Moving /backuppc ?

[Nachtexpress]

Hi!

First of all, your script works for me, thanks a lot for that!. However, as soon as I try to adapt this to my more specific wishes, I run into problems, namely a http 502 "bad gateway" error.

I'd like to set up my backuppc server to serve multiple other, partially custom services as well, e.g. "service-x","service-y","service-z" in nginx.

Those services are all stored in /srv/nginx/http_root/service{x,y,z}/ and should show up again as http://server/service-x/ http://server/service-y/ http://server/service-z/ next to http://server/backuppc/

However, as stated, backuppc throws a 502 bad gateway error.

I also tried reverse proxying using proxy_pass, however didn't succeed.

Can you help me?

To join this with your backuppc configuration I created something like

---

server { listen 80; server_name localhost; root /srv/nginx/http_root;

    location / {
            index   index.php;
    }

    location /index.cgi {
            rewrite        ^ http://$server_name/backuppc/$request_uri? permanent;
    }

location /backuppc { auth_basic "BackupPC admin"; auth_basic_user_file /etc/backuppc/htpasswd; alias /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/; index /index.cgi; }

location ~.cgi$ { gzip off; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; fastcgi_index BackupPC_Admin; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin$fastcgi_script_name; }

    #restrict access to dokuwiki data directories
    location ~ ^/dokuwiki/(data|conf|bin|inc)/ {
        deny all;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fastcgi/php-fastcgi.socket;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /dmtc/hst_srv/nginx/http_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
            deny  all;
    }

}

Hi, I'll try to manage that on weekend

Thank you very much!

Hi, Nachtexpress despite I had no chance to get to my home workstation these weekend, I suggest you to try this single for all instances config.

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name localhost; 
  root /srv/nginx/http_root/;

  /* auth is common for all services */
  auth_basic "BackupPC admin";
  auth_basic_user_file /etc/backuppc/htpasswd;

  location /service-x {
    /* logs are unique for each service */
    access_log /var/log/nginx/service-x.access_log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/service-x.error_log;

    alias /service-x/cgi-bin/;
    index /index.cgi;
  }

  location /service-y {
    access_log /var/log/nginx/service-y.access_log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/service-y.error_log;
    alias /service-y/cgi-bin/;
    index /index.cgi;
  }

  location / {
    access_log /var/log/nginx/backuppc.access_log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/backuppc.error_log;
    alias /cgi-bin/;
    index /index.cgi;
  }

  location  ~\.cgi$ {
    gzip off;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
    fastcgi_index BackupPC_Admin;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/nginx/http_root/cgi-bin$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
}

Hi!

I didn't manage to get it to work using your config, but it helped me understand my problem better and I managed to get it working.

The following config is for anybody with the same wished configuration:

nginx serves all contents in /srv/nginx/http_root/* recursively on http://localhost/*, and backuppc is linked in to http://localhost/backuppc (although not placed within the http_root)

First of all, create the new directory http_root/backuppc and place a symbolic link to the backuppc CGI script, so the directory structure looks like this:

/http_root# ls backuppc dokuwiki index.php phpvirtualbox

/http_root# ls -l backuppc/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jun 20 13:48 backuppc/index.cgi -> /usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi

The following works to serve this use-case:

server {

    listen          80;
    server_name     localhost; # auf welche per DNS verlinkten domains soll in dieser Konfig geantwortet werden?
    root            /srv/nginx/http_root;
    access_log      /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log       /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;

    #later:  common auth for all services
    #auth_basic "BackupPC admin";
    #auth_basic_user_file /etc/backuppc/htpasswd;

    location / {
            index   index.php       index.html  index.htm;
    }

    location /backuppc {
            auth_basic      "BackupPC admin";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/backuppc/htpasswd;
            alias           /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/;
            index           /backuppc/index.cgi;
            access_log      /var/log/nginx/backuppc-access.log;
            error_log       /var/log/nginx/backuppc-error.log notice;
    }

    location  /backuppc/index.cgi {
        gzip off;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
        fastcgi_index BackupPC_Admin;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin$fastcgi_script_name;
        access_log      /var/log/nginx/backuppc-access.log;
        error_log       /var/log/nginx/backuppc-error.log notice;
    }

    location ~ ^/dokuwiki/(data|conf|bin|inc)/ {
        deny all;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fastcgi/php-fastcgi.socket;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/nginx/http_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
            deny  all;
    }
