nginx“拒绝访问脚本'xxx / xxx / php'（请参阅security.limit_extensions）”

I got this error. Obviously I want to use ckfinder for file upload.

Access to the script '/var/www/example.com/public/admin/scripts/vendor/ckfinder
/core/connector/php' has been denied (see security.limit_extensions) while reading 
response header from upstream, client: x.x.x.x, server: 
example.com, request: "GET /admin/scripts/vendor/ckfinder/core/
connector/php/connector.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", 
host: "example.com"

I already set security.limit_extensions to .php. I've looked at Access denied (403) for PHP files with Nginx + PHP-FPM and I tried most of them (except the fix_pathinfo) with no luck. Until I notice the script path in the error message, the GET request from connector.php is in the php/ directory. I think the problem is nginx sees this directory name as script and tries to run it, not sure.

This is my nginx server block.

    listen 80;

    index index.html index.htm index.php app.php app_dev.php;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

}

My question is how to instruct nginx to know that php/ is a path, not a script?

You have error in fastcgi_split_path_info directive. Regular expression .+.php will match these strings: at least 1 character, then any character, then text "php".

You need to escape the dot (\.), so it doesn't mean any character, but only the dot itself.

So the correct syntax should be:

  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
