laravel not working in nginx as alias - laravel

Question

i have a nginx webserver and i want to run multiple laravel projects on it
first project is working fine but second project only opens home and home page address is
example.com/secondproject/
but when i want to open
example.com/secondproject/foo
nginx would skip /secondproject alias and looks for requested route in first project (root of server in nginx config)
this is my config
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
rewrite_log on;
location / {
root /path/to/first-project/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
}
}
location /secondproject {
alias /path/to/second-project/public;
index index.php;
location /secondproject {
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
}
}
}
and when i replace
root /path/to/second-project/public;
instead of
alias /path/to/second-project/public;
nginx shows 403!

try like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
location / {
root /path/to/first-project/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
}
}
# ------- second
location /secondproject {
root /path/to/second-project/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
}
}
}
