Hello. I am new here.

I try to enable PHP and CGI(Perl) on UserDir (/home/user/public\_html)  
with  
nginx.  
But on my Chrome, PHP script is downloaded and CGI script shows me “404  
Not  
Found” page.  
Here’s my configurations. What is wrong with my configurations?

In nginx, one requests is handled in one location.

[Module ngx\_http\_core\_module](http://nginx.org/r/location) describes how the one location is chosen  
for a particular request.

You have:

> ```

> location ~ (^~)*\.php$ {
> location ~ (^~)*\.pl|cgi$ {

> location ~ .*~.*\.pl|cgi$ {
> 
> ```

According to the description, the requests /~user/index.cgi and  
/~user/index.php are both handled in the second location there,  
which says:

> ```
> location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
> alias /home/$1/public_html$2;
> index index.html index.htm;
> autoindex on;
> 
> ```

which says “serve the file /home/user/public\_html/index.cgi (or  
index.php)  
from the filesystem, with no further processing”. And that is what you  
see – one file does not exist, do you get 404; the other file does  
exist,  
so you get it.

To make things work, you will need to arrange your location{} blocks  
so that the one that you want nginx to use to process a request, is the  
one that nginx does choose to process a request.

And then make sure that you know what mapping you want nginx to use for  
_this_ request should be handled by processing _this_ file through  
_that_  
fastcgi server (or whatever is appropriate).

Good luck with it,

Hi, thank you for great help, Aleksandar L…  
I tried it.

PHP script shows me “File not found.” and outputs the following log:  
2015/11/29 05:50:15 [error] 5048#0: \*6 FastCGI sent in stderr: “Primary  
script unknown” while reading response header from upstream, client:  
119.105.136.26, server: localhost, request: “GET /~user/index.php  
HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000”, host: “[host.domain.com](http://host.domain.com)”

- I do not know how to fix it…

CGI script shows me “Error: No such CGI app -  
/home//public\_html/~user/index.cgi may not exist or is not executable by  
this process.” and outputs nothing to error.log.

- /home//public\_html/~user/… I think this path is wrong and I tried to  
fix this path but I could not. /home/user/public\_html/ should be correct  
path…

Thank you for great help!  
I did not understand /~user/index.cgi and /~user/index.php are handled  
on  
“location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.\*)?$ {”.  
I remade /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf as the following:

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name localhost;  
access\_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;  
error\_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

```
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log /var/log/nginx/log/host.access.log main;

    index index.html index.htm;
}

    alias /home/$1/public_html$2.$3;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME 

```

$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params;  
}

```
location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?\.(pl|cgi)$ {
    alias /home/$1/public_html$2.$3;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8999;
    fastcgi_index index.cgi;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME 

```

$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params;  
}

```
location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
    alias /home/$1/public_html$2;
    index index.html index.htm;
    autoindex on;
}

#error_page 404 /404.html;

$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;

fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:8999;  
fastcgi\_index index.cgi;  
fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME  
$document\_root$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_params;  
}

```
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}

```

}

After that, I restarted nginx. Looks like PHP (/~user/index.php) finally  
works!  
But CGI (/~user/index.cgi) says “Error: No such CGI app -  
/home/user/public\_html/index.cgi/~user/index.cgi may not exist or is not  
executable by this process.” though I don’t know why.

I installed nginx with rpm -Uvh  
[http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm](http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm)  
and yum -y install nginx.  
Do I need to reinstall nginx for the debug?

What does the nginx error log ( /var/log/nginx/error.log) say when you  
access a php page?

Delete that line - it does nothing useful here. (It does no harm, other  
than being a distraction.)

Change that line to be just

```
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root;

```

“alias” is a bit funny. In this context, it means that $document\_root  
corresponds to the file on the filesystem that you want the fastcgi  
server to process.

I’m a bit surprised that the current version works – perhaps your php  
config does not have

cgi.fix\_pathinfo=0

and so takes more than one guess at the file to process.

Delete.

Change to remove $fastcgi\_script\_name, just like the previous case.

Here, most likely php is not involved, and your fastcgi server just  
tries  
to process SCRIPT\_FILENAME, which does not name a real file right now.

I think that the explanations are above, along with the one necessary  
fix  
(for cgi/pl) and the one strongly suggested fix (for php).

Good luck with it,

Sorry I forgot error log.

CGI outputs 2015/11/29 04:01:07 [error] 2618#0: \*6 open()

PHP outputs nothing to error.log.

Please run the debug log to see more.

This value is commented out.  
$ grep cgi.fix\_pathinfo php.ini  
; cgi.fix\_pathinfo provides _real_ PATH\_INFO/PATH\_TRANSLATED support for  
CGI. PHP’s  
;cgi.fix\_pathinfo=1  
I’ve never edited php.ini.

Great!! Both of CGI and PHP finally works!!  
I made configuration file by copying from configuration file which I  
found  
from somewhere and I did not understand what fastcgi\_param means.  
Thanks so much for your help!

I put successful configuration here again for future use.

/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

listen 80;
