My config:

• Ubuntu 14.04
• Nginx 1.4.6
• PHP 5.5.9
• Moodle 3.0

I've completed the Moodle 3.0 installation through the browser and there is no css or javascript loaded. This is NGINX error log:

It seems that the path is considering some .php files to be directories. This is my server config:

server {
    listen      8080;
    server_name localhost;

    # Root #
    root /var/www/html/moodle/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
            rewrite ^ 404;
        }
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;

    }
}

They didn't work...

• javascript
• css
• nginx
• ubuntu-14.04
• moodle

• Your error messages display .php scripts with pathinfo, but your configuration does not support pathinfo. See this recipe for guidance. – Richard Smith Commented Apr 24, 2017 at 21:51
• 1 @RichardSmith I read the article you've send, added some changes to my code, but it was almost the same that I did and nothing happened. My code has the fastcgi_split_path_info slightly different from the one on the article. I still have the same issue... – sergiomafra Commented Apr 24, 2017 at 22:44
• Your location ~ \.php$ statement only accepts URIs without pathinfo. The final $ means they finish after the .php. That maybe all you need to change. – Richard Smith Commented Apr 25, 2017 at 8:34
• 1 @RichardSmith man, I tried your fix and it dind't work out. The problem is: the path has to end with .php, otherwise the further slashes will tell the interpreter that the php file is a directory. That's weird... – sergiomafra Commented Apr 25, 2017 at 16:42
• Did you find any fixd for this? – Francisco Caviano Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 1:26

Please add below configuration code on your server part of nginx.conf file.

location / {
             root /var/www/yourwebsite.com;
             index index.php index.html index.htm;

             # moodle rewrite rules
             rewrite ^/(.*.php)(/)(.*)$ /$1?file=/$3 last;
          }

      # php parsing
      location ~ .php$ {
                         root /var/www/yourwebsite.com;
                         try_files $uri =404;
                         fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
                         fastcgi_index index.php;
                         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                          include fastcgi_params;
                          fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
                          fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                          fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
                          fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

               }

Heres my plain nginx config which works fine for moodle >=3.1

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name someservername.com;
        root /var/www;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_index            index.php;
    fastcgi_pass             127.0.0.1:9000;
    include                  fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}

}
