Installing Nginx With PHP5 (And PHP-FPM) On CentOS 6.0 problem

i followed your guide at http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-on-centos-6.0
i put my info.php file at /usr/share/nginx/html .
my nginx.conf file configuration is: (inside http block)

"server {
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}"

i run it on a virtual machine.

my /etc/hosts file is:

"127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6"

my "inet addr:192.168.0.17" .

and when i try localhost/info.php , firefox says:

"You have chosen to open
info.php
which is a: BIN file (20 bytes)
from: http://localhost
Would you like to save this file?"

how to solve this?
thanks a lot..

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

Can you post the contents of your info.php file?

 

output of netstat -tap

Code:

contents of /usr/share/nginx/html/info.php file

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

thanks

 

i think i solved

i tried to add

Code:

server_name localhost;

to my nginx.conf file's server block

Code:

server {
	server_name localhost;
        location / {
            root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
            index  index.html index.htm index.php;
        }
	location ~ \.php$ {
            root           html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }
    }

and it works.

actually i dont know much about nginx configuration. and dont understand why it didnt work and when i add it why it works?

when i add

Code:

server_name  _;

and restart nginx, it says:

Code:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart
nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "_" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
Stopping nginx:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting nginx: nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "_" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
                                                           [  OK  ]

and localhost/info.php doesnt work..
why it says so?

thanks..

 

You probably have another vhost that uses

Code:

server_name  _;

already.

You always need a server_name directive if you want to run multiple vhosts on the same IP because otherwise name-based vhosts don't work (nginx cannot know which vhost to display if there's no server_name directive).
