Drupal try_files php fastcgi

Otto_Bretz · March 14, 2009, 11:22am

Hi,

I’m having trouble getting $subject to work. I’m running 0.6.35 with
the try_files patch. I tried to follow the config posted in [1]. My
current config can be found at [2].

I’m also not able to get a simple phpinfo page to work,
http://themansion.mine.nu/test1/. Drupal is installed in
http://themansion.mine.nu/test2/

I launched my fcgi process with:
spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 10005 -u www -g www -f
/usr/local/bin/php-fastcgi

Php is from the OpenBSD ports tree.
#php-fastcgi -v
PHP 5.2.9 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.3 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Mar 12 2009

Any hints as to what I’m missing?

This line

2009/03/14 10:59:00 [error] 17863#0: *31 directory index of

t1/” is forbidden, client: 90.227.72.67, server: _, request: “GET
/test1/ HTTP/1
.1”, host: “themansion.mine.nu”

means that you have no index file in /test1/ - /test1/index.html
(default
index file):

    location / {
        root   /var/www/htdocs;
        #index  index.html index.htm;
        try_files      $uri  $uri/  @drupal;
    }

What file should handle index of /test1/ ?

index.php. I changed the index directive and now I only get these
messages and a page temporarily unavailable page:
2009/03/16 08:30:16 [error] 27364#0: *37 could not find named location
“@drupal”, client: 10.0.1.10, server: _, request: “GET /test1/

“@drupal”, client: 10.0.1.10, server: _, request: “GET /test2/
HTTP/1.1”, host: “10.0.1.11”

Could it be something wrong with the fcgi setup?

Then you probably need:

    location / {
        root   /var/www/htdocs;
        try_files      $uri  $uri/index.php  @drupal;
    }

messages and a page temporarily unavailable page:
2009/03/16 08:30:16 [error] 27364#0: *37 could not find named location
“@drupal”, client: 10.0.1.10, server: _, request: “GET /test1/

2009/03/16 08:30:46 [error] 27364#0: *39 could not find named location

Have you @drupal location ?

Have you @drupal location ?

This is one thing I want to get up on the wiki cookbook, a simple

@wordpress
@drupal

etc.

Simple being the key word.

A lot of people do wordpress crap with wp-content/*.js and all these
other filters and all you need is a simple

if (!-e $request_filename) {}
or
try_files $uri $uri/ @wordpress
or
try_files $uri $uri/ /path/to/main/wordpress/index.php

etc.

right now i run my blog using this:

error_page 404 = /wordpress/index.php?q=$request_uri;

works like a charm. i do want to start using try_files as I assume
that is more efficient and not kind of a silly hack “hey, if it’s a
404, use -this- as the page handler!”

I find that basic recipe works for a lot of PHP frameworks.

Does Joomla require “/index.php?q=$request_uri” ?
When I have checked on their site, just /index.php was enough.

It’s better to use try_files:

root /path/to/root;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @fallback;
}

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri @fallback;

fastcgi_pass   ...;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# or just
#    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$uri;
# as here $fastcgi_script_name == $uri
fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     $query_string;

# other fastcgi_param's

}

location @fallback {
fastcgi_pass …;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/index.php;
fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     q=$request_uri;

# other fastcgi_param's

}

Probably, you can use omit @fallback:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php?q=$request_uri;
…
}

Yes. I have some configuration (Russain):
http://sysoev.ru/nginx/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files

It should be tested thoroughly by PHP and Mongrel users and included in
wiki.

No idea. I’ve only installed it for a few sites and with limited
testing (I quit testing when it worked

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php?q=$request_uri;
…

Thanks,

I’ll give this a try and update the wiki.
