How to make Zend 2 and Nginx work?

Question

I'm trying to make my Zend2 Application to work with Nginx instead of Apache.

I googled the WWW for a solution but haven't found a thing regarding Zend 2 and Nginx, all I found were some old old post on how to make the older zend (1) framework work with nginx.

As with all the new zend 2 application I tried to point my nginx config to /projectdir/public and I tried several other ways with making a symbolic link from /projectdir/public to /usr/share/nginx/www but it just won't work.

PHP5FPM is installed and configured, phpinfo() works.

This is how my last try on making things work looks like...

Here's my /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

server { listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied #listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6 root /usr/share/nginx/www/; index index.php index.html index.htm; # Make site accessible from http://localhost/ server_name _; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules } location /doc/ { alias /usr/share/doc/; autoindex on; allow 127.0.0.1; allow ::1; deny all; } # Only for nginx-naxsi used with nginx-naxsi-ui : process denied requests #location /RequestDenied { # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; #} error_page 404 /404.html; # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html # error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; #location = /50x.html { # root /usr/share/nginx/www; #} #pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 # location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini # With php5-cgi alone: # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # With php5-fpm: fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/evils/projects/zendCodeGit/public$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } } 

I already tried to put in an extra location /public/ with the right root, but I think I'm missing either some configuration work or something else.

I already executed the php composer.phar install command.

OS is Ubuntu 12.04

Edit:

Here's the last error log

Answer 1

PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend\Uri\Exception\InvalidUriPartException' with message 'Host "_" is not valid or is not accepted by Zend\Uri\Http 

Zend doesn't like your server_name:

server_name _; 

Change it to something else like "localhost".

Answer 2

A more general solution would be:

fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host; 

This way, SERVER_NAME would actually hold the value of the host header from the request. This is also useful when you have multiple server names defined or you are using wildcards
