Nginx with Fuelcms

knight · February 2011

It seem like not many people here is sharing how to run FUELCMS on nginx, after spending a few hour playing with it, this seem like working for me, please share if you have other way.


location / {
  if ($request_filename !~ (js|css|images|img|robots\.txt|index\.php.*) ) {
  rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last;
}
       
location ~ /index.php/  {
  fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/knight/public/$fastcgi_script_name;
}

Just want to update this post , I just wipe my dev vps and realiase I never backup my nginx setting, lucky I leave a post here , but I guess I should actually complete this.

my setup
ubuntu natty
php-fpm
nginx 1.0.4
all install done by apt-get

*replace domain.com with your own domain
*replace home_path with your actual path

edit the vhost on /etc/nginx/site-available/domain.com


server {
            listen   80;
            server_name  www.domain.com;
            rewrite ^/(.*) http://domain.com/$1 permanent;
       }
server {
            listen   80;
            server_name domain.com;
            access_log /home_path/log/access.log;
            error_log /home_path/log/error.log;

            location / {

                root   /home_path/public/;
                index  index.php index.html;

                if ($request_filename !~ (js|css|images|img|robots\.txt|index\.php.*) ) {
                        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last;
                }

                if (!-f $request_filename) {
                        rewrite ^/(.*)(fuel/modules/.*) /$2 last;
                        rewrite ^/(.*)(/assets/.*) /$2 last;
                }

                location ^~ /fuel/crons {
                        deny all;
                }

                location ^~ /fuel/data_backup {
                        deny all;
                }
                }
            # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
            location ~ /index.php/
            {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home_path/public$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
           }
       }

once you done this, you might still see error, test it the login page http://domain.com/fuel/login/ , if this display properly, which mean the rewrite rules is working, checking on the error.log you will see there is some upstream error, which prevent the site to display properly.

Just create /etc/nginx/conf.d/buffer.conf and leave these value in the conf file


fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;

restart your nginx and you should be able to see your shining fuelcms working!
