Nginx Config for Moodle (with proper rewrite/paths)

moodle-nginx-config

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name learn.mydomain.com;

    return 301 https://learn.mydomain.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name learn.mydomain.com;
    root "/srv/www/learn.mydomain.com";

    error_log /var/log/nginx/learn.mydomain.com-error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/learn.mydomain.com-access.log;

    rewrite ^/(.*\.php)(/)(.*)$ /$1?file=/$3 last;

    location / {
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }

    fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;

        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com.chained.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/mydomain.com.key;
}

the URI rewrite actually breaks LTI mod as the fastcgi_split_path_info is no longer able to correctly extract the PATH_INFO variable

Thanks.

Finally! This works, many thanks.
