Nginx Yii2 configuration in different folders

Question

I faced with problem in configuring nginx server for yii2 basic app.

Here is my service block file :

server {
    listen       80 ;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access-server.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error-server.log;

    charset utf-8;

    location  /fetch {
            root /usr/share/nginx/html/another_folder/web/;
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

         location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

}

My project located in another folder "another_folder". And i want that when user goes to url : http://ip/fetch files nginx will serve files from another folder.

My error log file returns me :

2017/02/11 12:38:52 [error] 4242#0: *12 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /usr/share/nginx/html/index.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream

And brother shows : No input file specified.

Can you give help me with this issue?

Thank you!

Further to your comment, any URI beginning with /fetch that does not match a static file within the aliased path, should be redirected to /fetch/index.php.

location ^~ /fetch {
    alias /usr/share/nginx/html/another_folder/web;

    if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^ /fetch/index.php last; }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; }

        include        fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
}

We avoid using try_files with alias because of this long term issue.

See this caution regarding the use of if.
