There was a statement by a SuiteCRM maintainer, that nginx was not supported with SuiteCRM 8 and one should use an Apache server.

Well, here is a working nginx server conf that handles legacy and all types of API requests:

server {
        listen 80; # adjust to your needs
        listen [::]:80;
        root /path/to/SuiteCRM/public;
        index  index.php index.html index.htm;
        server_name  localhost;

        client_max_body_size 100M;



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

            # optionally disable falling back to PHP script for the asset directories;
            # nginx will return a 404 error when files are not found instead of passing the
            # request to Symfony (improves performance but Symfony's 404 page is not displayed)
            # location /bundles {
            #     try_files $uri =404;
            # }

            location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9074; # adjust to your needs

                # Otherwise, PHP's OPcache may not properly detect changes to

            }

            # return 404 for all other php files not matching the front controller

Hi @myfluxi,

Welcome to the community :wave: and thank you for trying out SuiteCRM 8 RC.

Thanks for the guide!

@D3rv @chriswithadot the above may help with some of the questions you’ve posted previously.

Though I think there maybe a couple of scenarios were you may find issues, due to some legacy code.

Hey, thanks for this base config, it works decently!

Just note that:

  • Logs are public (/legacy/suitecrm.log)
  • If using OAuth2, the keys would also be accessible on /Api/V8/OAuth2/private.key

In order to fix this, I changed location ~ \.php$ by location ~ \.(php|key|log)$ in the necessary places.

Please rotate your OAuth keys after doing that :-D.

I am really grateful to you for you help. Its working :slight_smile:

It seems fine after I changed fastcgi_pass from “fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9074;” to “unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;”. But there is a problem. Dashboard loading fail, spining circle keeps on going. It didn’t happen while it runs on Apache2.

So I used the nginx configuration provided by author. And your comment. I’ve also checked in <project_root>/public/legacy/.htaccess file to devise a safe to work with nginx.conf file for SuiteCRM 8.2.4 version.

I ended up with this:

upstream php-upstream {
    server changeme;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate changeme;
    ssl_certificate_key changeme;
    root /var/www/suite/public;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;

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

        location /bundles {
            try_files $uri =404;
        }
