Joomla and Nginx

Jose Garza
MemberHello Guv
I wanted to ask you is the Joomla on Nginx guide like months away or weeks away?
I wanted to install Joomla on Nginx but if the guide is not that far away I will wait.
Anyways not trying to hurry you or anything like that just wanted to know.
I decided to switch from Drupal to Joomla as I think it will be easier for me to get my site going on Joomla.

fair question .. particularly as you could be forgiven for thinking the homepage's "Upcoming Posts" section is, how shall we say, a little flexible :P
I do want to do this, and really it's a question of tweaking the vhost rewrite to fit with Joomla .. then again I feel the most pressing tuts are for:-
1. a comprehensive backup strategy, idealy automated with a stackscript so we can all be lazy
2. permissions uncovered.
(More pressing still is for a tweak of the PHP-FPM tut and an accompanying upgrade stackscript to automate recompiles.)
But Joomla is the most pressing of the platforms .. is the general consensus.
Besides all that, largely because I'm doing a lot of work with Apache at the moment, I've made outline notes for some Apache tutorials which this resource needs, not least of all so we can start properly comparing it with Nginx.
.. Realistically, how long can you wait? If it's weeks rather than months then it could be a go .. and the community at large is welcome to nag me. (My wife generally does, bless.)

MemberHey Guv
Those "more pressing" tutorials sound very interesting as well. Especially the backup one, very important. I have come to really appreciate these "stackscripts" that I have learned about here. I feel I have learned much here on your website and I give you thanks for that.
Regarding Joomla well.. I can wait a couple weeks. Well I actually might try to install it tomorrow on my own. If it all comes down to the vhost file then I might be able to pull it off as I seen some vhost file configurations for joomla on nginx online.
Only thing is that with a tutorial one has more trust that it is configured the right way. And that one can then proceed to the next step, going live or primetime with confidence.
Tomorrow I will give it a go and let you know how it goes.

Tx Jose,
But don't sweat it, one app is much like another .. except for the rewrite rules which can be tricky.
Check out the Add Sites Cheatsheet guide here, that may help.And you could always set up a test site first, get it working using a fake host call (add 12.34.56.78 mydomian.com to your local hosts file .. see the Moving Site tutorial for detail) .. then set it to live when you're happy.
And let me know .. tell me those holy grail rewrites that get the pretty links working :P

MemberI installed Joomla with the pretty urls.
I used the drupal vhost file from the drupal tutorial and it worked.I did run into some problems related with the php.ini file but I don't know how I fixed them. I just know it works now.
Some Joomla vhost configurations did the rewrites like this:
14 location / { 15 expires 30d; 16 error_page 404 = @joomla; 17 log_not_found off; 18 } view source print? 01 # Rewrite 02 location @joomla { 03 rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=last; 04 }But the one from the drupal tutorial seemed better:
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last; }So everything seems to work.

Jose, these rules are built into the FPM build but, nonetheless, there are some tweaks and a proper explanation of the php.ini that is on the way.
I'll be putting out some PHP updates about this shortly. In the meantime, any tweaks you add to php.ini will override those in-built by the compile command, so it still does its job as kingpin config.
