I am having a difficult time finding a solution for this.

I have PHP applications that may be referenced to from several websites, either from root locations or sub locations.

For example:

server {
server_name domain.com;
location / {
.... unrelated stuff ...
}
location /grant {
root /apps/grant/;
index index.php index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /grant/index.php?$args;

location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/local/sockets/grant.sock;
}
}
}

and then it may be somewhere else like this:

server {
server_name another-domain.com;
location / {
.... unrelated stuff ...
}
location /employ {
root /apps/grant/;
index index.php index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /employ/index.php?$args;

location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/local/sockets/grant.sock;
}
}
}

So the only two things different are the "location" and "try_files". However, I know that "root" will append the URI to the path, so it will try /apps/grant/grant/ and /apps/grant/employ/ when looking for files. When I use "alias", it seems that try_files tries looking for index.php in the context of "location /" on each.

The only way I can seem to resolve this is by creating a symbolic link at /apps/grant/grant/ and /apps/grant/employ/ pointing back to /apps/rant/, which I do not want. I just want each location in each server to see /apps/grant/ as the root, and for try_files to process the index.php file in the base of that location last.

I have Lua compiled in, so I'm not sure if there are any tricks I can do with that to get this to work. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Can someone provide some guidance?
