Nginx can't read images

Server NGINX
1

Hi,
So it seems that mginx can’t read a url with .png, for example
http://20.16.31.42/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png
that gives me a page not found. The ip address above has been changed
(not the original one), it’sjust to give illustration. I checked that
the file logo_right.png is in fact in that folder. What do I need to do
to solve this?

What permissions do you have set on the folder? And how are you
directing requests to the folder? Can you show us ur config?

Is it also possible to change my php directive to:
location ~ .php$ { root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME html$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params; }
?? Will it do the same?

nginx usually does exactly what you tell it to. In this case…

http://20.16.31.42/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png
that gives me a page not found. The ip address above has been changed (not the
original one), it’sjust to give illustration. I checked that the file

…what folder is the file logo_right.png in?

Your config tells nginx to look for

/usr/local/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png

but your config also suggests that you wanted to tell nginx to look for

/usr/share/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png

Each (sub)request in nginx in handled by one location{} block, so you
must make sure that the correct config is in the location block that is
used for this specific request. Your location{} for .png urls uses the
compile-time document root value.

If this server is new, and not used for other files or services, then
the best change is probably to remove all “root” directives from your
nginx.conf, and add a single “root /usr/share/nginx/html;” outside all
location{}s, just after “server_name localhost;”

Otherwise, you should probably add a “location /phpMyAdmin/ {}” which
contains other location{}s for the new urls you care about.

Note also that the distributed phpMyAdmin includes a few .htaccess files
to attempt to limit access to some files. There’s nothing in your config
to mimic that, so unless you’ve taken other steps, you may be exposing
more that the phpMyAdmin developers consider wise.

Good luck with it,

The folder should have read access… I don’t know what you mean by
redirecting requests to folder. I just noticed that it can’t also read
css, js, and png, jpg!!
Here’s my error log:
