[Bug]: Herd can't open files (Kirby CMS)

[Werbschaft]

Operating system version

macOS Sonoma 14.0

System architecture

ARM64 (M1, M2, etc)

Herd Version

1.4.0 Build 20

PHP Version

PHP 8.3

Bug description

I have a lot of PHP files that dynamically output content but with a different header. Example template.css.php

<?php header('Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8'); ?>
/* Dynamic generated CSS */

However, this does not work with Laravel Herd. It works with Mamp Pro and also on every server. Only Herd gives me a 404 status. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I would like to switch from Mamp Pro to Laravel Herd.

Steps to reproduce

No response

Relevant log output

No response

Which error do you get?

[Werbschaft]

That's the strange thing, I only get a 404 error back. Error logs are empty. I somehow can't explain this.

Are you using any framework? You might need to take a look at Herds drivers in order to properly serve your site: https://herd.laravel.com/docs/1/extending-herd/custom-drivers

[Werbschaft]

Yes, I use Kirby CMS. But already asked there in the Forum and they got no solution

[mpociot]

Do you have an example repo that I can reproduce this?

Sorry for the delay. I created a repo. It's a fork of the original Kirby Starterkit, the only difference is one CSS File, located in assets/css/dynamic.css.php. But this file won't load.

The original Starterkit works like in this Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb_-bo77IPc

My guess is that this is related to the underlying Laravel Valet component that Herd also uses. Both are using this driver to serve Kirby: https://github.com/laravel/valet/blob/master/cli/Valet/Drivers/Specific/KirbyValetDriver.php.

This driver is also by maintained by 3rd party developers, likely from the Kirby community, so I'd address this problem in their community so that they can fix the driver in Valet and eventually we can do that in Herd as well.

We don't have Kirby experience and rely on others to provide a driver that supports this and so it's not a Herd issue that we can fix.

nginx error for future reference:

2024/02/16 11:40:16 [error] 19811#10597866: *6 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: kirby-css.test, request: "GET /assets/css/dynamic.css.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/Users/seb/Library/Application Support/Herd/herd82.sock:", host: "kirby-css.test", referrer: "http://kirby-css.test/"

Thanks so much. I will ask the Kirby Community for help

Solution is found, Kirby Valet Driver has a new PR: laravel/valet#1471

Fixed in Herd 1.4.2
