Hi guys (new to the list),

I installed nginx on Ubuntu Hardy and immediately realized that the PHP  
scripts were getting empty request arrays, ie whether GET or POST  
nothing  
was coming through, even the $\_REQUEST array was empty.

When I switch back to Apache it was all fine.

The installation nginx version is 0.6.35-0ubuntu1.1~hardy1 and PHP is  
PHP  
Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10.

What could be wrong?
