Nginx for Symfony

Server NGINX
1

I would like to seek assistance with configuring nginx for a symfony
project.

So far the examples I have managed to get from Google points to setups
where the symfony project is on the root of the virtual host.

I am trying to setup as a subfolder e.g.
www.example.com/my-symfony-project

I have managed to get it to work partially but it seems whenever it
tries to load the css it will try to load it from a wrong folder;

e.g. project folder = /var/www/myproject/web
then it tries to load main.css through
/var/www/myproject/web/var/www/myproject/web/main.css which is not
correct.

Also how do I tell nginx to always load all references to the sf folder
(e.g. /var/www/myproject/web/sf) to the symfony data folder?

Thank you

I have this working setup:

server {
.
.
.
location / {
root /home/httpd/virtserver//html;

       if ($request_filename !~

“.(js|htc|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|htm)$”) {
rewrite ^(.*) /index.php last;
}
index index.html index.htm;
}

     location /sf/ {
       root /home/php/lib/php/data/symfony/web;
     }

     location ~ \.php($|/) {

       set  $script     $uri;
       set  $path_info  "";

       if ($uri ~ "^(.+\.php)(/.+)") {
         set  $script     $1;
         set  $path_info  $2;
       }

       include        fastcgi_params;

       fastcgi_index  index.php;

       fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME

/home/php/projects/symfony/web$script;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;

       fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:8085;
     }
  }

Ok?!

maybe

location /myproject/ {
.

}

In my symfony project’s web folder there is a .htaccess file.

For apache I would have a line in that file that is
RewriteBase /myproject

What is equivalent in nginx?

you can do like this:

server {
root $FULL_SYMFONY_PROJECT_WEBFOLDER_PATH;
location php
location ~ …
}

please take this parts from the mails before :wink:

Hi Aleks,

Thanks for the tip, However, what if I need to have my symfony project
hosted at location /myproject/ ?

I’ve tried to copy the similar setting.

I can see the symfony initial project page by accessing
http://myhostname/myproject/index.php

However it seems http://myhostname/myproject/mymodule/index.php does not
work

Further more it does not seem to load the css and image files under the
myproject/images or myproject/css.

Ok here is one part:

2008/05/25 00:46:08 [error] 4421#0: *5 open()

myproject is a folder under /var/www/nginx-default

server {
listen 9891;
server_name localhost myserver;

    #charset koi8-r;

    #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

    location / {
        root   /var/www/nginx-default;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    location /myproject/
    {
       rewrite ^(.*) index.php last;
    }

    location /myproject/sf/ {

    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root

Hi Kupo,

Yes you are right in regards to Symfony routing. I have placed the .php
as a habit :).

I already have the project running successfully under Apache, but I
would like to use it with nginx simply because I would like to see if it
would a difference especially with everyone that I know off touting how
much more stable Apache is.

Please help.

John, I suggest you run sumfony under apache to begin with as it seems
you are trying two big things at the same time and you will just go in
circles.

http://myhostname/myproject/mymodule/index.php

The above is not how the routing in Symfony works. Try
http://myhostname/myproject/mymodule or
http://myhostname/myproject/mymodule/index

myproject is a folder under /var/www/nginx-default

[snipp]

a guess:

  •    location /myproject/sf_default {

  •   location /myproject/sf_default {

  •      root /usr/share/php/data/symfony/web/sf/;

  •      root /usr/share/php/data/symfony/web;

please take a look which is the correct path for the default symfony
installation.
