Sendy + PHP7 + nginx: How I got it to work

mpalokaj

Hello all,

Thought I'd post this here for those who are struggling.

First off, sendy is 100% php7 compatible. However it relies on some modules that are not included by default. You might initially get some 500 errors, or redirects to the logged out page.

PHP7 modules:

apt-get install -y php7.0-curl php7.0-xml
phpenmod curl
phpenmod xml
phpenmod xmlreader
phpenmod simplexml
service php7.0-fpm restart

Also don't forget your crontab of course.

Nginx config (this is in a subfolder)

location /sendy/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.php?$args;
}


location /sendy/l/ {
    rewrite ^/sendy/l/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$ /sendy/l.php?i=$1 last;
}

location /sendy/t/ {
    rewrite ^/sendy/t/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$ /sendy/t.php?i=$1 last;
}

location /sendy/w/ {
    rewrite ^/sendy/w/([a-zA-Z0-9/]+)$ /sendy/w.php?i=$1 last;
}

location /sendy/unsubscribe/ {
    rewrite ^/sendy/unsubscribe/(.*)$ /sendy/unsubscribe.php?i=$1 last;
}

location /sendy/subscribe/ {
    rewrite ^/sendy/subscribe/(.*)$ /sendy/subscribe.php?i=$1 last;
}

location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
    access_log off;
    log_not_found off;
}

# Endsendy
