nginx and sub directory

[Infuscu]

Hello,

I should first mention that I am totally new to everything related to nginx (and hosting in general).

I am trying to install XenForo on Ubuntu 12.04 with nginx and php-fpm installed. I am not getting far before I encounter problems. I've read around several threads trying to figure out what I am doing wrong but I reckon my primary problem lies within the nginx configuration. I might be missing something essential - as the general structure or something else ..

Anyway, this is my folder structure:

/opt/www/forum/<xenforo>

nginx config:
http://pastebin.com/ip96k3CX

I am receiving "502 Bad Gateway" when I try to reach anything on the domain (http://192.81.222.209).

Urgh! What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Most likely "unix:/tmp/php.socket;" isn't there.

Make sure you route PHP requests to php-fpm correctly.

Thanks for the reply.

I am not entirely sure what you mean. Isn't line 16 what you're referring to?

In your nginx.conf you route all php requests to the unix socket "/tmp/php.socket". The gateway error means that this socket cannot be found or cannot be used.

Since you've installed php-fpm: Find it's socket file and route to it correctly in nginx.conf. Or alternatively do not use the socket and route requests via TCP to the php-fpm localhost listener URL.

I got it working! It was indeed the routing which was incorrect

Now I just gotta understand it .. seems like a complex world.

Thanks!
