Hi all, I have installed the nginx inEasyApache and enabled for some domain, but now I am getting an error. 404 for robots.txt and if i rename the file in rrobots.txt (with 2 r or other name) the new file can be accessed. Any ideas?

  Hey there! I'm not familiar with anything in nginx that would keep that file from being read normally. If you temporarily move/rename the .htaccess file as a test, does the file work properly?

  We did run into an issue last month where the favicon files were not being handled properly through nginx. If you are signed in to our ticket system you can see this article:

  I just bumped in the same issue. The problem is in /etc/nginx/conf.d/server-includes/cpanel-static-locations.conf file, which is included for every vhost. It's using specific location matches, so it never goes the default "location /" to proxy to apache, so it ends up looking for the files (both /favicon.ico and /robots.txt) in the default document root. Quick and dirty fix - comment out the sections for both /favicon.ico and /robots.txt in /etc/nginx/conf.d/server-includes/cpanel-static-locations.conf.

  Packages under EasyApache don't get assigned to a specific cPanel version as they are independent of the major release tier. Every package since ea-nginx-1.21.0-3.3.1 would have this fix applied. I checked my personal server just now and that is running ea-nginx-1.21.6-12.12.1
