Magento 1 in a subdirectory

If you have Magento 1 in a sub directory within your document root you will need to edit your domain's NGINX configuration (Example: /etc/nginx/conf.d/example.com.conf).

For this example we have Magento 1 in the sub directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/htdocs/shop/. You need to replace the instance of replacemebackend with the PHP-FPM configuration pool name. This should be defined at the top of your NGINX configuration file.

location ~ ^/shop/ {
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  try_files $uri $uri/ @shophandler;
  expires 30d;

  location ~ (index|get|static|report|404|503)\.php$ {
  try_files $uri =404;
 #fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
 #fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE $magesite;

  fastcgi_pass replacemebackend;
  fastcgi_buffers 1024 4k;

  fastcgi_param PHP_FLAG "session.auto_start=off \n suhosin.session.cryptua=off";
  fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "memory_limit=768M \n max_execution_time=600";
  fastcgi_read_timeout 600s;
  fastcgi_connect_timeout 600s;

  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  include fastcgi_params;
     }
  }

  location @shophandler {rewrite / /shop/index.php; }

To implement this change you need to reload the NGINX service. First perform a configuration test with the following command:

 ~]$ nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

If there are no errors in the configuration test proceed to reload the NGINX service with the following command:

 ~]$ nginx -s reload
