Hello,

Thanks.

How are you getting the php files read? Where did you get that from?

I have this (and have to) in my nginx forum definition

Code:

    # use fastcgi for all php files
        location ~ \.php$ {
        # Zero-day exploit defense.
        # http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,88845,page=3
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_ignore_client_abort off;
        fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
        fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
        fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
        fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

Like Tracy Perry said you're missing whatever handles your .php files, like Fast-CGI or FPM, etc.

You need this also for SEO settings to work:

Code:

location /xf/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /xf/index.php?$uri&$args;
    index index.php index.html;
}

location /xf/internal_data/ {
    internal;
}
location /xf/library/ {
      internal;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

Those are the minimum, you can configure it further for better peformance/security.

What version of nginx... it's working fine with that exact host setup on my current Debian 7.0 running nginx 1.4.1.
When you say you installed it, did you compile it or did you use a repository version? What OS (Debian, centOS, Ubuntu) are you using?

I use Centos 6.3 and Centminmod installer.

I think I may have found an error in my example. I had taken a section out that pertains to my phpmyadmin setup protection and think I cut one to many "}" out.
Change this segment

Code:

rewrite ^/(.*)/favicon.ico$ /favicon.ico last;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/bogboys-error.log warn;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/bogboys-access.log;
    root /var/www/bogboys;
    #end changes needed to begin

to this

Code:

rewrite ^/(.*)/favicon.ico$ /favicon.ico last;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/bogboys-error.log warn;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/bogboys-access.log;
    root /var/www/bogboys;
    #end changes needed to begin
}

and see if it works.

@melbourne I've edited my original full example. I just tested it on my dedicated server using nginx -t and it checks clear. Try recopying all that to the file you are using, editing the paths and the names to reflect your setup.

Which version of Centmin Mod used http://centminmod.com/changelog.html ?

Did you follow Xenforo and Centmin Mod setup for your domain's VHOST file as per http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure.html ? Specifically http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_xenforo_seo_friendly_urls.html

Your domain's vhost as per http://centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html when you run menu option #2 would be located at

Nginx vhost conf path will be at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/newdomain.com.conf
Vhost public web root will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public
Vhost log directory will be at /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log

With Centmin Mod VHOST entries are not in nginx.conf but their own vhost files i.e. /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/yourdomain.com.conf

run centmin.sh script and menu option #2 first to setup your domain Nginx vhost as per instructions at http://centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html

Code:

Me as well, and I think you have more knowledge on centminmod

Where did you garb those url's?

http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure.html ? Specifically http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_xenforo_seo_friendly_urls.html

I haven't seen that before

D.O.A. · Jul 21, 2013

Do you have access for server logs?
Can you run just a basic php info file? what does it tell you for the php handler?
Use a basic config to start with http://xenforo.com/community/threads/nginx.46328/#post-504411

I solved the problem by creating a vhost. Thank you to everyone for your help.

urls are on front page of site http://centminmod.com/ and linked to on nginx page http://centminmod.com/nginx.html (first paragraph
