Azure AppService Process .HTML files as .PHP

Question

We have an App Service under Azure Gov Cloud set up as PHP 8.2. We need to process all .html AND .php files through PHP - I have tried various solutions and none of them seem to work.

Anyone have a solution?

We have set the PHP_EXTENSIONS value to "html" per one suggestion, etc.

Answer 1

I had to create a startup script on azure:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Replacing nginx configuration for serving PHP 8.0-based applications"
cp /home/site/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

echo "Reloading nginx to apply new configuration"
service nginx reload

Then in the default.conf file I added:

server {
    #proxy_cache cache;
    #proxy_cache_valid 200 1s;
    listen 8080;
    listen [::]:8080;
    root /home/site/wwwroot;
    index  index.php;
    server_name  testwebsite.azurewebsites.net  www.testwebsite.azurewebsites.net; 

 
        charset utf-8;
        source_charset utf-8;


    default_type text/html;

    location ~ \.PHP$ {
        deny all;
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
    }


    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @ext;
    }

    location ~ \/\.php {
        rewrite "^(.*)\/.php" $1.php last;
    }

    location @ext {
        rewrite "^(.*)$" $1.php;
    }

    error_page  403 404  /error.php;


    location ~ \.php$ {

        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
        include fastcgi_params;
