WordPress on Ubuntu – “File not Found” for home.php – Trying to Redirect to Root Folder
Question
I recently did a one-click installation on a Ubuntu server set up via Vultr. There is a PHP URL path (site.com/home.php) that I want to 301 redirect to the root folder (site.com/) but nothing has worked so far. Here are a few things I tried…
Set up .htacess file with mod rewrite rule (seems to ignore this)
Looked into nginx config files. I have three.
cockpit.conf
wordpress_http.conf
wordpress_https.conf
I tried updating a few things based on other threads but nothing worked (I’m a beginner with server configurations so I might have done the wrong thing too). The content of each config file is:
cockpit.conf
server {
listen 9080 ssl;
server_name _;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;
# set max upload size
client_max_body_size 2G;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4K;
access_log /var/log/nginx/cockpit_access.log combined;
error_log /var/log/nginx/cockpit_error.log;
server_tokens off;
location / {
# Required to proxy the connection to Cockpit
proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:9090;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Required for web sockets to function
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
# Pass ETag header from Cockpit to clients.
# See: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/5239
gzip off;
}
}
