Caddy V2: php issue due to missing rewrite?

[NormandiePI1 (Tom Normandie)]

Hi all,

Please find below description of issue i’ve have due to incorrect/missing rewrite.

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

v2.0.0 h1:pQSaIJGFluFvu8KDGDODV8u4/QRED/OPyIR+MWYYse8=

2. How I run Caddy:

a. System environment:

Raspberry 3b+ with Raspbian + VNCServer + Syncthing + Minidlna + 2 Sata HDD + Caddy 2.0 + Gogs.

b. Command:

Caddy is start with :
caddy start -config=/home/pi/.config/caddy/Caddyfile

c. Service/unit/compose file:

d. Caddyfile:

File CaddyFile

localhost 192.168.1.26 {
    root * /media/data_sata2/www
    php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock
    encode zstd gzip
    file_server browse
    tls internal
    log {
        stdout
        #output file /var/log/caddy.log
    }
    #Added for Php
    #rewrite match:indexFiles {path}/ # No redirect required

    # internally rewrite directory URIs to index.php files
    try_files {path} {path}/ /index.php/{uri} # Last part is the problem

    # proxy any requests for PHP files to backend via FastCGI
    #matcher phpFiles {
    #    path *.php
    #}
}

3. The problem I’m having:

On localhost root, i have 2 files:
index.html which is a static page with links to different path (directories)
With Firefox
if i type
https://localhost/index.html
i see correct page.

if i type
https://localhost/index.php
i see correct page.

index.php contains only: <?php phpinfo(); ?>

If i type
localhost/[my path] /index.php which is index.php for Wordpress
It seems i’m rerouted to localhost/index.php !
I’ve same render and not the index.php (Wordpress index.php).

If i type
localhost/[my path] /park.php which contains static HTML page
It seems i’m rerouted to localhost/index.php !
I’ve same render and not the index.php (Wordpress index.php).

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

i’ve got no error except on all paths i go. I see the root index.php file and not the correct index.php i’ve in my path.

5. What I already tried:

i typed on browser localhost/[my path] /park.php which contains static HTML page and my browser shows me index.php render.
it seems that all path i set, i get localhost/index.php ! as i’m always redirected to localhost root.

Question:
What is correct rewrite needed to no be redirected to localhost/index.php ? because it seems to be that.
I didn’t able to look for solution.
I tested what is in this :

V2: Caddy php config help

I compared the fastcgi environment variables that Caddy v1 and v2 send over fastcgi, I see no relevant differences. I went through the thinkphp v5 and v6 framework source code (specifically Request.php, which is where the request is bootstrapped from $_SERVER env vars). The PATH_INFO var is not needed because there are fallbacks to use REQUEST_URI instead, which should be correctly set. You can probably test this yourself, try dumping $_SERVER in your index.php before the app is booted. At th…

without success.

Thanks for your help?

Regards,

Tom

I went ahead and edited the Caddyfile in your post to fix the formatting, it was very hard to read. FYI, to embed code blocks in your posts, use ``` on lines before and after the code. Don’t use > as that’s for quotes, not code.

What does this mean exactly? You omitted the “my path”, so I don’t understand the question. Are you putting non-Wordpress PHP files in there that you’re trying to serve as well? What does the directory structure look like? You can use the tree command from the webroot to show a text representation of the directory structure (feel free to remove the extra files that aren’t relevant from the output).

Take a look at the expanded form of php_fastcgi:

php_fastcgi (Caddyfile directive) - Caddy Documentation

You’ll notice that it has its own try_files logic there that should already do what you need, so you don’t need to specify your own.

try_files

Hi Francis,
thanks for formatting my wrong message.
I’ll try to take time before tonight to test with fast_phhcpi other options.

Tom.
