Include example nginx configuration

[doherty]

Here's my naive translation of the .htaccess RewriteRules you include. There might be a more nginx-y way of getting the same effect, but this appears to work.

server {
    listen *:80;
    server_name tweets.mikedoherty.ca;

    root /var/www/tweets.mikedoherty.ca/tweetnest;
    index index.php;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/tweets.mikedoherty.ca.access.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/tweets.mikedoherty.ca.error.log;

    location /sort {
        rewrite ^/sort /sort.php last;
    }
    location /favourites {
        rewrite ^/favourites /favorites.php last;
    }
    location /favorites {
        rewrite ^/favorites /favorites.php last;
    }
    location /search {
        rewrite ^/search /search.php last;
    }
    if ($uri ~ ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$) {
        rewrite ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /month.php?y=$1&m=$2 last;
    }
    if ($uri ~ ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$) {
        rewrite ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /day.php?y=$1&m=$2&d=$3 last;
    }
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_pass php-fcgi;
    }
    include w3ctc.conf;
}

That's a bit messy! :)

Here's what I got running on http://nest.levifig.com

server {
  server_name  nest.levifig.com;
  root   /var/www/levifig.com/subdomains/nest;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/nest.levifig.access.log;

  include /etc/nginx/includes/serve_static;
  include /etc/nginx/includes/serve_php;

  rewrite ^/sort/?$ /./sort.php last;
  rewrite ^/favorites/?$ /./favorites.php last;
  rewrite ^/search/?$ /./search.php last;
  rewrite ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /./month.php?y=$1&m=$2;  rewrite ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /./day.php?y=$1&m=$2&d=$3;
}

That's it! :)
I included 2 config files. Here they are:

include/serve_static (not required at all)

# Serve static files... FAST!!!!
location ~* ^.+\.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|gz|svg|svgz|ttf|otf|woff|eot|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm)$ {
  expires 30d;
  log_not_found off;
}

location = /favicon.ico {
  log_not_found off;
  access_log off;
}

location = /robots.txt {  allow all;
  log_not_found off;
  access_log off;
}

include/serve_php (standard - required)

# Send PHP request to our PHP-FPM
location ~ \.php$ {
  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
  #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
  fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
  # Change this to the host:port where your PHP-FPM is listening
  # By the way, this is the default
  fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
  fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
  fastcgi_read_timeout 180;  fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;  fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
  fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
  fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}

I separate the PHP includes because that way I can just add that one line to any server to add PHP support across any of my config files! :)

Hope this helps!

I'm not going to include this in the repository because even though I like nginx very much, not everybody uses it, and I want to keep the repository slim. However, @levifig, if you can clean your submitted config file (removing the parts with your username and local directory structure, etc.) and post it somewhere on the interwebs, I will happily link that from the Tweet Nest site. Thanks, guys! :)
