I'm trying to setup a Horde groupware with Nginx. The webinterface works but I do not get the ActiveSync specific URL to work. The Horde Wiki explains how to use it with an Apache Webserver here.

My problem is, that I setup a rewrite (tried an alias too) to serve the location /horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync via the /horde/rpc.php script. But with my current configuration nginx does the rewrite and returns a 200 status code. But it looks like that the php file is not executed. If I go to /horde/rpc.php directly it opens up the login dialog. So this seems to work correct.

Firstly I was googling about the problem but could not find a working solution. So now I would like to ask you.

The configuration should allow to access the ActiveSync part via the URL /horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync. The horde webinterface is already accessible via /horde.

My configuration looks like this:

default-ssl.conf

server {
        listen                  443 ssl;
        ssl                     on;
        ssl_certificate         /opt/nginx/conf/certs/server.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key     /opt/nginx/conf/certs/server.key;
        server_name             example.com;
        index                   index.html index.php;
        root                    /var/www;

        include sites-available/horde.conf;
}

horde.conf

location /horde {
        rewrite_log on;
        rewrite ^/horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync(.*)$ /horde/rpc.php$1 last;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /rampage.php?$args;

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                include sites-available/horde.fcgi-php.conf;
        }
}

horde.fcgi-php.conf

include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

fastcgi_params (default nginx)

fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;

The nginx log level is set to debug. The output after the request is:

2014/06/13 10:33:15 [notice] 17332#0: *1 "^/horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync(.*)$" matches "/horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync", client: XX.XX.XX.XX, server: example.com, request: "GET /horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync HTTP/1.1", host: "example.com"
2014/06/13 10:33:15 [notice] 17332#0: *1 rewritten data: "/horde/rpc.php", args: "", client: XX.XX.XX.XX, server: example.com, request: "GET /horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync HTTP/1.1", host: "example.com"

All this is happening on a RaspberryPi with Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (which is mainly a Debian Wheezy). So I guess the rewrite works but the php file is not processed?! Does anyone know where the problem is and how to fix it?

UPDATE: If I change the file rpc.php to mytest.php with this content:

<pre>
<?php var_export( $_SERVER ); ?>
</pre>

AND change the rewrite to

rewrite ^/horde/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync(.*)$ /horde/mytest.php$1 last;

I get the correct output:

array (
  'USER' => 'www-data',
  'HOME' => '/var/www',
  'FCGI_ROLE' => 'RESPONDER',
  'QUERY_STRING' => '',
  'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'GET',

  'REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT' => 1402664378.2101,
  'REQUEST_TIME' => 1402664378,
)

So why is the rpc.php not correctly working? If I understand correctly it tries to establish a basic authentication process. Could this be a problem?

After more trying and looking at logs (finally the right ones) I found my fault. After all it was a configuration error.

The Horde Wiki gives the hint in one single line:

To activate the server, it needs to be enabled in Horde's configuration, on the ActiveSync tab.

This one gives me the right direction: I searched in the configuration but could not found the ActiveSync stuff. So I digged deeper and ended up with the awareness that I did not install the library Horder_ActiveSync. :(

After doing a sudo pear install horde/horde_activesync and updating the database tables from the WebUI everything works now!

Hope this helps someone else.
