Nginx FastCGI on subdirectories

Question

I'm trying to make Nginx proxy multiple web applications (among others, Tiny Tiny RSS and phpPgAdmin) onto different subdirectories under the same domain.

For example, TT RSS is under /home/ttrss/www/, served by a PHP5 FPM process running under user "ttrss", and other webapps follow the same model.

Here is the relevant Nginx configuration :

# Tiny Tiny RSS
location /ttrss/ {
  alias /home/ttrss/www/;
  index index.php;
}

location ~ /ttrss/.*\.php$ {
  if ($fastcgi_script_name ~ /ttrss(/.*\.php)$) {
    set $valid_fastcgi_script_name $1;
  }
  include fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/ttrss/www/$valid_fastcgi_script_name;
}

I have never used Nginx before, and I'd like to know if the way I did it is the "right way", or if there's a different, easier or simply better way I didn't know about.

Answer 1

I have never used Nginx before, and I'd like to know if the way I did it is the "right way",

there is a wide variety of beginners-documentation available @ wiki.nginx.org and i think your should read those guides first and come back if you have specific questions.

Answer 2

You should be able to solve this with nested locations. You are likely to have to fiddle with includes to avoid duplicating too much.

location /tt-rss/ {

    root /my/install/dir/for/ttrss; 
    index index.php;

    # block these
    location ~* (include/|lock/|utils/|locale/|classes/*) {
         deny all;
    }

    # PHP ttrss
    location ~ \.php$ {
     ...
     }

  }

Answer 3

you must create at / etc / nginx / sites-enabled /

ttrss such a file to be your virtualhost

server {
     listen 80;
     server_name localhost;
     root /var/www/;
     server_tokens off;
     access_log /dev/null;
     error_log /var/log/nginx/ttrss.error.log;
     index index.php;

    location ~ \.php${
          {Your PHP Configuration}
     }
}

• Save the file.

Then restart the nginx to take the changes

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

I hope this can help you
