php POST can't create the link folder and the temporary file for the password (nginx / php-fpm)

[wilf1rst]

Hello, I tried to install my own pwx instance for work purpose. For testing purpose I disabled ssl mandatory from you app/config.php file. I use nginx as a web server with the following conf (example.com is replaced by my organization domain):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name pwx.example.com;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access-pwx.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error-pwx.log;

    root /var/www/pwx/web;
    index index.php;

    location ~* \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
    }
}

I assume that the POST is not working and failed to create the temporary file in link folder. I create the web/link folder, make my web server group the owner of this folder (and chmod 777 it to be sure for the test …). But I still have the same error:

Do you have any clue ?

Bests regards.

I answer myself... For nginx I have to convert the web/.htaccess rules. Using this tools http://www.anilcetin.com/ I find a way to get pwx working with nginx. So here's my nginx working configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name     pwx.example.com;

    access_log      /var/log/nginx/access-pwx.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/error-pwx.log;

    root /var/www/pwx/web;
    index index.php;

    location ~* \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
    }

    location / {
        if (!-f $request_filename){
            set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
        }
        if ($rule_0 = "1"){
            rewrite ^/ /index.php last;
        }
    }

    location ~ /\. {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        deny all;
    }

}

i know that for nginx "if is evil" but right now I don't find another solution to get pwx working.

Glad you figured this out. Have you had a look at the Silex documentation? I didn't modify the default .htaccess that shipped with Silex. I would assume their default nginx config should cover all the use cases too.

[wilf1rst]

Thanks for the link, that config works too. I haven't look at silex documentation because I don't know what to search, I don't even know silex before today :). By the way thanks for your tools it's very useful.

[MichaelThessel]

Sure thing, glad it works.
