OctoDev Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Anyone got the rewrite rule for nginx? For apache etc: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /api/ RewriteRule .* index.php [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L] </IfModule> MGB and Ioannis D 2
Ioannis D Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 That was my first question in my mind after the upgrade. It's a good idea an information message in ACP with NGiNX rewrite rules when .htaccess Apache's needs update.
Sly_Ripper Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I just added: location /forums/api { try_files $uri $uri/ /forums/api/index.php; } Now it just seems the API is broken, the key is correctly passed to the script (even checked by echoing the $rawApiKey variable), it just throws an exception: curl http://localhost/forums/api/core/hello --user test: { "errorCode": "3S290\/7", "errorMessage": "INVALID_API_KEY" } curl http://localhost/forums/api/core/hello { "errorCode": "2S290\/6", "errorMessage": "NO_API_KEY" } Edited January 4, 2016 by Sly_Ripper
prupdated Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 location /api/ { rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ /api/index.php; } Seems to be working (adjust for your directory structure as needed). I used the sample script here: Which outputs as expected (replaced name and url): php testapi.php { "communityName": "name", "communityUrl": "url", "ipsVersion": "4.1.6" } emilhem and Brian K. 2

You need to use curl --user APIKEY http://domain.com/api/core/hello

After adding the nginx rule and restarting nginx, just reload the REST API page in the ACP, it should go through automatically and let you add an key.
Get-Gaming Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I'm experiencing the same issue, it won't go past the testing page. Using plesk 12.5 with nginx proxy.

Get-Gaming Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 As far I understand its using proxy. However switching to apache won't make it work either. /le sigh

Never used plesk myself so not sure. Nginx and php-fpm, tested it in Apache and it worked. Edit: I created an API key while using Apache, switched over to Nginx and using that key gives a valid result, but still using "test" as the key fails (and so the AdminCP shows no options to add/edit keys yet). >curl http://localhost/forums/api/core/hello --user a33cb937a4953c72bc4da6e89da39e51: { "communityName": "IPS Community Suite", "communityUrl": "http:\/\/localhost\/forums\/", "ipsVersion": "4.1.6" } >curl http://localhost/forums/api/core/hello --user test: { "errorCode": "3S290\/7", "errorMessage": "INVALID_API_KEY" } @bfarber Should I submit a bug report?

Should I submit a bug report? Not sure if it's a bug as it worked fine for me on my nginx install, I'll test it on my other site which also runs nginx. Update: Works fine as-well.

OctoDev Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Hmm i think it's weird how they are not providing any support or guides regarding nginx.. apache is way too slow, nginx should be one of the default configs supported Brian K., prupdated and Ioannis D 3

Most developers don't support nginx, unfortunately. But I never had a problem getting things to work myself with nginx. Edited January 6, 2016 by Ahmad E.
Brian K. Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Yeah I'm surprised they haven't added NGINX support. I bet a large chunk of their customers use NGINX yet they're still stuck on Apache for some odd reason. @Ahmad E. the issue really isn't getting things to work with NGINX as anyone that is semi-competent can make it happen. The problem is when you open a support ticket with Invision Power and they use the fact that you have NGINX as a reason not to provide you with proper support. I had issues before where the imageproxy key needed a new hash because I changed my subdomain URL around and when I opened a ticket (this is before I knew about the hashgenerator.php), they shot me down because they claimed they don't support PHP 7 or NGINX. Yet my issue had nothing to do with either of those and I was left to figure it out on my own. Edited January 7, 2016 by Brian K.
JEFF MACK Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 So not sure what I am doing wrong. I downloaded the file, etc but yet this doesn't seem to work... The API endpoint is not giving the expected response. Check you followed the instructions correctly. The URL being tested is: /api/core/hello

On my production server it works as expected and I'm pretty much using the same config except that the test install uses a auth_basic on the whole site... (this could be the issue!) The following is the path that IPS is trying to access according to the NGINX logs.
