SEO Urls - Nginx - Help

[Bigstack]

Ok So i have spent the better part of a day and a half trying to figure out how to setup the nginx config for this. I am coming from a server that had Cpanel + nginx and everything worked just fine. My new server I just put virtual min on and I belive the php is in fastcgi mode not DSO like before... The only way to get my site to work right now is to turn off friendly URLs but I have hard links to the others ones over the net.

Here is mynginx.conf (added note it also pulles in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf) I can post that if necessary.

My site root is:
/home/websitehere/public_html

user  nginx;
worker_processes  2;
 
error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;
 
 
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
 
 
http {
    include      /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
 
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
 
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
 
    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush    on;
 
    keepalive_timeout  65;
 
    #gzip  on;
 
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;
    server {
        server_name websitehere.com www.websitehere.com;
        listen 45.135.177.111;
        root /home/websitehere/public_html;
        index index.html index.htm index.php;
        access_log /var/log/virtualmin/websitehere.com_access_log;
        error_log /var/log/virtualmin/websitehere.com_error_log;
 
        fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
        fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
        fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/websitehere/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /home/websitehere/public_html;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
        fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
        location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/136598955615441.sock/socket;
        }
    }
}

Any help greatly appreciated im stuck.

I have been there. I have put them into the file but it errors. I think there is an issue with how virtual-min setup the nginx for my site. The config above is what is there by default.

Here is my forums nginx config file - it's working and friendly URLS are enabled. You will need to edit the paths to reflect your setup. The allow: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx will need to be changed to your IP if you use Munin - it was the only reliable way I could get some of the plugins to work that needed stub access. If you don't need stub access then you can remove that segment.
