Nginx Assistance

[lostincable]

Hi all, I am running Nginx with PHP-FPM from centminmod and about to move my forum to Xenforo but just have a bit of trouble with the configuration.

My forum is in my document root and I added what was said is required for NGINX friendly URL's from here -

http://xenforo.com/help/friendly-urls/

Now this section when added to the configuration file for the NGINX site causes NGINX /PHP-FPM to make all URL's download a file and it does not execute them. I have looked in all the logs and nothing is around. If I remove this section and restart NGINX the site works fine including friendly URL's.

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri /xf/index.php
    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

Centminmod creates the Nginx config files for you and at the bottom of the config file it has added these comments -

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
  #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

So I looked at my "php.conf " file and it shows the fast CGI parameters and it also has this in there -

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    #fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}

So do I need to add the fastcgi option into my conf to make it work or is it already taken care of?

And I am guessing but could this be cuasing my files to download vs execute?

My fulle NGINX config file is here -

server {
  server_name xxxxx localhost www.localhost;
 
  # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;
  # ssi  on;
 
access_log /xxxxxx/access.log combined buffer=32k;
error_log /xxxxx/error.log;
 
root /xxxxxx/public;
 
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    index index.php index.html;
}
 
location /internal_data/ {
    internal;
}
location /library/ {
      internal;
}
 
#location ~ \.php$ {
#    try_files $uri /index.php
#    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
#    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#    include        fastcgi_params;
#}
 
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

bit confused you getting files prompting for download if you leave centmin mod config as is ? or when you try adding to existing centmin mod existing config ?

you don't need to touch php.conf from centmin mod

which files are downloading ? php files ? attachments ?

Okay ill cut it down !

This works -

server {
  server_name xxxxx localhost www.localhost;
 
  # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;
  # ssi  on;
 
access_log /xxxxxx/access.log combined buffer=32k;
error_log /xxxxx/error.log;
 
root /xxxxxx/public;
 
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    index index.php index.html;
}
 
location /internal_data/ {
    internal;
}
location /library/ {
      internal;
}
 
#location ~ \.php$ {
#    try_files $uri /index.php
#    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
#    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#    include        fastcgi_params;
#}
 
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

This doesn't work -

server {
  server_name xxxxx localhost www.localhost;
 
  # limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;
  # ssi  on;
 
access_log /xxxxxx/access.log combined buffer=32k;
error_log /xxxxx/error.log;
 
root /xxxxxx/public;
 
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    index index.php index.html;
}
 
location /internal_data/ {
    internal;
}
location /library/ {
      internal;
}
 
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php
fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include        fastcgi_params;
}
 
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
#include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
}

It makes all URL's download instead of executing if that makes sense?

you don't need this

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

it's already in php.conf generated by centmin mod http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure.html
