NGINX and WordPress help.An Unexpected HTTP Error

Server NGINX
1

Getting a strange error when I try to browse to the install pages on my
site’s wp-admin, running 32-bit Arch, NGINX 0.8.53, PHP 5.3.3
(fpm-fcgi), and so far I’ve tried this on WP 3.0.0 and 3.0.1.

An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.

The common solution (which did not work for me…or a litany of other
users according to what I’ve found on google) is to change the timeout
in wp-includes/class-http.php to something greater than or equal to 30
seconds:

'timeout' => apply_filters( 'http_request_timeout', 5)

After changing this setting I cleared my browser’s cache and still
received error.

Here is my nginx.conf:

[code]user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 1;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
set_real_ip_from 204.93.240.0/24;
set_real_ip_from 204.93.177.0/24;
set_real_ip_from 199.27.128.0/21;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;

include            mime.types;
default_type        application/octet-stream;

log_format    main    '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]  '
            '"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
            '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
            '"$gzip_ratio"';

client_header_timeout    3m;
client_body_timeout    3m;
send_timeout        3m;

client_header_buffer_size    1k;
large_client_header_buffers    4    4k;

gzip            on;
gzip_min_length        1100;
gzip_buffers        4    8k;
gzip_types        text/plain;

output_buffers        1    32k;
postpone_output        1460;

sendfile        on;
tcp_nopush        on;

tcp_nodelay        on;

keepalive_timeout    75    20;

include            /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

}[/code]

Here is this vhost’s config file:

[code]server {
server_name direct.powermy.biz www.powermy.biz
powermy.biz;
access_log /var/log/nginx/powermybiz.access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/powermybiz.error.log;

location / {
    root    /srv/www/powermy.biz/public_html;
    index    index.html    index.htm    index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    root        /srv/www/powermy.biz/public_html;
    fastcgi_pass    unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index    index.php;
    fastcgi_param    SCRIPT_FILENAME

/srv/www/powermy.biz/public_html/$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE
“open_basedir=/srv/www/powermy.biz/public_html/:/srv/www/powermy.biz/logs/:/tmp/\nupload_tmp_dir=/tmp/”;
fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE “allow_url_fopen=off”;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}[/code]

Before you ask, yes I have tried enabling fopen in both the vhost config
and my php.ini and I have restarted php-fpm and nginx after making those
changes, still to no avail.

Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried removing all the extra settings you have there and then
adding them back one by one to see if one off them was interfering?

Just tried, looks like it was a one-two punch combo of not clearing the
cache every time a change was made and fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE
“allow_url_fopen=off”; Removing that line and clearing the cache solved
the problem.
