Hi,

I deploy the application using Capistrano to /var/nginx/www/myapp. The  
current code is always at /var/nginx/www/myapp/current.

So I changes the server’s root folder to /var/nginx/www/myapp/current  
hoping that the location specs would be raktive to this folder. Since  
then I get the “No input file specified.” error.

I also have fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME  
$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;

What might be wrong?

Thanks,  
Yash

Are you using Capistrano with PHP?  
No input file specified usually if there is no running PHP there.

That message (usually) comes from the fastcgi server, and (usually)  
means that the SCRIPT\_FILENAME that was sent was not found by that  
server.

From your configuration, it looks like that for this request,  
SCRIPT\_FILENAME is  
/cygdrive/e/xampp/htdocs/getit/src/myapp/index.php .

Does that filename exist, from the point of view of the fastcgi server?

(The “/cygdrive/” bit suggests that cygwin is involved somehow. Is  
php running under cygwin? Does it have the same view of the filesystem  
as nginx?)
