Fresh Install backend 404 Page Not Found

Farid Khan · Mar 24, 2017

I am using CENTOS 7 64-bit, installed VestaCP v0.9.8-17. I created a nginx+PHP-FPM web site in VestaCP for mailwizz. I Installed mailwizz-1.3.8.6 on the vestacp website. Install goes fine, I am able to install mailwizz on the server without any issues. After install I delete the install folder in the website and then try to goto /backend and then nothing loads I get 404 error. Not sure whats causing this and cant seem to find any good documentation on how to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

@Farid Khan - have you seen: https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/nginx-server-basic-configuration-for-mailwizz/ ?

Farid Khan · Mar 24, 2017

I did, but I was not sure where to put that content in the conf in the nginx conf that I have on my vestacp. Maybe there are a few lines that only need to be changed on the vestacp nginx.conf file? not replace that whole file? the vestacp nginx.conf has alot of data in it.

@Farid Khan - Never worked with vestacp, but i think it should give you some options to add additional nginx directives for your host?
if not, maybe try and paste the nginx.conf here and we can have a look.

Farid Khan · Mar 24, 2017

I used this for now...
https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/install-mailwizz-using-just-one-bash-command/

but I will setup a vestacp in my lab and then paste the nginx.conf here to see what parts can be edited to make vestacp work with mailwizz. I would like to get the monitoring and other features of vestacp.

@Farid Khan - the docker image is pretty solid, it should work without issues.
Learning docker, in case you never used it before, can help a lot in future for other types of work too.

I got the same problem here. I have a mailwizz fresh install in a linode VPS running Ngnix web server. I have other websites running without problems, but mailwizz returns the erro bellow after fresh install:

Error 404!
Unable to resolve the request "backend/index.php/guest/index".

I tried to change my nginx.conf as showed here https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/nginx-server-basic-configuration-for-mailwizz/ but when I did it, my nginx server fail to restart ou reload.

Bellow a copy of my nginx.conf file. Someone can help me to solve that problem please?

Should I change something on my virtual host webroot file?

Code:

server {

    server_name ooriginal.com.br   www.ooriginal.com.br;

    root /var/www/ooriginal.com.br/htdocs;
    index  index.html index.htm index.php


    access_log /var/log/nginx/ooriginal.com.br.access.log rt_cache;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/ooriginal.com.br.error.log;


    include common/php.conf;     

    
    include common/locations.conf;
    include /var/www/ooriginal.com.br/conf/nginx/*.conf;


}

@Luis - in your nginx.conf you have this line
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
which means additional files are loaded from that path, as you cleverly pointed out above, so the mailwizz specific code should go there, above the include common/php.conf; statement.

Hi!
I did the modifications on the webroot file as bellow. But nginx still fail to reload. Nginx -t command returns:

But I didn't saw nothing wrong on line 28.

If you take out the "

location / {
        if (!-e $request_filename){
        rewrite ^(/)?api/.*$ /api/index.php;
        }

         }
         if (!-e $request_filename){
         rewrite ^(/)?backend/.*$ /backend/index.php;
         }
         if (!-e $request_filename){
         rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php;
         }
         index  index.html index.htm index.php;
     }

All that I tried so far still making error 404.

Thank you.

@onlinecheckwriter - solution for what exactly?
if you're running nginx, here's the article: https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/nginx-server-basic-configuration-for-mailwizz/
if you're running apache, nothing has to be done.
