Hi all, I am trying, and failing to set up a server to serve phpmyadmin. This is my config (one of about 30 tried). server { listen 80 default; server\_name default.anake.hcs localhost; index index.php index.htm index.html; root /var/www/nginx-default/; location /doc { root /usr/share; autoindex on; allow 127.0.0.1; deny all; } location /images { root /usr/share; autoindex on; } # # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 # location ~ .php$ { set $php\_root $document\_root; if ($request\_uri ~\* /phpmyadmin) { set $php\_root /usr/share; } fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME $php\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf; fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } # # phpmyadmin - installed in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php etc # location /phpmyadmin { root /usr/share; index index.php; } } Results /test.php Correct. Properly passes /var/www/nginx-default/tesst.php to fast-cgi and displays the results /phpmyadmin No input file specified. \* \*/phpmyadmin/ No input file specified. /phpmyadmin/index.php No input file specified. I’m using nginx/0.7.67 Help much appreciated Regards Ian ---

Hi All, Found what was happening but I don’t know how to fix it. if I remove the clause starting "location ~ .php$ { " then phpmyadmin works. How can I stop it firing when the URL does NOT contain “phpmyadmin” ??? This is the full config. ---
