Question

I have nginx working with arch linux. I am having trouble adding php and fastcgi. I installed the php and php-fpm packages. php-fpm service is on. When I access a file with a php extension, the browser displays the nginx error page and I get the following nginx error log message added:

2013/01/02 22:39:43 [error] 721#0: *27 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.1.13, server: localhost, request: “GET /index.php HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000”, host: “192.168.1.19”

the contents of the php file seem to make no difference. I have been unable to locate php error log or create my own. I added the following to /etc/php/php.ini:

error_log = /var/log/php_error.log

and I made the file world writable but nothing goes there. I added the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

location ~ \.php$ {
            root           /usr/share/nginx/html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        #    fastcgi_index  index.php;
        #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
        #    include        fastcgi.conf;
        }

uncommenting the commented lines changes nothing. Commenting the uncommented lines changes the browser page displayed from error page to file not found page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I figured it out. I had to uncomment a line in the php-fpm.conf file to have fastcgi listen on the right port.
