Nginx prestashop 1.6.1.9 and 1.7 not working

[RickD1]

 Hello ,

 

I want to install and use prestashop in nginx. It is way easier to get it working on apache, but because of 

security conserns we do prefer nginx.

 

I have not a lot of experience with nginx nor prestashop so i am not fully understanding what i am doing. 

 

I created rewrite rules in the nginx config and i sucessfully installed prestashop. But i do encounter serious 

problems which might be very hard to fix or not.

 

When i installed prestashop 1.7 everything was working fine. But when i clicked on modules & services 

i would be redirected to the root of the server ( which is because it probably is a 404 error ). The other option for modules does work. 

 

I tried several different configurations and ended up installing prestashop 1.6.9.6. Again everything is working even the modules & services. So i installed a plug-in i needed. And when i connected to the front office the same thing happens as in 1.7 at the modules & services. While in 1.7 the front office did function normally.

 

I have no clue where to find what is going wrong. I assume it has something to do with the rewrite rules. 

 

 

 

I have installed prestashop in a separate folder in the web-server root, because i am just testing. And it should not interfere with the website running at the moment. 

 

So i have for example : www.example.com and www.example.com/prestashop. Maybe the configuration assumes that the files inside /prestashop  should be in the root. But that would be weird because it is working but some things do not. 

 

 

I hope someone can take some time to help me. I have no clue what to do and i am pretty frustrated since i want to make this working very badly. 

 

I will give some specifics about the server:

I am using php5-fpm 

 

Also i will enclose some information about the nginx configuration.

It has been some time since i posted this thread. There were 80 views on the time of writing.

Is this question to hard or do people not want to answer ?

 

Is it possible for someone to paste an nginx configuration that does work on their systems , maybe we can figure out 

the differences.

 

I am very greatfull for help !!!
