Problems installing Mollify

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I have installed Mollify with Nginx, PHP 5.4.34 (php-fpm - FPM/FastCGI) and 
MySQL 5.5.40 as per the instructions in your wiki. 

The database is setup and I even ran the /backend/install/ script and it ran 
successfully and I configured the admin user.

Now when I hit http://localhost:8080/. I see a message which says "Failed to 
initialize Mollify". I also get a popup which says "Request failed". 

When I see the network tab in Chrome Developer Tools I see a request to 
/backend/r.php/session/info which has returned a 404. 

I see the following message in my nginx error log file:

2014/11/05 18:48:39 [error] 3576#0: *39 open() 
"/var/www/backend/r.php/session/info" failed (20: Not a directory), client: 
10.0.2.2, server: mollify, request: "GET /backend/r.php/session/info HTTP/1.1", 
host: "localhost:8080", referrer: "http://localhost:8080/"

Can someone please help?

Regards,
Ranganath Kini

It seems like your server does not like the REST kind of URL formatting, for 
example "/backend/r.php/session/info"

The point here is that PHP should execute "backend/r.php" and process query 
with path "/session/info". Your server seems to complain that resource 
"/backend/r.php/session/info" does not exist, and it certainly does not.

I can't remember there being another case where this does not work, so I don't 
know what to do about it. Most likely it is configuration issue, but cannot 
tell what to change.

Another possibility would be to change the URL syntax to something like 
"/backend/r.php?p=/session/info", but this is not as clean as I'd like (would 
have to be configuration option to choose this is have to) and would require 
changes in both sides, client and server so that URLs are generated and parsed 
accordingly.

"Request failed", but I don't get qany errors in Apache access log:

#2: Don't look at the Apache access logs, it simply lists requests made through 
Apache, but this is not about Apache. Look at the PHP error log.

The initial issue will not be handled, this is the only time I have heard this, 
and it sounds like server configuration issue. Second comment is too vague to 
handle, if there is more info it should be opened as separate issue.
