i have a nginx server running and want to remove the .php extension from my files. I have allready tried a few things but the only thing i managed to accopmplish was breaking the fastcgi proccessing leading into downloading php files. The server is running fine with the following configuration:
## # Virtual Host configuration for example.com ## server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name example.com www.example.com; return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl; listen [::]:443 ssl; ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GC$ ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/dhparams.pem; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; root /usr/share/nginx/html/example/; index index.php; server_name example.com www.example.com; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } location /uploads { deny all; } error_page 404 /templates/404.php; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi.conf; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; } location ~* \.(?:ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|font.css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ { expires 365d; access_log off; add_header Cache-Control "public"; } location ~ /\. { deny all; } } Thank you for your effort and time.
