XF 1.1 RSS URLs not working

[euantor]

I've recently installed XF for the first time ever on a new VPS running nginx. Everything seems to work just fine, apart from RSS. None of the RSS feed URLs work at all - I just get a nginx 404 error page. I'm pretty sure this is an issue with my vhost config, so if somebody could take a quick look at it below, I'd be extremely grateful:

server {
        index index.html index.php index.htm;
 
        server_name www.f1fanforums.com;
        root /var/www/f1fanforums.com/htdocs;
 
        access_log /var/www/f1fanforums.com/log/access.log;
        error_log /var/www/f1fanforums.com/log/error.log;
 
        include global/restrictions.conf;
 
        location ~ /(internal_data|library) {
                internal;
        }
 
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }
 
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                # With php5-fpm:
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        }
}

I also have cgi.fix_path_info set to 0 in my php-fpm/php.ini config if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have APC installed for OPCode Cache? I had this issue, and needed to increase apc.max_file_size I think

[euantor]

I do have APC, yes. I'm getting an actual hard 404 though which tells me it's nginx at fault not passing it to PHP-FPM.

 

[MattW]

Oh OK then. I'm using nginx on my dev site, and RSS is working OK.

Ah, one key difference I can see is this line:

try_files $uri $uri/ /xenforo/index.php?$uri&$args;

I'll try adding that, thanks!

 

[euantor]

Just tried that, no luck

 

[MattW]

That could be because I'm running the forum out of /xenforo/ directory. Do friendly URLs also work on your site?

 

[euantor]

Yep, got full friendly URLs enabled looking like this:

Works fine. I think the issue might for some reason be the .rss extension, but I'm not 100% sure why that would cause issues.

 

[euantor]

Actually, just fixed it. The rss extension was in my block to send caching headers. I simply removed it and left all the other extensions:

        location ~* ^.+\.(css|js|html|ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|atom...
                access_log off;
                log_not_found off;
                expires max;
                add_header Pragma public;
                add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
        }

Seems to have fixed the issue.

This works for me:

[euantor]

Yeah, thanks for the hep
