How do I redirect to virtual directory in Ngnix?

Hello,
I am installing a very new Laravel php software. All files are placed under mydomain.tld/web/

This software requires that when I browse to a virtual directory /install/, http://mydomain.tld/install, it should start the software automatically. But I only get 404 error.

How do I correct it? Russian Bloc fans, please help me to solve it.

 

Is your nginx web server http only? Does the software requires adding nginx snippets like WP or Joomla?

 

I have a Letsencrypt SSL for my vhost.
No error in the log. I add a line in the vhost file as requested by the php script but it does not work out of box:

Code:

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

 

Yes, sometime it does not work out of the box and you need to use the one that others claimed working instead, of which you have to research since we do not know what software you were talking about.

Do try from https://mydomain.tld/install since you said you already has vhost with SSL for that domain.

 

It works after I append /public/ to web root web/ in Nginx vhost file.

 

As to hosting very heavy php software, Nginx vs Apache 2.4 is about the same.
