Nginx – error 200#0: *79 FastCGI sent in stderr: “Primary script unknown” while reading response header from upstream,

mac-osxnginxPHP

I want to configure new nginx on my MAC but I got always get [error] 200#0: *79 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown".. I don't know what Im doing wrong with config. This is my nginx.conf file: 

#user  RobDee;
worker_processes  auto;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;
pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

        fastcgi_index  /Users/RobDee/workspace/beer/web/app_dev.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 3000;

    }
    }

    include servers/*;

    }

Maybe someone will see some errors in my conf.

"Primary script unknown" almost always means that the value for SCRIPT_FILENAME is wrong.

The problem is likely these three lines:

root /Users/RobDee/workspace/beer/web;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
include        fastcgi_params;

You set the $document_root, then hardwire it as /scripts. Which is it?

In a normal nginx server block, you would set the root once near the top of the server block and allow all (or most) location blocks to inherit the same value. Only override where necessary. See this document for details.

The usual format for SCRIPT_FILENAME is either of these:

fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;

Which in your configuration would equate to the same value. Notice that $document_root is defined by the value of the root directive.

Finally, including fastcgi_params last may or may not be ok. In some versions of fastcgi_params there may be conflicting definitions for fastcgi_param statements you have explicitly defined. You should always include the file before explicit fastcgi_param statements.

For example:

server {
    ...
    root /Users/RobDee/workspace/beer/web;
    ...
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        include        fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $request_filename;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 3000;
    }
}

The fastcgi_index directive has no meaning in this context.
