(Solved)Wordpress problem with NGINX config in different docroot

i try to setup a wordpress with a different root folder /releases/test/ inside the default ispconfig web folder.

first i've tried this so far, found something here in the forum and modified to my needs:

Code:

location / {
root {DOCROOT}releases/test;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string /releases/test/index.php?$query_string;
 } 

this resulted in a 404 error.

After searching google and trying around i came to this solution.

Code:

location / {
   root {DOCROOT}/releases/test/;
    try_files /releases/test/$uri /releases/test/$uri/ /releases/test/index.php?$query_string;
}

This works for the delivery of the index.php from the {DOCROOT}/releases/test/ folder. But with a new install i get redirected in the browser to www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/setup-config.php and this results in a 404 error.

now i tested this after finding something in the forum

Code:

##merge## root {DOCROOT}/releases/test/;

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

But this only removes ##merge## root {DOCROOT}/releases/test/; from the config and doesn't replace the root in the config.

My Questions:
- do i need to have another rewrite for the wp-admin folder? If yes, how?
- are there any other rewrites i need to get the WP installation running with a different webroot?
- does anybody got a NGINX Config for WP with different docroot he could share with me?

thanks for your help!

 

Solution:

Code:

##subroot releases/test/ ##

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