Nginx + PHP (PHPMYADMIN)

I'm attempting to get phpmyadmin working alongside nginx. I used the below guide on 'Installing nginx from the Source Distribution':

http://library.linode.com/web-servers/n … an-5-lenny">http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/installation/debian-5-lenny

As I only intend to use one website, with a single IP, I have my nginx path as /opt/nginx and my site files located in /opt/nginx/html on the VPS.

I have phpmyadmin installed. I placed a link to /usr/share/phpmyadmin in /opt/nginx/html.

Here is my [broken] site as it stands currently (html files work fine, but not php):

http://****.net/noname.php (test php file)

http://****.net/phpmyadmin (link to /usr/share/phpmyadmin)

My nginx.conf:

#user  nobody;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        #charset koi8-r;

        #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

        location / {
            root   /opt/nginx/html;
            index  index.html index.htm index.php;
        }

        #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   /opt/nginx/html;
        }

        # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {
        #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
        #}

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        #
        location ~ \.php$ {
            root           /opt/nginx/html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        #location ~ /\.ht {
        #    deny  all;
        #}
    }

    # another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       8000;
    #    listen       somename:8080;
    #    server_name  somename  alias  another.alias;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}

    # HTTPS server
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       443;
    #    server_name  localhost;

    #    ssl                  on;
    #    ssl_certificate      cert.pem;
    #    ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;

    #    ssl_session_timeout  5m;

    #    ssl_protocols  SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1;
    #    ssl_ciphers  ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP;
    #    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers   on;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}

}

Would greatly appreciate some assistance from you fine folks.

Thank you.

That "No input file specified" error usually means that you're setting the wrong value to the SCRIPT_FILENAME parameter.

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name; 

Is there actually a directory named /scripts where you're keeping all your PHP files?

If not, change to:

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /opt/nginx/html$fastcgi_script_name; 

or wherever your PHP files are. (It's not relative to the document root.)

Worked. :)

I somehow overlooked that.

Thank you.
