Installing Nginx With PHP5 (And PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Ubuntu 10.10

[SamTzu]

There seems to be something wrong/missing with the nginx configuration file.
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

First page of the Joomla site works fine but all the other pages get
404 Not Found

Looks like it's a SEO issue. I'm wondering if anyone has a working solution for Joomla's Apache mod_rewrite or .htaccess settings?

Almost solved it.

With this nginx config I can have nearly the same functionality than with apache mod_rewrite and .htaccess combination. (+Joomla SEO)

Problem is some components that use 'home' directory feel it is in the wrong place...

The home directory doesn't exist, check your settings. (/usr/local/nginx/html)

Here is the nginx config.

server {

listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
large_client_header_buffers 4 8k;
server_name _;

access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html;
}


#error_page 404 /404.html;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /400.html;
location = /400.html {
root /var/www/error;
}

# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
#proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}

I can't find that home path defined anywhere.
Maybe it's nginx default?

Edit: Looks like this was DNS issue. Forget it...


My excursion with nginx has run in to a new difficulty.
So far we have redirected many sites that come with different domain names (.org .net .info etc.) to the main domain site by using ISPConfig's site/option page's handy apache form.

It seems though that if traffic is redirected to a nginx server this will stop working.

hmm... How to overcome the problem?

This is the type of code we have been using to do the redirecting...

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^internet-palvelut.fi$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.internet-content.net/fi/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.internet-palvelut.fi$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.internet-content.net/fi/$1 [L,R=301]

Actually my config above works quite well with Joomla SEO. Only thing still unclear is how to define the 'home' directory that nginx seems to look for.
