Changing document source root on nginx + hhvm?

Question

I'm tring to configure hhvm and nginx to work on php files at /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.com directory

• first i installed hhvm and nginx from apt get and it's works fine from default directory

• then i change fastcgi config of /etc/nginx/hhvm.conf from

  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

to

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.com$fastcgi_script_name; 

then i add source root to vim /etc/hhvm/server.ini

hhvm.server.source_root = /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.come 

then restarted both nginx and hhvm but still I'm getting php file from default web root not from /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.come

here is config file for virtual host

 server { listen 80; server_name www.mysite.se; access_log /var/log/www.mysite.se.access_log; error_log /var/log/www.mysite.se.error_log; location / { root /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.se; index index.php index.htm; if (!-f $request_filename){ set $rule_1 1$rule_1; } if (!-d $request_filename){ set $rule_1 2$rule_1; } if ($rule_1 = "21"){ rewrite /. /index.php last; } } #include hhvm.conf; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_keep_conn on; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.se$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } } 

when i did a request html files get load from /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.se without a problem but php files get load from default nginx folder

The problem in on nginx site configuration file

the root need to be in server block not the location block.

Fore those you are willing to configure nginx with hhvm here is how to do it.

I remanded for you to use ubuntu.

• sudo su <- to get root accsess
• apt-get install nginx
• wget http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hhvm/hhvm_3.2.0~trusty_amd64.deb <- download based on os version
• dpkg -i hhvm_3.2.0~trusty_amd64.deb <- current production with is 3.3.0 has a issue in xml bug https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/3797
• if you need to send out email smtp mail not yet work on hhvm
• apt-get install sendmail
• now configure nginx virtual host config then it's need to work

server { listen 80;

server_name www.mysite.se; root /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.se; access_log /var/log/www.mysite.se.access_log; error_log /var/log/www.mysite.se.error_log; location / { index index.php index.htm; if (!-f $request_filename){ set $rule_1 1$rule_1; } if (!-d $request_filename){ set $rule_1 2$rule_1; } if ($rule_1 = "21"){ rewrite /. /index.php last; } } #include hhvm.conf; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_keep_conn on; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/ubuntu/www/www.mysite.se$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } }
