Been running nginx for _years_ on centos and am in the process of migrating to an Ubuntu (raring) server. I’ve always compiled from source before but figured I’d use the Ubuntu apt-get install. For whatever reason, testing is not working at all (I can serve static but not php) and I set the error\_log level to debug, but I’m still getting notice level messages. Does the package version not include debug (don’t see it with -V) and if so how can I get it through the package system? My previous CentOS migration was smooth, so I don’t know why this one has me tearing my hair out. ---

There’s more than one nginx package in Ubuntu (raring). Perhaps you haven’t installed the one you want to. > My previous CentOS migration was smooth, so I don’t know why this one > has me tearing my hair out. You know The CentOS Way – or you bypassed it by building yourself. You don’t know The Ubuntu Way. I suspect that you’ll be unhappy until you learn it, or until you learn to bypass it. ## f Francis D. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Scratching my head on this one. I created a file that has just the phpinfo(); and looking at the debug log I can see that it appears to hit the fastcgi (it returns an x-powered-by header) but returns a blank page: 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http upstream request: “/carsontest.php?” 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http upstream process header 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 malloc: 0000000001BB71D0:4096 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 recv: fd:8 88 of 4096 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 01 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 06 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 00 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 01 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 00 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 3F 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 01 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record byte: 00 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi record length: 63 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi parser: 0 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi header: “X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.9-4ubuntu2.3” 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi parser: 0 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi header: “Content-type: text/html” 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi parser: 1 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 http fastcgi header done 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 xslt filter header 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 posix\_memalign: 0000000001BB81E0:4096 @16 2013/11/22 04:23:51 [debug] 5453#0: \*10 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.4.3 Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:23:51 GMT Content-Type: text/html Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive Vary: Accept-Encoding X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.9-4ubuntu2.3 Content-Encoding: gzip Again…a head scratcher since I’ve been running nginx and php-fpm for years.

We run Ubuntu on many servers and have come to prefer the binaries offered by [nginx.org](http://nginx.org) rather than the Ubuntu ppa’s One advantage is that upgrades go smoother because the nginx upgrades don’t ask unnecessary questions. ---

Whenever I access a .php page, I get a blank page in my browser. I can't figure out why. I can confirm that lots of stuff is right.... Added fastcgi\_param PATH\_TRANSLATED $document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name; and so far so good.
