I'm trying to move a CakePHP application from PHP 7.4 to Azure App Service using PHP 8.1. I'm having trouble figuring out the nginx configuration required to make it work.

I took a basic nginx configuration, added changes from the CakePHP book, and injected the configuration file during startup (cp /home/default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default).

I keep getting 404 errors except for the root page. On the index page, layout issues can also occur as these links also return 404s.

server {
    #proxy_cache cache;
        #proxy_cache_valid 200 1s;
    lis ten 8080;
    lis ten [::]:8080;
    #root /home/site/wwwroot;
    root /home/site/wwwroot/webroot;
    #index  index.php index.html index.htm;
    index  index.php;
    server_name  example.com www.example.com; 
    port_in_redirect off;

    #location / {            
    #    index  index.php index.html index.htm hostingstart.html;
    #}

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /html/;
    }
    
    # Disable .git directory
    location ~ /.git {
        deny all;
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
    }
