mydomain.tld/bla.html" in a browser delivers whatever is in /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/bla.html
Q2)

Site? I mean, there's other content there, so, yes...?

The idea is to run Freescout in https://mydomain.tld/fs/
When you copy Freescout installation files, you have a lot of files in /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/fs/, and one of the directories is "public", i.e. /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/fs/public. This directory is the one that has the actual "web site" data. That's how those Laravel apps seem to work. No problem on a web server that is "naked", but on ISPConfig, I'm struggling to get this to work.

So, when you call https://mydomain.tld/fs/, Nginx needs to deliver whatever is in /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/fs/public , mostly index.php. I tried multiple combinations of the location, alias and root directives as shown in some of the links I posted, but none worked.

 

Also, I tried your approach, and what it does, it "redirects" ALL requests to public (/var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/public), even the error pages, which is not what I wanted. I wanted all requests to /fs/ to go to /fs/public/

 

is there anything on my.domain, outside of freescout, that you want to keep accessible?
if so, you can't change the docroot setting to /web/fs/public, anything above that location would be inaccessible (well, you could try setting that in the Location / section, but i have no idea if that works just for there or not)
hence the suggestion to create it as a subdomain vhost in ispconfig, this way, you can still have your site my.domain, at /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web, and you can still install freescout at /var/www/clients/client1/web16/web/fs. but it has it's own vhost configuration, with it's own docroot settings, that don't interfere with the main site at my.domain.

 

Hm, okay, I originally didn't want to use a subdomain, but that works fine, so

thank you guys!
