Joomla Standart Nginx 404 page on url's with *.htm

When you create a new nginx vhost domain via centmin.sh menu option 2 or menu option 22 or via /usr/bin/nv cli command line, you will create the Nginx vhost files and directories. You will get an outputted the path location where it will create the domain name's vhost conf file named newdomain.com.conf (and newdomain.com.ssl.conf if you selected yes to self signed SSL)

• Nginx vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
• Nginx HTTP/2 SSL vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf
• Nginx Self-Signed SSL Certificate Directory at /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/newdomain.com
• Vhost public web root will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public
• Vhost log directory will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log

Please post the contents of /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf and if applicable /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.ssl.conf wrapped in CODE tags (outlined at How to use forum BBCODE code tags)

Are using in your domain's vhost config file Nginx rewrite rules which have urls/links with .html or .html extensions ?

Centmin Mod default static files include file at /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf handles .html files via Nginx. But by using wordpress with .html extensions you tell Nginx not to serve .html files and serve via PHP-FPM (not ideal as it reduces performance if you use permalinks with .html extensions and thus use PHP-FPM to server .html files)

If you must use .html extension permalinks, you need to comment out the .html location context from /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf and restart Nginx server as illustrated below with hash # in front

Code:

    location ~* \.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ {
        gzip_static off;
        #add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        break;
        }

    location ~* \.(js)$ {
        #add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        break;
        }

    location ~* \.(css)$ {
        #add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        break;
        }

    #location ~* \.(html|htm|txt)$ {
        #add_header Pragma public;
        #add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        #access_log off;
        #expires 1d;
       # break;
       # }

    location ~* \.(eot|svg|ttf|woff)$ {
        #add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        break;
        }

You can also use SSH command shortcut below to launch nano linux text editor and edit file /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf

Code:

statfilesinc

latest centmin mod 123.09beta01 should have commented out and disabled the .html location match now, but 123.08stable and older 123.09beta01's might still have it enabled.
