Server configuration
Nginx config file example:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name localhost; # domain name
charset utf-8;
index index.html index.php;
client_max_body_size 50M;
keepalive_timeout 300;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
server_tokens off;
fastcgi_send_timeout 300;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/json;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_comp_level 9;
root /path-to-espo/public; # path to public dir
location /client {
root /path-to-espo; # path to espocrm root dir
autoindex off;
location ~* ^.+.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|tpl)$ {
access_log off;
expires max;
}
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass espocrm-php:9000;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
}
location /api/v1/ {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/index.php last; break;
}
}
location /portal/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /portal/index.php?$query_string;
}
location /api/v1/portal-access {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/portal-access/index.php last; break;
}
}
location ~ /(\.htaccess|\web.config|\.git) {
deny all;
}
}
You need to change /path-to-espo to the absolute path of your AutomaticERP instance.
For AutomaticERP v6 and older
Add this code to your Nginx server config file /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_SITE inside server block:
server {
# ...
client_max_body_size 50M;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location /api/v1/ {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/index.php last; break;
}
}
location /portal/ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /portal/index.php?$query_string;
}
location /api/v1/portal-access {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/api/v1/(.*)$ /api/v1/portal-access/index.php last; break;
}
}
location ^~ (data|api)/ {
if (-e $request_filename){
return 403;
}
}
location ^~ /data/ {
deny all;
}
location ^~ /application/ {
deny all;
}
location ^~ /custom/ {
deny all;
}
location ^~ /vendor/ {
deny all;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
If you don’t have this file, you have to create it. For this open a terminal and run the command:
sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/espocrm.conf
And add the code listed above. For more information on how to configure a new Virtual Host on Nginx.
Run this command in a terminal to check if everything is fine:
sudo nginx -t
If so, run the command to restart nginx server:
sudo service nginx restart
