Nginx rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting - redirect

Question

I am having troubles with nginx.
Here is my config.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.test.local;
return 301 http://test.local$request_uri;
}
server {
server_name test.local;
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web;
# error_log /var/log/nginx/test.error.log;
# access_log /var/log/nginx/test.access.log;
rewrite ^/app\.php/?(.*)$ /$1 permanent;
location / {
index app.php;
try_files $uri #rewriteapp;
}
location #rewriteapp {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php/$1 last;
}
location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_pass 172.17.0.1:48000;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
internal;
}
location /uploads/ {
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/uploads;
try_files $uri $uri/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location /images/ {
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/images;
try_files $uri $uri/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location /css/ {
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/css;
try_files $uri $uri/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location /js/ {
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/js;
try_files $uri $uri/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location /fonts/ {
root /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/fonts;
try_files $uri $uri/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location = /favicon.ico {
return 204;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
}
I want my locations as http://test.local/css/ link to /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/styles/ as i did it in my config.
But when im entering for example http://test.local/css/flow.css im getting next error:
2016/05/13 15:55:30 [error] 5#5: *64 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/css/flow.css///////////", client: 192.168.99.1, server: test.local, request: "GET /css/flow.css HTTP/1.1", host: "test.local", referrer: "http://test.local/"
Whats the problem here?

Answer 1

You have two problems with your configuration.
The first problem is that your root directives are wrong, so the file is not found.
The second problem is that the default action is to add another / to the end of the URI.
You need to add a valid default action to your try_files directive, such as a 404 response:
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
So, back to the first problem. Your configuration states that /css/example.css is located at /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/web/css/css/example.css. Notice that /css/ is replicated. Same goes for /images/, /js/ and /fonts/. See this document for details of the root directive.
In most configurations, it is sufficient to specify the root at the server block level and allow it to be inherited by almost all location blocks, rather than repeating it in each location.
Your question states that /css/ files should be found in /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/styles/. This requires an alias directive. See this document for details of the alias directive. For example:
location /css/ {
alias /usr/share/nginx/test/htdocs/styles/;
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
