hey,
just about to move from lighttpd to nginx. but for some reason i can't manage to get it to work. i used perusio config from github but always end up in redirect loops. i got the feeling that i need to learn a bit more about this config and tried a fresh drupal setup with a very minimal nginx conifg out perusio version. but even then i only manage to get redirect loops between / and install.php
can anyone help me to get a minimal working nginx.config for a fresh drupal setup without any fancy stuff?
my nginx.conf:
user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 4096;
multi_accept on;
use epoll;
}
http {
## MIME types.
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
## Default log and error files.
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
server {
listen 80; # IPv4
server_name test.dev;
access_log /var/log/nginx/dev.test.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/dev.test.error.log;
root /srv/http/dev.test/;
index index.php;
location / {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
}
location ~* ^.+.(?:css|cur|js|jpe?g|gif|ico|png|html|xml)$ {
access_log off;
expires 30d;
tcp_nodelay off;
open_file_cache max=3000 inactive=120s;
open_file_cache_valid 45s;
open_file_cache_min_uses 2;
open_file_cache_errors off;
}
}
}my fastcgi.conf:
### Generic fastcgi configuration.
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING q=$uri&$args;

got it running
finally i got it running with a different config, i've found on stackexchange:

everything runs fine for now. the first thing i noticed is the difference in the query string and rewriting to the config from perusio. i wonder whats the big difference?
You should ask yourself the question why
that config (the one on the Nginx wiki) is not recommended here. It was once here but it was removed because it has too many problems. It has been discussed here many times.
Your redirect loop probably came from having some module installed that provokes that.
On drupal 6, Global Redirect causes that problem.
Also the rewrite is unnecessary. It's just one additional processing step that serves no purpose.
thanks for your reply
i didn't know this config is the one from the nginx wiki as i found it on stackexchange without mentioning the wiki. but you're right its this config and i've seen some discussion about it here. there is no real reason using it except its the one running on my test system right now. it even has problems with the images created in 7.20 and later.
your config seems to be very good but also very advanced for a start. if you get stuck at some point and don't know how some stuff might affect parts of drupal. i had those loops with a default drupal 7 without any additional modules. just copied it into the folder for testing. i haven't tried any drupal 6.
i give your config another try. maybe i'll figure out what causing those loops.
Use the
debug log if you hit the redirect loop again. Post your debug log on a pastie or on a Gist so that we can help you.
