I have a Wordpress site running on Apache that is heavily overloaded, so I want to try replacing it with nginx/fastcgi to see if it would help.
I compiled spawn-fcgi and nginx configured a server that would run on port 81 as a test. When I try accessing the site, it says "Waiting for site" and never loads (and the access logs does not show anything)
I started spawn-cgi like so:
/usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 53217 -P /var/run/fastcgi-php.pid -- /usr/bin/php-cgi and here's my nginx config:
http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; #keepalive_timeout 0; keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81; server_name domain.com www.domain.com; access_log /home/domain.com/nginx.access.log; root /home/domain/public_html/; # absolute path to WordPress installation try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:53217; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/domain/public_html$fastcgi_script_name; } } } events { worker_connections 1024; } and finally, here is my fastcgi_params file:
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 $server_protocol; fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1; fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$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; Is there anything in my config that would stop me from serving a basic WP site? I'm running this on CentOS on a dedicated box.
