Ez vs NginX howto

Friday 17 April 2009 4:08:02 am

It should be because of rewrite rules used in nginx. In this post there are some references to nginx and lighttpd: http://ez.no/developer/forum/suggestions/memcache (but no reference how the rewrite rules should be in nginx...)

I also check nginx documentation, mailing list or google for possible solutions: I found this blog post about converting .htaccess rewrite rules to nginx configuration: http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/nginx-hacking-tips/

And here's one that is fine for non-vhost setups:

### eZ Publish non-vhost config for Nginx + php fastcgi
###
### to make it work, set in settings/override/site.ini.append.php :
### [SiteAccessSettings]
### ForceVirtualHost=true
### MatchOrder=uri
###
### the resulting url will be http://server.name/siteaccess

server {
        listen             80;

        ### change these 3 lines for your local install ###
        server_name        localhost;
        set $ezp_root      /var/www/ezpublish;
        set $fastcgi_port  10000;

        root   $ezp_root;
        index  index.php;

        # all things matched by a regexp below will not be matched here
        # and thus tunnelled into index.php
        location / {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 last;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:$fastcgi_port;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $ezp_root/index.php;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        # treemenu takes advantage of a specialized controller
        location ~ ^/content/treemenu {
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:$fastcgi_port;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $ezp_root/index_treemenu.php;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        # serve all images/css/js/ico/... directly
        # nb: for extra precision we might want to match based on the beginning of the path here,
        # as using a weird url such as eg. user/login/(offset)/.ico will result in a 404 error
        location ~* \.(gif|jpe?g?|png|css|js|swf|pdf|html?|ico)$ {
            ## @todo: add expires headers for better scalability...
            # favicon is only stored in 1 dir, the design one; But browsers ask for it in the root
            rewrite ^/favicon\.ico$ /design/standard/images/favicon.ico last;
        }

        # direct access to robots.txt
        location = /robots.txt {
        }

        # direct access to p3p related files
        #location ~ ^/p3p/(.+)\.xml$ {
        #}
}

Hi all,

I have a working properly eZP with Apache2.2.14. And I want to install and configure Nginx as frontend for eZP + FastCGI (listen port 9000)

My nginx.conf:

user www-data;
worker_processes 2;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
# multi_accept on;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 3;
tcp_nodelay off;
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
#gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

My /sites-enabled/site.com file:

server {
listen 80;
server_name site.amazonaws.com www.site.amazonaws.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://site.amazonaws.com/$1 permanent;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:81/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}

When I trying to go to http://site.amazonaws.com, I see only "Welcome to Nginx" or,

if I delete /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/@default -

"The server has determined that the request will never be completed"

Help me, please, tnx
