1. The problem I’m having:
Hello.
I tried to solve my issue for hours without success and I searched the web a lot not finding any working solution for me.
I use devenv for development and devenv uses Caddy as a webserver.
My project has the following folder structure:
my-app/
├─ admin/
│ ├─ index.php
├─ index.php
I need all frontend requests that are no static resources like CSS, JS or images to be rewritten to index.php
Example: https://localhost:8000/account/orders hits my-app/index.php
All requests to the administration should be rewritten to my-app/admin/index.php
Example: https://localhost:8000/admin/configuration hits my-app/admin/index.php
I tried a couple of configurations and while requests to http://localhost:8000/admin do hit admin/index.php requests like http://localhost:8000/admin/configuration hit /index.php and cause a 404 error in the application frontend router.
2. Error messages and/or full log output:
currently, the setup does not log anything. I will add logging if you show me how.
3. Caddy version:
2.7.6
4. How I installed and ran Caddy:
a. System environment:
Ubuntu 24.04 with Nix and devenv
b. Command:
#!/nix/store/a1s263pmsci9zykm5xcdf7x9rv26w6d5-bash-5.2p26/bin/bash
XDG_DATA_HOME=/media/juergen/ssd-ext/devenv/my-app/.devenv/state/caddy/data XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/media/juergen/ssd-ext/devenv/my-app/.devenv/state/caddy/config /nix/store/7ad29pl6dsmpjkphkv4q7n3pp63g3v7w-caddy-2.7.6/bin/caddy run --config /nix/store/p5jk90mkvbm3ykh7f7gai7l6wnlxmkcm-caddy-config.json
c. Service/unit/compose file:
sorry devenv starts caddy for me, not sure what info you need here.
d. My complete Caddy config:
my config section of caddy in my devenv.nix
:8000 {
encode zstd gzip

file_server
handle /admin/* {
php_fastcgi unix//media/juergen/ssd-ext/devenv/my-app/.devenv/state/php-fpm/web.sock {

}
