API links broken in reverse-proxy nginx variant

[ivdok]

Describe Your Environment

• ZoneMinder v1.34.20 (TurnKey Linux appliance)

Describe the bug Redirection loops occurs when using Nginx in front of Apache + ZoneMinder, when setting up according to zmNinja author's instructions - they are meant for situation when Nginx is the main web server, and not a reverse proxy like in my case.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use this config
2. Open https://zm.example.com/zm/api/host/getversion.json in browser and witness 500 Internal Server Error.
3. See following in Nginx logs:

2020/09/10 03:40:39 [error] 47382#47382: *1 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while processing "/zm/api/index.php", client: 95.79.x.x, server: zm.example.com, request: "GET /zm/api/host/getVersion.json HTTP/2.0", host: "zm.example.com"

Expected behavior Working API for zmNinja and SurveillancePro

Debug Logs Unapplicable here.

The problem here is that the index.php is trying to be procecssed by nginx. You can use this config to fix it. The ^~ makes the /zm location take precedence over the php declaration

        # ZONEMINDER
        location _^~ /zm_ {
            proxy_pass http://zmserver.localdomain:8180/zm;
            proxy_connect_timeout    300;
            proxy_send_timeout       300;
            proxy_read_timeout       300;
            send_timeout                     300;
	    proxy_http_version 1.1;             
            proxy_buffering off; # Needed for FIFO raw mode. 

        }

This is working well for me.
