Hi ..i’ve followed he tutorial exactly but i cant open http://my-ip/info.php. what do you mean by:

On the line fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/nginx-default$fastcgi_script_name;, you need to change /var/www/nginx-default to match your web root.

Sorry guys… didn’t reach the page with the comments on it, and only when I posted I saw the already-existing thread…

The Jams D Kirk command solved my problem too!

Thanks a lot for the precious how-to,
Mac.

Hello there!

Awesome tutorial: you achieved exactly what I would like to… but I got a problem I can’t manage to work around, maybe you can give me some hint?

I am running RC of 9.10 and I followed the instructions to the letter, nginx works just fine (html files are properly managed), but I am struggling with the php part. Indeed all that I can achieve is to get a “502 Bad Gateway” error anytime I try to reach an index.php file (http://localhost or http://localhost/index.php give the same result).

In other forums I read about checking if php is running with “ps ax | grep php”. It seems to me that might be the problem then, as the result is “2986 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep php”.

I tried to manually fire up php via “/etc/init.d/php-fastcgi start”, but even after that (the console does not report any error) the above mentioned ps/grep combintation does not report any php process running.

Is there anything I am missing in the picture? Any help or pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your time,
Mac.

I’m considering trying something like this. I’ve heard you can get much better performance if you use php-fpm. Have you tried it?

nice Chris .. how’s it running?

one thing that kinda puts me off this method is that there’s no long term support with Jaunty. why did you go with that and not Heron LTS, out of interest?

you may be interested to take a look at my method, which is very different, configured really to host multi sites. also, it has fastCGI working without the Lighty workaround .. well, that is to say, using different workarounds

would be splendid to compare notes. also, have you by any chance done any benchmarking?

Thanks James D Kirk!

I had the same prob and added your command to /etc/rc.local and all runs perfectly

Good tutorial!
