Nginx + Perl

Server NGINX

Hi
Nginx perfectly execute Perl scripts with the extensions *.cgi or *.pl
(www.abc.com/bin/test_perl_script.cgi) via fastcgi.
But I should execute Perl scripts without the extension. For example:
www.abc.com/bin/test_perl_script

Thank you!

If perl-scripts without extension the browser tries to download a file,
instead of to execute…

nginx looks on URI to determine how requests should be processed,
and you have to pass appropriate URIs to fastcgi. I.e. to pass
/bin/test_perl_script to fastcgi you should write something like
this in your nginx config:

location = /bin/test_perl_script {
    fastcgi_pass ...
    ...
}

To pass everything under /bin/ write something like this:

location /bin/ {
    fastcgi_pass ...
    ...
}

# file configure
configure: perl script text executable

Server/location in nginx.conf:

    server {


        listen                          80;


        server_name                     twiki;





        location                        / {


         root                           /var/www/twiki/;


         index                          index.html;


         }





        location                        /twiki/bin {


         root                           /var/www/twiki/bin/;


         include                        /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;


         fastcgi_pass                   127.0.0.1:10001;


         fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME
/var/www/twiki$fastcgi_script_name;

         }


           }

Go to http://localhost/twiki/bin/configure and browser downloads a file
:frowning:

This example is work fine, but here *.cgi …

        location                        ~ .cgi$ {


         root                           /var/www/nagios/cgi-bin/;


         rewrite                        ^/nagios/cgi-bin/(.*)\.cgi
/$1.cgi break;

         include                        /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;


         fastcgi_pass                   127.0.0.1:10001;


         fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME
/var/www/nagios$fastcgi_script_name;

         }

no ideas…

Probably a problem simply in a section location… maybe somehow use
rewrite or another variant…

depends on the fastcgi backend itself. Nginx only passes the
parameters to fastcgi backend.
