Ubuntu 11.10 & nginx configuration

[nikal]

Hello , noob here!

I am setting up my first server folowing this 2 howto's first and second

i do own a domain name (who serves my wordpress in an ISP)and i want my brand new nginx server (an old pc somewhere in my home) as a owncloud service .

I went to my domains cp and add a new DNS record , let's say server.mydomain.com with the right static ip of my router .
then i open the right ports to the router 80&22 (ssh)
and finished my owncloud setup like here

But im getting a 502 bad gateway error
My problem I quess is in my vhost configuration (noob here )
because i use a subdomain !
I try some configurations but i have to admit i don't understund them!
for examble i use

server {
listen server.mydomain.com;
server_name server.mydomain.com;
root /var/www/server.mydomain.com/web;

if ($http_host != "server.mydomain.com") {
rewrite ^ http://server.mydomain.com$request_uri permanent;
}

configuration and i get "Welcome to nginx!" and the info.php works under server.mydomain.com/info.php but the owncloud instalation not!
when i change the listen to 80 i get 502 bad gateway

can someone point me (or better show me) the right configuration?

Thanks

Please restart PHP-FPM:

/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

Thank you Falco for your answer but i all ready did that every time i change my vhost configuration .Also reload nginx , clear browser cache but the resault is the same .

I try all the possible configuration i find on nginx foroum and wiki but nothing seems to work for me .

I am pretty sure i miss something in that vhost but as I say i am new in all that stuff so the 3 day heading is normal for a newbee like me

Can you post your vhost configuration and the output of

netstat -tapn

?

[nikal]

Hello again Falco and thank you for your reply!

The netstat -ntap

tcp		0	0	127.0.0.1:3306	0.0.0.0:*	LISTEN		667/mysqld
tcp		0	0	0.0.0.0:80	0.0.0.0:*	LISTEN		717/nginx
tcp		0	0	0.0.0.0:22	0.0.0.0:*	LISTEN		447/sshd
tcp		0	0	0.0.0.0:25	0.0.0.0:*	LISTEN		847/master
tcp6		0	0	:::22		:::*		LISTEN		447/sshd

and the vhost config

server {
       listen 80;
       server_name server.mydomain.com;
       root /var/www/server.mydomain.com/web;

       if ($http_host != "server.mydomain.com") {
                 rewrite ^ http://server.mydomain.com$request_uri permanent;
       }

       # This is to avoid a "Request Entity Too Large" error
       client_max_body_size 1000M;
       index index.php index.html index.htm;

       location = /favicon.ico {

                access_log off;
                expires max;
       }

       location = /robots.txt {
                allow all;
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
       }

       # Deny all attempts to access hidden files such as .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
       location ~ /\. {
                deny all;
                access_log off;
                log_not_found off;
       }

       location / {
                index index.php;
                try_files $uri $uri/ @webdav;
       }

       location @webdav {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                #fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       }

       location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
       }
}

I maybe did something wrong today! I rm the default config under /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ . Is that bad? and if it is wrong can you paste here the default config so i can make a new file?

Also I notice that there is no php5-cgi pid in my netstat -ntap is that my problem? The php5-fpm don't start?

edit: Now I saw that you wanted netstat -tapn !! sorry!!

the only diference is the

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1:51587 TIME_WAIT -

[nikal]

Hi again ,

There's no PHP-FPM daemon listening on port 9000, so make sure it is running and uses TCP instead of Unix sockets.

[nikal]

Thanks again ,

I am not sure how to do that

can you please guide me !

[nikal]

Ok here I am again , I managed to make the php daemon to work so my netstat -tapn
shows

tcp      0        0    127.0.0.1:9000     0.0.0.0:*      LISTEN     4606/php-fpm.conf

(changed the listen to 127.0.0.1:9000 under /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf)

changed the fastcgi_pass to 127.0.0.1:9000; in my vhost
restart php5-fpm
reload nginx

and nothing happends again

I supose the answer is in front off my eyes and I don't see it !

[nikal]

Ok good news I just reboot the pc and voila !!

one more owncloud instalation (and nginx) on the net!!

Thank you so mutch for the greats howtos and for your help!
