Drupal 8 in a subdirectory with nginx
Assuming this nginx configuration as a starting point:
root /var/www/example.org/web;
location / {
try_files $uri @rewrite;
}
location @rewrite {
rewrite ^ /index.php;
}
You can configure your Drupal 8 instance to run in a subdirectory of the site with two simple steps.
In this example we change the instance’s base url from http://example.org/ to http://example.org/subdir/.
1. Change nginx configuration
Replace the ‘location /’ block with this:
location ~ /subdir/(.*) {
try_files /$1 @rewrite;
}
2. Change Drupal settings.php
Add the following to your settings.php (or settings.X.php):
if(isset($GLOBALS['request'])) {
$scriptName = $GLOBALS['request']->server->get('SCRIPT_NAME');
$scriptName = preg_match('#^/subdir/#', $scriptName) ? : "/subdir$scriptName";
$GLOBALS['request']->server->set('SCRIPT_NAME', $scriptName);
}
… and that’s it!
Hopefully there will be a cleaner way of doing this in the future…
Tested with Drupal 8.1.6.
