Installation with NGINX

[homescriptone]

This configuration may work in any version prior to Mautic 3.3, but for higher versions, you may encounter an error in the console if you try to add a new email, landing page or any other feature using the builder.

Here’s what I get in my console as an error:

After 2 weeks of searching, I finally found this on Github that helped me better understand the error:

Ambiguous/incorrect error message with invalid webserver configuration

They suggested updating the nginx configuration so that it could take into account requests from the builder :

server {
    # see: http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
    # see: http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil
    listen 80;

    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    error_page 404 /index.php;

    # Make site accessible from http://set-ip-address.xip.io
    server_name ### your external domain here ###;
