SCRIPT_FILENAME relative or absolute

Server NGINX
1

I have seen nginx.conf for linux systems and they start with a / which
means
its an absolute path.
For windows, is it absolute or relative.
same goes for the root directive is it absolute path or relative path

In nginx/Windows
*) “c:/…” is absolute path,
*) “/…” is path relative path to drive where nginx was started,
*) anything else is path relative to directory where nginx was started.

This is depends on your needs.

BTW, $script_filename is used in path for FastCGI process and

  1. it may be native Win32 binary,
  2. it may be Cygwin binary using own pathes,
  3. it may be even on another host, and the host may be Unix one.

A correction: path relative to

  1. drive or directory set in the “-p” switch,
  2. drive or directory where nginx was started.
