With 10.04 Ubuntu you need to add one other step to this. Due to “localhost” now reffering to both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 php-fastcgi will die with the following:

“Host ‘localhost’ has multiple addresses. You must choose one explicitly!”

Quickly open /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi and change
FCGI_HOST=localhost
to
FCGI_HOST=127.0.0.1

Starting and restarting should now work without too many issues now.

Also, you should now use

sudo aptitude -y install libfcgi

instead of

sudo aptitude -y install libfcgi0

Thank you so much. I couldn’t have moved my blog to nginx without this excellent article. Thanks again.

Hello there, thanks for the wonderful guide. However, I need some help here.
Can’t seem to get it to point to wordpress install.
It keeps going to the Welcome to Nginx page instead of the wordpress install.
Any clue why?

Hi there ,

Having a problem that is quite literally driving me mad, and I’ve found nothing out there that has solved my problem. Its quite simple really, I just need to change my php.ini settings for my MAX_UPLOAD_SETTINGS, currently set to 2M. When I change the value in /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini it quite simply doesnt take effect. Restarting nginx does nothing. Any ideas folks ??

Hi there,

Thanks for your tutorial. It has been very helpful.

One thing that I would like to point out, after chatting to the helpful guys in #nginx on freenode is that there’s a slight inefficiency in one of your examples:

rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 permanent;

This uses an unnecessary match/extract regex. Nginx already pulls the URL apart, and hence it’s already accessible directly via a variable. The above line should be changed to:

rewrite ^ http://www.mydomain.com$request_uri permanent;

Hope that helps people squeeze that extra bit of perf out of nginx.
Cheers
OJ

I have a similar configuration, but I am having an issue with PHP-FPM (which is why I found this post by googling).
For some reasons, after a reboot or after manually start PHP-FPM, the website syays up for a while but then dies after some time of inactivity.

Now I am testing with this init.d script you have posted, and have removed the “:” at the end of the script as suggested by boni. A big thank you to you and boni if this works!

One thing that I am not sure is, this doesn’t use PHP-FPM, does it? How does it exactly work and, in case it doesn’t use the PHP-FPM patch, are there any differences in performance?

Thanks!

Sorry to flood this place with comments, but I think I’m close to figuring it out. I exectued each line in the file you provide by doing ‘iptables ***’ at the command line. Each command has worked fine up to this one:
$ iptables -A INPUT -m limit –limit 5/min -j LOG –log-prefix “iptables denied: ” –log-level 7

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Any ideas what this means / what to do next?

Thanks,
~Luke
