</div>

I’m trying to install Mautic on a server running NGINX 1.8. My first questions is, is version 1.8 supported? I see on their requirements it only says 1.1 with no ‘+’. That seems like a fairly old version of NGINX to be the only support version.  
  
  
  
I unziped the files into the /var/www/mautic/ directory and tried to access it in my browser but I get a 500 error every time. I can’t find anything in the error logs, so I’m not sure why it won’t load the files.  
  
  
  
Thanks

You will need to modify it to match your setup though (it actually came from a link on the Slack channel, not sure who it was)

Thanks for the reply! I tried your config and replaced everything with my information as needed, but still getting a 500 error. This is really strange and not sure what’s causing it. I might go to the Slack channel and try my luck there as well.

Be careful with last gist, because it exposes some php file like

Error 500 is usually related to HTTP server misconfiguration. An easy way to troubleshoot your HTTP server is to start with a very basic config file, then add parameters to it one by one.

Hello @theatereleven

Thanks for your help.

I looked at your POST and I have seein that you have added the following lines into your nginx virtual host setup file:

* * *

1. Edit your site’s server block.

The normal path is: /etc/nginx/sites-available/yoursite.com

## location /pages { try\_files $uri $uri/ /pages/?q=$uri&$args; }

## Did you only added this?

## location /pages { try\_files $uri $uri/ /pages/?q=$uri&$args; }

Is it enough to cover ALL Mautic needs to run on NGINX?  
Or have you added any other lines? If so, could you please share?

Hey @Alcides,

Nginx doesn’t need any special configuring to run Mautic. There are certain PHP libraries needed, and the install will tell you if you don’t have them. The ONLY reason I had to edit my server block file is to tell nginx to allow a sub folder on my site to also host site executables. By default, your server block will tell nginx where your website files are (index.php, etc). So if you install mautic in a sub folder, nginx will not allow the index file in there to server anything up.

Hope I’m explaining that okay.

Hey @Alcides - Interesting. Looks like they’re trying to lock stuff down more? That doesn’t hurt! I’m going to try some of the above on one of my installs and see how it goes.

UPDATE: Finally added these to my config. Works! I’d recommend adding that stuff.

@theatereleven

Could you please share what you have done?

I can not make mautic running well on NGINX.

My current issue is related with CSS and JS files.  
They are not beeing load.  
Do you have any ideia of what is this issue?

Hi! @theatereleven  
I followed all you have done. But it is still not working.

My issue is the following error: “NetworkError: 404 Not Found - [https://m.MyDomain.com/mtc.js](https://m.MyDomain.com/mtc.js)”

How to reproduce:  
1 - Installed a fresh new mautic instance.  
2 - setup a simple Landing Page  
3 - Access the landing page.  
4 - the landing page appers well but I receive the message above.

Any idea?

Hi! @theatereleven

Thanks for your help.

Yes! I have done this.

I have added:  
location ~ mtc.js{  
try\_files $uri @phpstream;  
}

With this change, I have now “500 Internal Server Error” instead of 404.

So, I am in the same mood.

We probably need to see your nginx server block file at this point.

You should have this also on another block…

`location @phpstream {
    fastcgi_pass fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
	}`

or

`location @phpstream {
     fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; #or php5.0-sock... depends on your config
	}`

Just try and let me know if it works? I got this issue and not solve until now. See [https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/8458-form-won-t-show-via-javascrip-404-not-found/0#p26198](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/8458-form-won-t-show-via-javascrip-404-not-found/0#p26198)
