搜索功能可以在localhost上正常运行，但不能在VPS中运行

Question

I have this search function in my laravel website, its working fine in my localhost. But when I deployed it in vultr vps using git hook, the search function is not working properly.

When i click the search button in localhost, it will produce a url of like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/search?query=test&location=&keywords=&_token=I5BDCrqHtdwvsSwrHTrdAAGYfdukPCgU3OAGDySw

but when in the deploy server nothing happens, it just do some postback load.

SearchController.php

public function getSearch(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'query' => 'required_without_all:keywords,location',
        ], ['query.required_without_all' => 'Please fill atleast one field.']

    );

    $query = $request['query'];
    $location = $request['location'];
    $keywords = $request['keywords'];

    if (isset($location) && isset($query) && $keywords) {
        $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->where('title', 'like', '%' . $query . '%')->where('location', 'like', $location)->where('body', 'like', $keywords)->paginate(5);
    }
    .......
    else {
        $query = '';
        $location = '';
        $posts = Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->where('location', 'like', $location)->paginate(5);
    }

    return view('includes.search-index', ['posts' => $posts]);      
}

routes/web.php

Route::get('/search', [
    'uses' => 'SearchController@getSearch',
    'as' => 'search'
]);

search.blade.php

<form action="{{ route('search') }}" method="get" >
    .....
</form>

Any idea? It seems that the request is not passing? Because I got an empty request?

Answer 1

Check what link is created in form action. If you have localhost in your .env or config possible that route create incorrect link. Otherwise look at your server logs.

You can debug also in your controller. As first does it run, in next steps where the problem is.

Answer 2

I have an error in my nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file.

location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?query_string;
}

and it should be

location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
