Nginx/Fcgi: index.php issue with pseudo-alias location

Solution:

Ok, alias is buggy (rewrite too…), but if you avoid try_files and use if instead (even if evil…) it should work!

server
{
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /var/www/html;

    location /forum/
    {
        alias /path/to/htdocs/phpbb/;
        index index.php index.html;

        location ~ "^(/forum/)(.+\.php)(/.+){0,1}$"
        {
            if (!-f $document_root$2)
            {
                return 404;
            }

            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi.conf;

            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$2;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $1$2;
            fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO          $3;

            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        }
    }
}
Copy code

phpinfo() looks fine, but one question remains: Is it secure?
