Nginx And Yii In Subdirectory

Good day.

Yii works under apache with minimal configuration needed, provided in installation documentations. Yii is in the subdirectory of /var/www/yii. Seems that php, php-fpm and nginx work, as other parts of site are working and phpinfo returns information.

Nginx conf:

user www-data;

worker_processes 4;

pid /run/nginx.pid;


events {

        worker_connections 768;

}

http {

        sendfile on;

        tcp_nopush on;

        tcp_nodelay on;

        keepalive_timeout 65;

        types_hash_max_size 2048;

        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

        default_type application/octet-stream;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        gzip on;

        gzip_disable "msie6";

        include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

        include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

}

Virtual server conf:

server {

    listen 8080;

    server_name daisy.fuentes;

    client_max_body_size 50m;

    set $yii_bootstrap "index.php";

    root /var/www/yii;


    location / {

      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME '';

      fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/daisy.fuentes/fuentes.socket;

    }


    location /static {

      root /var/www/daisy.fuentes/root;

      expires 30d;

    }


    location ~ /\.ht {

      deny all;

    }


    location ~ /yii/(protected|framework|nbproject) {

      deny all;

      access_log off;

      log_not_found off;

    }


    location ~ /yii/themes/\w+/views {

      deny all;

      access_log off;

      log_not_found off;

    }


    location /yii/ {

      index  $yii_bootstrap;

      try_files $uri /$uri/ /yii/$yii_bootstrap?$args;

    }


    location ~ /yii/.*\.php$ {

      fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;

      

      fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:19000;

      include fastcgi_params;

      

      set $fsn /$yii_bootstrap;

      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fsn;

      

      #PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED can be omitted, but RFC 3875 specifies them for CGI

      fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;

      fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED  $document_root$fsn;

    }

}

Perl catalyst is working OK, yii is not so lucky, I’m getting a lot of 404’s, no styles and seems, that no javascript

Typical example being

[21/Jun/2013:10:54:42 +0000] "GET /yii/css/common.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1572 "XXX/yii/index.php/site/login" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0"

Although the files are there, in this case the /yii/css/common.css, but my guess is, nginx rewrite somehow mangles the uri.

Any insights on how to get yii up and running in this configuration?

Greetings.

Ok, apache somehow works even if the files are owned by the root. Seems, that nginx is not working that way. Had to chown -R www-data:www-data yii directory.

Also ended up with this virtual server conf that works:

server {

    listen 80;

    server_name ur.mom;

    client_max_body_size 50m;


    root /var/www;


    charset utf-8;


    set $yii_bootstrap "index.php";


    location / {

      include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME '';

      fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/catalyst/catalyst.socket;

    }


    location /static {

      root /var/www/catalyst/root;

      expires 30d;

    }


    location /yii {

        index $yii_bootstrap;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /yii/$yii_bootstrap?$args;

    }


    location ~ /yii/.*\.php$ {

      fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;


      set $fsn /$yii_bootstrap;

      if (-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name){

          set $fsn $fastcgi_script_name;

      }


      #fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:19000;

      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/yii/yii.socket;

      include fastcgi_params;

      

      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fsn;

      fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;

      fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED  $document_root$fsn;

    }

}

Took me only two weeks and a lot of googling. Thank you for a lively discussion and support

I have a similar configuration when I was doing testing, perhaps you can also try this config, which embeds the second *.php location inside the /yii location:

    location /yii {

        index $yii_bootstrap;

        try_files $uri $uri/ /yii/$yii_bootstrap?$args;


      location ~ \.php$ {

        fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;


        set $fsn /$yii_bootstrap;

        if (-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name){

            set $fsn $fastcgi_script_name;

        }


        #fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:19000;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/www/yii/yii.socket;

        include fastcgi_params;

      

        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fsn;

        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;

        fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED  $document_root$fsn;

      }

  }

NB: for mine, as I’m on ubuntu, I use 127.0.0.1:9000 rather than socket configuration for php5-fpm
