Convert lighttpd to nginx in Opnsense

[sharif779]

I want to change lighttpd to nginx as default web server. I have already installed and changed configuration in nginx server like lighttpd but api and ui routing is not working.
Here is my changed code for nginx configuration

Code: [Select]

server {
listen 80;

server_name _;

root /usr/local/www;
index index.php index.html;
        location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
       
        location /ui/{
    alias /usr/local/opnsense/www/;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /ui//ui/index.php?_url=$uri&$args;
    location ~ /ui/.+\.php$ {
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
            }
        }

location /api/{
    alias /usr/local/opnsense/www/;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /api//api/api.php?_url=$uri&$args;
    location ~ /api/.+\.php$ {
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
            }
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
    }
}   
After changing config api response is

Code: [Select]

{
    "message": "controller OPNsense\\Core\\Api\\IndexController not found",
    "status": 400
}I have added IndexController though this controller was not in opnsense but it is not working at all.
Can you please help.It is needed to change web server .

The configuration is already there, it is just officially not (yet) supported. Open the nginx.conf and you will find an include for a ready to use web interface config which is commented out. Just remove the comment character. Kill lighttpd and start nginx via CLI using the service tool or the rc script directly.

I am using opnsense 19.1 and there is no nginx.conf in opnsense src. But I found in opnsense git source .
I have added following code from https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/www/nginx/src/opnsense/service/templates/OPNsense/Nginx/webgui.conf

Code: [Select]

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-webgui.socket;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Cipher $ssl_cipher;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Protocol $ssl_protocol;
    fastcgi_param TLS-SNI-Host $ssl_server_name;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
    include        fastcgi_params;
  }

  # Phalcon ui and api routing

  location @apirequest {
    root /usr/local/opnsense/www;
    include        fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING &$query_string;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/opnsense/www/api.php;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Cipher $ssl_cipher;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Protocol $ssl_protocol;
    fastcgi_param TLS-SNI-Host $ssl_server_name;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
    fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-webgui.socket;
  }
  location @guirequest {
    root /usr/local/opnsense/www;
    include        fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING $query_string;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/opnsense/www/index.php;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Cipher $ssl_cipher;
    fastcgi_param TLS-Protocol $ssl_protocol;
    fastcgi_param TLS-SNI-Host $ssl_server_name;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
    fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-webgui.socket;
  }
  location ~ ^/ui/(?<path>[^\?]+)(?<query>\?(.*))? {
    root /usr/local/opnsense/www;
    try_files /$path @guirequest;
  }
  location ~ ^/api/(?<path>[^\?]+)(?<query>\?(.*))?{
    root /usr/local/opnsense/www;
    try_files /$path @apirequest;
  }but same problem exists.

Code: [Select]

{
    "message": "controller OPNsense\\Core\\Api\\IndexController not found",

}FYI , I am using Opnsense in debian

[fabian]

Is your PHP correctly configured? It looks like your class is requesting the wrong controller. IOP does not exist in OPNsense...

[sharif.hossain]

IOP controller exists in opnsense.I have added it.When I switched to lighttpd it’s working fine.
