Feature description

[s15h]

I am experiencing the same problem with the LEMP stack with the default symfony nginx configuration.
Nginx config:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name core.dev www.core.dev;
    root /var/www/core.dev/web;
    include mime.types;

    location / {
        # try to serve file directly, fallback to app.php
        try_files $uri /app.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_pass php:9000;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        # When you are using symlinks to link the document root to the
        # current version of your application, you should pass the real
        # application path instead of the path to the symlink to PHP
        # FPM.
        # Otherwise, PHP's OPcache may not properly detect changes to
        # your PHP files (see https://github.com/zendtech/ZendOptimizerPlus/issues/126
        # for more information).
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
        # Prevents URIs that include the front controller. This will 404:
        # http://domain.tld/app.php/some-path
        # Remove the internal directive to allow URIs like this
    }

    # return 404 for all other php files not matching the front controller
    # this prevents access to other php files you don't want to be accessible.
    location ~ \.php$ {
        return 404;
    }

    error_log /var/log/nginx/core_error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/core_acces.log;
}

This problem went away for me after installing. Though this meant I could not check requirements before install.

[bbak]

Ran into this also yesterday. Requirements check is not possible before having run the installer (IMHO due to missing file app/config/parameters.yml - but I'm not sure)

Besides that, I've these additional Blocks in my nginx config:

	# Pimcore Head-Link Cache-Busting
	rewrite ^/cache-buster-(?:\d+)/(.*) /$1 last;

	# Thumbnails
	location ~* .*/(image|video)-thumb__\d+__.* {
		try_files /var/tmp/$1-thumbnails$request_uri /app.php;
		expires 1d;
		access_log off;
		add_header Cache-Control "public";
	}

	# Pimcore Assets
	# Still use a whitelist approach to prevent each and every missing asset to go through the PHP Engine.
	location ~* (.+?)\.((?:css|js)(?:\.map)?|jpe?g|gif|png|svgz?|eps|exe|gz|zip|mp\d|ogg|ogv|webm|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?)$ {
		try_files /var/assets$uri $uri =404;
		expires 1d;
		access_log off;
		add_header Cache-Control "public";
	}
	# don't allow PHP in folders allowing file uploads
	location ~* /var/assets/*\.php(/|$) {
		return 404;
	}

Note: They don't handle WEBDAV and in contrast to the Apache-Config for v5, I explicitly catch file extensions for assets in a location that doesn't rewrite to /app.php - I simply don't want a 404 of an GET Request to a Asset to fire up a PHP Process.

[s15h]

Thanks for that I'm definitely adding those blocks to my config.

i can install symfony 3 , magento 2, yii2,drupal 8 on my localhost but i cannot install pimcore 5 even after 15 days , i have used docker as well but failed. please make pimcore installation process simple and make the installation documentation easy for new comer if you want more php community on pimcore.

[brusch]

@amjadniazi48 when exaclty you get the error message above? When opening the installer? (http://host/install.php) A bit more details would be really helpful ...

[brusch]

Btw. Pimcore 5 is in alpha and isn't tested well on platforms other than LAMP, so any help to improve support on Windows, Nginx, ... is highly appreciated.

[brusch]

@bbak would be nice if you could contribute your Nginx config :)

[bbak]

@brusch Sure. Just give me some more time to be a bit more confident it actually works. ;-)

[amjadniazi48]

@brusch i m trying to install the pimcore 5 with the following composer command
composer create-project -s dev pimcore/pimcore ./your-project-name dev-master
on wamp but it shows me error as i mentioned above when i go to check installation requirements.
It shows following error after
(http://host/install.php) installtion
Fatal error: Cannot use Pimcore\Model\User as User because the name is already in use in C:\wamp64\www\pimcore5\pimcore\lib\Pimcore\Bundle\AdminBundle\Security\User\TokenStorageUserResolver.php on line 18

[amjadniazi48]

I have successfully installed it on ampps, but the sidebar panel with assets, objects and documents cannot load completely
shows these sort of errors in popup
