Nginx – Prestashop 1.7 too many redirects on frontend shop

nginxPHPphp-fpmphp7

I keep getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when trying to navigate to the frontend shop of a Prestashop 1.7 site. However it is fine when going to the admin backend.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Site is running with Nginx, PHP-FPM7, MariaDB.

Nginx config file below:

Best Answer

One problem here is this block:

location / {
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/.*$ /index.php last;
    }
}

One should use this instead:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

And then for your admin:

location /admin/ {                           #Change this to your admin folder
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/.*$ /admin/index.php last; #Change this to your admin folder
    }
}

You can use this:

location /admin/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /admin/index.php;
}

However, these changes might not solve your issue.
