Magento on Nginx - Configuration [closed]

Question

I'm working on an nginx.conf for running Magento, the site mostly works, magento is run using php-fpm.

But some parts of it are still not working, and I've tried every wiki, blog, etc around the web.

My problem is that where ever I have a Javascript pop-up on CMS pages and blocks, mainly the tiny_mce WYSIWYG editor, (/js/tiny_mce/plugins/advimage/image.htm etc) they open a page not found.

I don't know what should I do so this editor displays correctly.

Also, the downloader doesn't display.

It seems that each of these use its own index.php inside a different folder than root, so should I change the index to that?

like $document_root/downloader/index.php ?

Answer 1

I HIGHLY suggest you read and follow the nginx primer by Martin Fjordvald.

I use the following configuration for Magento. It not only works great, it also turns off access_log for images, etc. and has a special php-fpm configuration. Please note that the server root is specified within the server block. Several configuration files incorrectly specify it within a location block.

Magento nginx configuration file: (Be sure to replace all paths and domain names accordingly)

server {
    listen 80;
    #listen 443 default ssl;
    server_name DOMAIN.COM;
    #rewrite requests to www
    rewrite ^ $scheme://www.DOMAIN.COM$request_uri permanent;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    #listen 443 default ssl;
    #ssl_certificate /path/to/ssl.crt;
    #ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl.key;

    server_name www.DOMAIN.COM;
    # most likely /var/www/...
    root /path/to/files;

    include /etc/nginx/restrictions.conf;

    location / {
        index index.php;
        if ($request_uri ~* "\.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$") {
            access_log off;
            expires max;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ @handler;
    }

    # protect directories
    location /app/ {
        deny all;
    }
    location /includes/ {
        deny all;
    }
    location /lib/ {
        deny all;
    }
    location /lib/minify/ {
        allow all;
    }
    location /media/downloadable/ {
        deny all;
    }
    location /pkginfo/ {
        deny all;
    }
    location /report/config.xml {
        deny all;
    }
    location /var/ {
        deny all;
    }

    location /var/export/ {
        # restrict access to admins
        auth_basic "Restricted";
        auth_basic_user_file htpasswd;
        autoindex on;
    }

    location @handler {
        rewrite ^(.*) /index.php?$1 last;
    }

    # include php specific configuration
    include /etc/nginx/php.conf;
}

This is a php-fpm specific configuration file which intercepts error codes and splits the path info correctly so you have access to the correct path parts in PHP. I also use a Unix socket rather than a port due to performance improvements. Also note that you don't need to repeat the fastcgi_params already specified in fastcgi_params.

fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

# this will allow Nginx to intercept 4xx/5xx error codes
# Nginx will only intercept if there are error page rules defined
# -- This is better placed in the http {} block as a default
# -- in that virtual host's server block

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    # A handy function that became available in 0.7.31 that breaks down 
    # The path information based on the provided regex expression
    # This is handy for requests such as file.php/some/paths/here/ 

    include fastcgi_params;

    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/phpfpm.sock;
}

My fastcgi_params configuration file is optimized for a small server (<1GB RAM). Be sure to adjust yours according to your server's performance:

fastcgi_param    QUERY_STRING        $query_string;
fastcgi_param    REQUEST_METHOD        $request_method;
fastcgi_param    CONTENT_TYPE        $content_type;
fastcgi_param    CONTENT_LENGTH        $content_length;

fastcgi_param    SCRIPT_FILENAME        $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param    SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param    REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
fastcgi_param    DOCUMENT_URI        $document_uri;
fastcgi_param    DOCUMENT_ROOT        $document_root;
fastcgi_param    SERVER_PROTOCOL        $server_protocol;

fastcgi_param    GATEWAY_INTERFACE    CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param    SERVER_SOFTWARE        nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param    REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param    REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
fastcgi_param    SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
fastcgi_param    SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
fastcgi_param    SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param    REDIRECT_STATUS        200;

fastcgi_connect_timeout 90;
fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
fastcgi_read_timeout 360;
fastcgi_buffer_size 1024k;
fastcgi_buffers 8 512k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 1024k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 1024k;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass_header *;

We have magento installed to mydomain.com/store, and we use next config for nginx:

server {
    listen          <needed ip(s)>:80;
    server_name     mydomain.com;
    root            /www/mydomain;

    location ~ /\. {
        deny all;
    }


    location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
        access_log        off;
        expires           30d;
    }

    location /store/ {
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/store/index.php;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME /store/index.php;

        fastcgi_index   index.php;
    }

    location /store/static/ { }
    location /store/skin/ { }
    location /store/media/ { }

    location /store/errors/ { }

    location ~* /store/errors/.*\.xml$ { deny all; }
    location ~* /store/errors/.*\.phtml$ { deny all; }
    location ~* /store/errors/.*\.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME /store/errors$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    }

    location /store/js/ { }

    location ~* /store/js/.*\.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/store/js$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME /store/js$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    }
}
