nginx＆laravel：内部重定向到“/index.php”时重写或内部重定向循环

Question

I am trying to upload my laravel app to my Digital Ocean droplet.

I followed this tutorial and now I am getting 500 server error.

here is my nginx error.log:

I searched around for this error and I think there must be something wrong with my 'sites-available' files. I tried to play around with some values there but I couldn't get it to work yet.

here are the current contents of my 'sites-available/antique.samiemad.me':

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

    root /var/www/antique.samiemad.me/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    server_name antique.samiemad.me;
    charset   utf-8;

    gzip on;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";
    gzip_comp_level 6;
    gzip_min_length 1100;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_types
        text/plain
        text/css
        text/js
        text/xml
        text/javascript
        application/javascript
        application/x-javascript
        application/json
        application/xml
        application/xml+rss;

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

    location ~ \.php\$ {
        try_files \$uri /index.php =404; # tried to comment-out this line.. no luck :(
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)\$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \$document_root\$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|cur|gz|svg|svgz|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm|htc|svg|woff|woff2|ttf)\$ {
      expires 1M;
      access_log off;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
    }

    location ~* \.(?:css|js)\$ {
      expires 7d;
      access_log off;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny  all;
    }

}

I think maybe the problem is in one of the try_files commands? I tried to comment-out the line pointed out in the code but I still have the same error. So it must be something else causing this.

Answer 1

Turns out the problem was that I had '\' before some '$' signs..

I removed them and it worked like a charm.

I will contact the tutorial author to correct his code.
