NGINX configuration file for CakePHP projects with subdirectory

nginx_cakephp.dev.conf

# NGINX Configuration for CakePHP projects with url subdirectories.
# 
# In a classic-default-generic CakePHP project you can have as many
# independent applications as you want just by copying the app/
# directory. Apache and the .htaccess files will make the magic, but
# in a nginx server you will need a touch to your virtualhost conf.
# 
# So, in order to make this:
# 
# example.com/                    —>  ~/cakephp.dev/app/webroot/index.php
# example.com/friendly-url/*      —>  ~/cakephp.dev/app/webroot/index.php
# example.com/api/                —>  ~/cakephp.dev/api/webroot/
# example.com/api/friendly-url/*  —>  ~/cakephp.dev/api/webroot/
# 
# You will need the next configuration:
# 
# Note: The order of the first location directive is important.
