server.conf

# With this nginx configuration, you will be able to serve a Symfony app in a subdirectory
# of a wordpress (or any other PHP application).

server {
	listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;

	server_name mysite.com;
	root /var/www/wordpress;
	index index.php app.php index.html;

	location /subdirectory {
		root $symfonyRoot;
		rewrite ^/subdirectory/(.*)$ /$1 break;
		try_files $uri @symfonyFront;
	}

	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
	}

	set $symfonyRoot /var/www/symfony/web;
	set $symfonyScript app.php;
   
  # This is for the Symfony application
	location @symfonyFront {
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
		include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
		fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $symfonyRoot/$symfonyScript;
		fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /subdirectory/$symfonyScript;
		fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI /subdirectory$uri?$args;

  # This is for the wordpress app
	location ~ \.php {
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
		fastcgi_index index.php;
		fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
		fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
		fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
		fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $uri?$args;

Hero! Thanks

Mhm, tried it with our nginx server - doesn´t work :(

current directory structure is:

/var/www/demo.domain.com/web (Frontend, Single Page React App)
/backend/web (Symfony Application)

But it simply doesn´t work :(

Edit:

We found out, that is seems to be connected to symfony routes. Did you change anything, when putting symfony into a subdirectory/location?

Needed this, thanks!

Cool stuff, this really pointed me in the right direction!!

Worth noting to remove the subdirectory:

fastcgi_split_path_info ^/subdirectory/(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
