Hi everyone ! This is my **first time** on this forum but i really need some help. Moreover, my english is not very good, i’ll do my best :). So, i want to have Passbolt in a **subfolder** of my web server like [http://localhost/passbolt/](http://localhost/passbolt/). Because now, i need to have another web site. However, i do my best in order to fine a solution but it doesn’t work… I know, in the official documentation they say : " **Note:** the configuration does not support serving passbolt on a subdirectory fashion. For example, scenarios like [https://mydomain.com/passbolt](https://mydomain.com/passbolt) are not supported by default" How can i activate this feature? I tried to modify this file : “/etc/passbolt/passbolt.default.php”, with ‘base’ =\> ‘/passbolt’. It didn’t work. I tried to play with my location in “/etc/nginx/sites-available/default” but no success too… Can i have some help, cause i really need that. Best regard. ---

Hi @MrPass This normally can be handled by the web server, so you’re on the right track. You are using NGINX, so this might help: [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-nginx-server-and-location-block-selection-algorithms](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-nginx-server-and-location-block-selection-algorithms) It also would be wise to make the other site you have on the server also serve from a unique, established path so there is no confusion. Paths (subfolders) are useful when you have control over the call to the server. Otherwise, you might want to go with a subdomain approach instead. ---

First, thanks for your answer ! This is very helpful. However, i have another problem now… Phpinfo page work at the /, so PHP-FPM is running and the configuration is good. At the /passbolt path, the PHP code is not executed but downloaded… I know that is a problem from PHP-FPM but i don’t know what i am doing wrong. Mostly, it works on my root… I’ve made some search on the web but nothing works for me. So, can i have help on this part too? Cheers ---

@MrPass Can you provide your NGINX configuration? And maybe now there are errors in the logs? Found: /var/log/nginx/\* ---

I’ve found a solution, after few days of searching ! Thanks for your help, i understand how it work the server block and location in NGINX. First, i will reinstall by sources because the package configure nginx automatically. Cause, with the package, when i try to modify passbolt.default.php, this configuration was not loaded. So, by sources, i can modify this configuration before that nginx was configured. I’ve modified this file : “/etc/passbolt/passbolt.default.php”, with ‘base’ =\> ‘/passbolt’. Then i run the install script. After that, i’ve deleted the nginx-passbolt.default.conf in /var/www/nginx/sites-enabled/ and i put this conf in the default configuration in /var/www/nginx/sites-enabled/: ```auto [...] location ^~ /passbolt { alias /var/www/passbolt/webroot; try_files $uri $uri/ @passbolt; location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } } location @passbolt { rewrite /passbolt/(.*)$ /passbolt/index.php?/$1 last; } [...] ``` And, now I can access to my Passbolt by [http://localhost/passbolt](http://localhost/passbolt) ! Hope that can help someone else. Regards ! 🙂 ---
