If you are deploying your application to a server that is running Nginx, you may use the following configuration rules as a starting point for configuring your web server, just replace /srv/www/example.com with path to your site directory.


Important:

Make sure to point root to "public" subfolder and not main folder where files are uploaded, otherwise site will not work properly.


Rules

    listen 80 default_server;

    server_name example.com www.example.com;

    access_log /srv/www/example.com/logs/access.log;
