Hi,

I have seen a similar situation here but the solution didn’t work for  
me. I am getting a ‘NO INPUT FILE SPECIFIED’ and my permanent redirect  
from non-www to www doesn’t seem to work.

Here is my conf file at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

user nginx nginx;  
worker\_processes 6;

error\_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;  
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {  
worker\_connections 1024;  
}

http {  
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;  
default\_type application/octet-stream;

```
   log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]

```

$request ’  
'"$status"  
$body\_bytes\_sent"$http\_referer" ’  
‘"$http\_user\_agent"  
“$http\_x\_forwarded\_for”’;

```
   access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
   sendfile on;
   tcp_nopush on;
   tcp_nodelay off;
   gzip on;
   gzip_http_version 1.0;
   gzip_comp_level 2;
   gzip_proxied any;
   gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript

```

text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript

```
   # fastcgi nodes
   upstream backend {
          server unix:/tmp/fcgi.sock;
   }

   server {
   listen 80;
   server_name www.openfreeze.com;
   root /var/www/html;
   client_max_body_size 50M;
   # protection (we have no .htaccess)
   location ~

```

(^/magento/(app/|includes/|lib/|/pkginfo/|var/|report/config.xml)|/.svn/|/.hta.+)  
{  
deny all;  
}

```
   # vhost specific access log
   access_log /var/log/nginx/vhost.access.log main;

   # this rewrites all the requests to the maintenance.html
   if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) {
          rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/maintenance.html last;
          break;
   }

   # handle all .php files, /downloader and /report
   location ~ (\.php|/downloader/?|/report/?)$ {
          if ($request_uri ~ /(downloader|report)$){
                 # no trailing /, redirecting
                 rewrite ^(.*)$ $1/ permanent;

    }

    fastcgi_index index.php;
   include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

   if (-e $request_filename) { # check if requested path exists
   fastcgi_pass backend;
   }

   }

   # magento
   location / {
          # set expire headers
          if ($request_uri ~* "\.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$") {
                 expires max;
          }

   # set fastcgi settings, not allowed in the .if. block
   include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
   fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /index.php;

   # rewrite - if file not found, pass it to the backend
   if (!-f $request_filename) {
          fastcgi_pass backend;
          break;
   }
   }

```

}  
}

HERE IS MY FASTCGI\_PARAMS /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params

fastcgi\_param QUERY\_STRING $query\_string;  
fastcgi\_param REQUEST\_METHOD $request\_method;  
fastcgi\_param CONTENT\_TYPE $content\_type;  
fastcgi\_param CONTENT\_LENGTH $content\_length;

fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_NAME $fastcgi\_script\_name;  
fastcgi\_param REQUEST\_URI $request\_uri;  
fastcgi\_param DOCUMENT\_URI $document\_uri;  
fastcgi\_param DOCUMENT\_ROOT $document\_root;  
fastcgi\_param SERVER\_PROTOCOL $server\_protocol;

fastcgi\_param GATEWAY\_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;  
fastcgi\_param SERVER\_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx\_version;

fastcgi\_param REMOTE\_ADDR $remote\_addr;  
fastcgi\_param REMOTE\_PORT $remote\_port;  
fastcgi\_param SERVER\_ADDR $server\_addr;  
fastcgi\_param SERVER\_PORT $server\_port;  
fastcgi\_param SERVER\_NAME $server\_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect

fastcgi\_param REDIRECT\_STATUS 200;

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi Howard,

Untested, but I ran into this config recently:

Good luck.

I have tried this Wouter but I am getting a 403 - Fordbidden Error.

Any advice on how to set permissions correctly?
