POS Nginx Virtual Host Configuration

In case you use Nginx web server you need to modify the virtual host of your domain and add this additional section:

## PHP entry point for POS application
location ~* ^/pos($|/) {
    location ~ ^/pos/index.php {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/update/index.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass fastcgi_backend;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        include fastcgi_params;
   }
}

before this one:

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

Don't forget to save the changes and restart Nginx by running the command:

sudo service nginx restart

Once you install the POS system, check the configuration guide to create store locations, terminals, and cashiers and find the POS frontend via mydomain.com/pos/.
