Error 404 Not Found on .php files only

I have an nginx reverse proxy container and also an nginx and a php-fpm one. I have no problem serving .html files but when I try to navigate to a .php I receive Error 404 Not Found.

This is the docker-compose.yml of nginx reverse proxy:

version: "2"

services:
  nginx-proxy:
    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine
    container_name: nginx-proxy
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
      - ./vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: nginx-proxy-net

This is the docker-compose.yml of my website:

version: "2"

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    expose:
      - 80
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./html:/usr/share/nginx/html
    environment:
      - VIRTUAL_HOST=vhost.example.it
    container_name: vhost-html

  php:
    image: php:7-fpm
    expose:
      - 9000
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./html:/usr/share/nginx/html
    environment:
      - VIRTUAL_PROTO=fastcgi
      - VIRTUAL_ROOT=/usr/share/nginx/html
      - VIRTUAL_PORT=9000
      - VIRTUAL_HOST=vhost-php.local
    container_name: vhost-php

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: nginx-proxy-net

Also I created a per-VIRTUAL_HOST configuration file inside vhost.d folder:

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass vhost-php:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}

Is this a bug with FastCGI?

I had this probem too, and I really don’t know what change finally fixed it. However, here is my minimal docker-compose.yaml file that runs a simple PHP server (no MySQL, no special extensions) for a demo app:

There may be some clues there. One thing that may have fixed it was overriding the entire /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory rather than just add my own conf file. The nginx image comes with some default conf files that may be overriding settings in your conf file. The second thing was setting the working_dir for the nginx container.

I’m exactly going through the same problems
