I’m trying to setup my first site, which uses wordpress, photopost
classifieds, vbulletin and gossamer threads (CGI Perl based) software -
along with some fairly simple posts.
The site is being migrated from apache (frontend) + lightttpd (static)
to a nginx + fastcgi. I’m focused on migrating the PHP part first, as we
can always proxy the CGI requests to Apache.
My nginx.conf looks like this (based on various bits and pieces found on
google and mailing lists).
My questions are
- Am I missing something obvious?
- Why cant I get the Wordpress 404 to work correctly?
- We need to exclude a couple of countries due to various illegal spam
issues. Is this http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpGeoModule the best
way to do it?
Thanks in advance from someone who is VERY new to Nginx.
Regards,
Shri

### Proxy CGI to Apache for now
location ^~ /scripts/ {
proxy_pass http://cgiserver;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location ^~ /resources/Detailed/ {
