Nginx and 1.3.2 displaying a blank page

[mlanner]

I wanted to switch from Apache2 to Nginx and followed the instructions for my Nginx config file here:

https://phpipam.net/news/phpipam-on-nginx/

First I couldn't get the Unix socket to work so I switched over to using fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;, which seems to work better. However, I only get a blank page when going to ipam.mydomain.com. If I go to ipam.mydomain.com/index.php, it displays the contents of the file instead of rendering the page.

I've looked at various issues here and elsewhere but it seems something about the suggested Nginx config is broken.

My Nginx config file (on Alpine Linux 3.8):

server {
    # virtual server name i.e. domain name
    listen 80;
    server_name ipam.mydomain.com;

    # root directory
    root   /var/www/localhost/htdocs;

    # phpipam
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        index index.php;
    }
    # phpipam - api
    location /api/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /api/index.php;
    }

    # log files
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/ipam.mydomain.com_access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/ipam.mydomain.com_error.log;

    # php-fpm
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        try_files      $uri $uri/ index.php = 404;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Hi, looking around this seems like a direction to investigate in:

It means that your nginx engine doesn't have PHP enabled.

@mlanner i'm using nginx for phpipam 1.3.2 and php-fpm socket, works fine with this config:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name %name%;
  return 301 https://%url%$request_uri;                                                                                                            
  access_log  %access.log%;
  error_log  %error.log%;
}

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name %name%;

# ssl                                                                                                                                                        
  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate %crt%;
  ssl_certificate_key %key%;
  ssl_session_timeout 1d;
  ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:50m;

  access_log  %access.log%;
  error_log  %error.log%;

  keepalive_timeout 5;
  index index.php;
  # path for static files
  root /opt/phpipam/phpipam;

  location /css {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }

  location /js {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }

  location / {     
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    index index.php;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

    if ( $fastcgi_script_name ~ \..*\/.*php ) {
      return 403;
    }
  }
}

Closing, reopen if help still needed.

For version 1.3.2, I can confirm that the NGINX config posted here doesn't work, it gives blank pages.

[tccenter]

Configuration doesn't work.
@phpipam You assumed that the problem is in the nginx engine, but most likely the problem is not in it, since the server where I installed phpipam already has a snipeit system, it also works on php and works correctly.

[BigFriendlyDuck]

Same issue her..
Clean install of phpipam, nginx and php 7.2, and gets a blank page.

Tried using the config-examples pasted over here, but no luck.
Did have a look at the link to alpinelinux.org mentioned and tried changing some configs, but still no luck.

Have tried several things, but it doesn't get better..
(That said - my skill-level at this is not good...)

same issue here, nginx with the provided config produces a blank page, this is ubuntu 18.04, php 7.2, mysql 5.7.24

EDIT:
SOLVED (for me at least):

  # php-fpm
  location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
  }

solved it for me also (debian 8, php 5.6) - thanks a lot !!

If you came here because your nginx + phpfpm setup isn't working, here's some configuration bits to help you :

server {
    # root directory
    root   /var/www/phpipam;

    # phpipam
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        index index.php;
    }
    # phpipam - api
    location /api/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /api/index.php;
    }

    # php-fpm configuration bits
    # some of it is usually packaged or included in /etc/nginx/snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    # but as it is a raw nginx container we don't have the fancy battery-included configuration
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   fpm:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;

        include        fastcgi_params;
    }

I had the same issue,
This worked for me on CentOS 8.
Thanks :)

With PHP7.2 this worked for me, but had to change the fastcgi_pass line since it's using my local server to unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock. I also had to change the define base line in /var/www/phpipam/config.php to define('BASE', "/phpipam/");

This worked for me Ubuntu 18.04, i also had to instal php-gd and php-curl
