I try to set up my mangeto website with nginx but I don't succeed to do it. I followed this tutorial : http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/configuring_nginx_for_magento
Here my configuration :
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mydomainname.com *.mydomainname.com;
root /var/www/mydomainname/web;
index index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml;
default_type application/octet-stream;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /app.php?$query_string /index.php?$query_string;
}
location /dev {
auth_basic "Restricted Area";
auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;
try_files $uri $uri/ /dev/index.php;
}
location ^~ /app/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /includes/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /lib/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /media/downloadable/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /pkginfo/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /report/config.xml { deny all; }
location ^~ /var/ { deny all; }
location /var/export/ { ## Allow admins only to view export folder
auth_basic "Restricted"; ## Message shown in login window
auth_basic_user_file htpasswd; ## See /etc/nginx/htpassword
autoindex on;
}
location /. { ## Disable .htaccess and other hidden files
return 404;
}
location @handler { ## Magento uses a common front handler
rewrite / /index.php;
}
location ~ .php/ { ## Forward paths like /js/index.php/x.js to relevant handler
rewrite ^(.*.php)/ $1 last;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
I can access to mydomainname.com but when I tried to launch an install of magento in subfolder mydomainname.com/dev/ it's not working. My webbrowser download the php file instead of execute it. And when I changed root with /var/www/mydomainname/web/dev/ it's working. Do you see why?
