Hi there,

Good that you got it working for you.

In stock nginx.conf? Not, not as as block.

In general, you can store it in a separate file and "include" it.

Or in general, you can use your favourite macro processor and write your
own pre-nginx.conf file which does whatever substitution you want to
create your active nginx.conf.

But in this specific case...

All of those things could probably go into your /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params,
which you include anyway below.

That should stay within the location.

That can be removed, as it does nothing useful here. (It says: if the
request ends in /, then use the index.php file. But it is in a location{}
where the request must end in p.)

In fact, you could possibly have all of the fastcgi_param stuff written
once, at server{} level, so that your repeated content is just

  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock;
  }

with maybe an "include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;" in there too.

By the time it is 3 or 4 lines, (or just 1, since the newlines above
are optional) it is possibly worth just copying the content instead of
copying an "include" line.

It's not the (general) answer that you want, but it might be enough
for now.

Cheers,
