Ubuntu 18.04 Laravel 5.7 nginx 1.14 Laravel routes not working

Question

I recently moved my server from apache to nginx, when using apache i had a working site using the Laravel framework.

For some reason no pages other than the base index page just return a 404 error. I am sure it has something to do with my nginx config. My currently config is shown below.

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name munkeemagic.munkeejuice.co.uk;

    root /var/www/html/munkeemagic/mtg-webby/mtg/public;
    index index.php index.html;

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

    location ~* \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

I have checked to make sure that all the file permissions are set for user www-data which is the user nginx is using. I have even tried changing

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

to

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

but that has not had any impact and i still see the same issue.

So basically with this config if i navigate to http://munkeemagic.munkeejuice.co.uk then the page displays

if i go to http://munkeemagic.munkeejuice.co.uk/login i get a 404 error.

Does anyone have any idea what i may be doing wrong ?

After following user3647971's advice i have modified the config as follows :

server {
listen 80;

server_name munkeemagic.munkeejuice.co.uk;

root /var/www/html/munkeemagic/mtg-webby/mtg/public;

add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

index index.php index.html;

charset utf-8;

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

location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

error_page 404 /index.php;

location ~* \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
    deny all;
}
}

I have restarted nginx to take the changes and have also cleared the routes cache, but unfortunately i still have the same problem.

Answer 1

Ok figured out the problem, tbh i was a bit stupid. My default configuration was overriding my website specific config. I unlinked the default config restarted nginx and everything started to work correctly.
