Rubén, Crystal, & Stuart--
Your responses helped me figure it out.
In particular, Stuart, you were right. My problem was having an absolute
symlink from /var/www/pixelfed/public/storage ->
/var/www/pixelfed/storage/app/public.
Making this a relative symlink (i.e., cd /var/www/pixelfed/public && ln -s
../storage/app/public storage) did the trick.
For posterity's sake, my working /etc/httpd.conf is below:
server "www.domain.com"
listen on * tls port 443
# acme-challenge TLS location
location "/.well-known/acme-challenge/*" {
root "/acme"
request strip 2
}
# enable HTTP Strict Transport Security
hsts {
preload
subdomains
max-age 15768000
}
tls {
certificate "/etc/ssl/domain.com.fullchain.pem"
key "/etc/ssl/private/domain.com.key"
}
# set logs
log {
access "pixelfed-access.log"
error "pixelfed-error.log"
}
# set max upload size to 1G (in bytes)
connection max request body 1048576000
connection max requests 1000
connection request timeout 3600
connection timeout 3600
root "/pixelfed/public"
directory index "index.php"
# works roughly like the `try_files` line of an nginx config
location not found "*" {
request rewrite "/index.php?$QUERY_STRING"
fastcgi socket "/run/php-fpm.sock"
}
location "/*.php" {
fastcgi socket "/run/php-fpm.sock"
}
}
