How to have InDefero running on Nginx HTTP Server

Directory structure example

/home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/indefero/...
/home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/pluf/...
/home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/public/...

In the public folder, you may use symlink to indefero public folder :

index.php -> ../indefero/www/index.php
media -> ../indefero/www/media/

VHost example with PHP fast-cgi

server {
        listen 80;

        server_name www.mydomain.com;

        client_max_body_size 2m;

        access_log /home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/log/access.log;
        error_log /home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/log/error.log;

        root   /home/myuser/public_html/mydomain.com/public/;

        location / {

                        index  index.php;

                        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?_pluf_action=/$uri&$args;
        }

        location = /index.php {
                        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                        fastcgi_index index.php;
                        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                        #expires max
        }
}

Tips

• expires max should be commented as Indefero handle the cache itself

• This configuration works without rewrite rule (which requires an expensive If clause). For beautiful URLs you still have to set

$cfg['idf_base'] = '';
$cfg['url_base'] = 'http://www.mydomain.com';

in your src/IDF/conf/idf.php file.

• The location statement is "unusual" in that it hardcodes the single php entry file we provide. This avoids issues for paths like http://example.net/p/chf/source/tree/HEAD/index.php (which would match the .php$ clauses typical for nginx configs), and prevents any security issue due to user uploads (eg. to attachments/
