Wordpress setup

Server NGINX
1

Hi folks

I’m setting wordpres 2.5 in a BSD box, running nginx 0.5.35, my basic
php setup is :

server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.bsdguy.net;
root /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/wordpress;
index index.php;
access_log /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/log/access.log;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}

    location ~.*\.php?$ {
            include /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:10000;
            fastcgi_index /index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME

/var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/wordpress$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}

before to init nginx I spawn de fcgi process with spawn-fcgi from
lighttpd:

% sudo /usr/pkg/bin/spawn-fcgi -u www -g www -a 127.0.0.1 -p 10000 -f
/usr/pkg/libexec/cgi-bin/php -P /var/run/fastcgi-php
spawn-fcgi.c.197: child spawned successfully: PID: 173

nginx start with sucess, but when I try to open the web address it
display a window trying to open a file.

I’m using NetBSD 4.0 stable, nginx 0.5.35, php5, whenever I belive
this is no matter.

Advices, tips, tricks, etc… are welcome .

Regards.

  1. switch to using php-fpm for fastcgi management

  2. try method #2 or even #3 here:

http://michaelshadle.com/2008/05/01/wordpress-nginx-rewrite-rules-stop-the-insanity/

server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.bsdguy.net;
root /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/wordpress/;
index index.php;
access_log /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/log/access.log;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last;
}
location ~ .php$ {
include /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:10000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}

that should get you started. i am having a minor issue with method #2
and method #3 on my blog where if you put /index.php at the end, it
isn’t working. not sure why. i need to debug/ask more, but that should
get you started there…

that is the exact server block i have for my site and it works fine
(other than that minor annoyance which i need to fix, then i will
probably post a blog about the “final solution” since so many people
overcomplicate their rewrites for wordpress)
