XF 1.1 XF on dotcloud (NGINX+fastcgi)

I'm testing an install (with an eye to migration) on dotcloud. That means that a stock XF is running under NGINX in dotcloud's config. (no nginx config files ATM, using the stock config). I've already tried modding the XF nginx.conf at nginx.

So, the issue-xF is constantly "logging me out" while I'm trying to work with it, usually while trying to work with things like rebuilding the caches after installing an addon, or while importing data. (and then if I don't login, I then get a 'not allowed' or 'not found' (which I assume means that the fastcgi interface didn't report back, maybe XF crashed?)

My instinct is telling me that this is is actually something triggering a timeout, or possibly something going wonky with the fastcgi interface running the PHP. Their nginx<--->fastcgi interface does has a nonmodifiable 60 second limit, so might there be something to tweak with that?

Also as an aside, their config comes with apc by default, which I have disabled with a mini php.ini in the home directory.

All this is up at forums-phoenixrising.dotcloud.com.....if anyone wants to dig further, I can give access.

oh, d'oh! that'll teach me to try to multi-task (while doing thanksgiving dinner nonetheless!).

do I need to put the http_x_real_ip, remote_addr, or server_addr into the header? (I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how dotcloud is provisioning from ec2)

[update]none of the ip's seem to work, also tried specifying port #'s, sever_name, same error-misconfig

Oh, they're forwarding with IPv6 addresses too. Use this:
Code: 
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = str_replace('::ffff:', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']);

no dice, still an error. exact copy (except for the last two octets of the address) of the end of the config.php:

Code: 
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = str_replace('::ffff:', '', $_SERVER['96.8.xxx.xxx']);

uggh.

oi, ever have days where the obvious completely escapes you?

so, forward progress, half solved!

....now just getting 405 errors , but not as often.

(I've seen talk about accidental http POSTs against a static file?)

installed a fresh copy on my vps, imported current database from vbulletin, reinserted the explicit reference to the real server IP, & did a fresh push to dotcloud .
(Currently in action at www.cloud.phoenixrising.me ), got the exact same issue, this time when deleting a node.

From the nginx error logs:

Code:

Are we still talking about the 405 error? I don't see any 405 errors in those logs.

At the very least, a 405 error is a server restriction. The server is not allowing a certain request method. I have also seen proxies change the request method which may instigate an error like this.

I know, that's the really weird thing. Usually they show up intermittently when running a task that goes beyond user access stuff, like when doing the import, once while doing the install, while deleting a node/category. And sometimes I just get kicked out (the 'logout') and sometimes my browser (tested in multiple browsers, multiple platforms) just shows (I **SWEAR**) a 405 error--it's like there's an error that's occurring in the fastcgi module and its getting sent as a 405 by nginx.
