How to run django and wordpress with nginx - django

Question

I'm having problem with configuring my nginx.conf file to run django server on main domain and a WordPress site on domain.com/blog.
This is my configuration file which my WordPress dir is
/var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/:
upstream Main_Project_server {
server unix:/home/amirfarsad/django_env/run/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name 2n9l.s.serverhost.name;
client_max_body_size 4G;
access_log /home/amirfarsad/logs/nginx-access.log;
error_log /home/amirfarsad/logs/nginx-error.log;
location /static/ {
alias /home/amirfarsad/Main_Project/static/;
}
location /media/ {
alias /home/amirfarsad/Main_Project/media/;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://Main_Project_server;
break;
}
}
location /blog/ {
root /var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri =404;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
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;
root /var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/;
}
}
My django site works well but when I go to domain.com/blog, it gives me a 404 not found nginx page.

Try changing your bottom location block
location ^~ /blog {
root /var/www/varzesh-kon/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
Explanation:
In case of the root directive, full path is appended to the root including the location part
In your case:
location /blog/ {
root /var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/;
The final path that nginx will derive is going to be:
/var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/blog
That's why its showing you 404 not found page
Solution:
Either use alias instead of root
or change root path to /var/www/varzesh-kon/
location /blog/ {
root /var/www/varzesh-kon/;
...
}
location /blog/ {
alias /var/www/varzesh-kon/blog/;
...
}
