You can use phpIPAM on Nginx webserver with php-fpm, below is a code snippet for nginx setup. From version 1.3.2 on url rewriting was simplified, so please check your phpipam version and use correct code snippet for nxing configuration.

1.) phpIPAM version 1.3.2 and higher

If you are using phpIPAM version 1.3.2 or higher please use below snippet to configure your nginx server. We assume phpipam will be on separate subfolder on webserver, e.g. http://hostname/phpipam/, if not adjust settings accordingly.

server {
    # root directory
    root   /var/www/;

    # phpipam
    location /phpipam/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /phpipam/index.php;
        index index.php;
    }
    # phpipam - api
    location /phpipam/api/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /phpipam/api/index.php;
    }

    # php-fpm
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        try_files      $uri $uri/ index.php = 404;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }
 }

2.) phpIPAM up to version 1.3.1

For older phpIPAM versions please use below snippet. Again we assume phpipam will be on separate subfolder on webserver.

server {
    # root directory
    root   /var/www/;

    # phpipam
    location /phpipam/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        index index.php;

        error_page 500 /app/error/index.php;
        error_page 404 /app/error/index.php;
        error_page 403 /app/error/index.php;

        rewrite ^/phpipam/login/dashboard/?$ /phpipam/dashboard/ redirect;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/logout/dashboard/?$ /phpipam/dashboard/ redirect;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/tools/search/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([^/]+)$ /phpipam/index.php?page=tools&section=search&addresses=$1&subnets=$2&vlans=$3&vrf=$4&ip=$5 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/tools/search/(.*) /phpipam/index.php?page=tools&section=search&ip=$1 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1&section=$2&subnetId=$3&sPage=$4&ipaddrid=$5&tab=$6 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1&section=$2&subnetId=$3&sPage=$4&ipaddrid=$5 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1&section=$2&subnetId=$3&sPage=$4 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/(.*)/(.*)/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1&section=$2&subnetId=$3 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/(.*)/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1&section=$2 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/([^/]+)/? /phpipam/index.php?page=$1 last;
    }
    # phpipam - api
    location /phpipam/api {
        rewrite ^/phpipam/api/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /phpipam/api/index.php?app_id=$1&controller=$2&id=$3&id2=$4&id3=$5 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/api/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /phpipam/api/index.php?app_id=$1&controller=$2&id=$3&id2=$4 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/api/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /phpipam/api/index.php?app_id=$1&controller=$2&id=$3 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/api/(.*)/(.*) /phpipam/api/index.php?app_id=$1&controller=$2 last;
        rewrite ^/phpipam/api/(.*) /phpipam/api/index.php?app_id=$1 last;
    }
    location /phpipam/css {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
    location /phpipam/js {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    # php-fpm
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        try_files      $uri $uri/ index.php = 404;
        include        fastcgi_params;
    }
 }
