Nginx – How to get PHP 5.3.3 working with Nginx on CentOS 5.5

centosnginxPHPphp-fpm

I have installed Engine X and PHP 5.3.3 from source onto a CentOS 5.5 server. I think everything went well from the installs and Engine X does serve static files OK.

When trying to access a basic php file though, it serves the php code as plain text.

The Engine X error log shows:

2010/09/23 20:49:35 [error] 3331#0: *6 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while
connecting to upstream, client: my.local.ip, server: the_server,
request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000",
host: "the.servers.ip"

And my configuration file reads:

server {
   listen *:80;

   location ~ \.php$
   {
       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/default$fastcgi_script_name;
       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
       include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
   }
}

Ensure php-fpm is running (ps auxw | grep php or any number of ways)
Ensure php-fpm is actually listening on 9000. (check the configs)
Ensure your software firewall isn't blocking loopback connections on 9000.

I'm not an nginx guy, but the error message is pretty clear: nobody's answering the phone at 127.0.0.1:9000

By default the Nginx source does not define SCRIPT_FILENAME in the fastcgi_params file, so unless the repo you installed Nginx from does that you need to do it yourself.

Check if the following line is in your fastcgi_params file:

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

and if not then add it.

Nginx + PHP-fastcgi + MySQL on CentOS: 502 Bad Gateway in all files with MySQL connection

Looks like PHP won't able to connect to MySQL dispute which http server you use and the way you ling php to http server.

First, check if your MySQL is running and listen at all (you may forget to run it). Simply run mysql from CLI, and see if it connects. You may need to use -h host key to point mysql client to right host.

Then, try to run the simplest script (like

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('hostname', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

so you'll see what's the error. If your MySQL listen on localhost (127.0.0.1), then use 'localhost' as hostname ('hostname' in the example), if it listen in socket, then use socket path (something like ':/tmp/mysql').

Good luck!
