Question

I’m setting up a nginx+php web server for local development with zend framework on Windows.
I usually just create a new folder in the www root for each project and then create a conf file to project rewrites.

The error here is that I can’t access to my static content. When I try to open an image file or css i got a 500 error. And i also dont thing my project conf is 100% correct.. :\

Can you guys help me?

These are my conf files:

fastcgi.conf

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
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_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  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

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

as far as i can see, it seems he is looking for the files in the wrong location.
The correct location for packs.png is: “D:\webserver/www/zproject/content/files/packs.png” and not “D:\webserver/html/….”

Answer 1

Ok, I just needed to add: root “D:\webserver\www”; to the main server configuration. Everything seems to be working as intended 🙂
