The full configuration is here, let's explain it later.
```php
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
charset utf-8;
access_log logs/example.access.log main;
location / {
root /home/yeegt/yiigt;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ ^/protected/ {
deny all;
}
location ~*.(js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico)$ {
root /home/example/yii-app;
expires 356d;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root /home/example/yii-app;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9010;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/example/yii-app$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
set $path_info $request_uri;
if ($request_uri ~ "^(.*)(\?.*)$") {
set $path_info $1;
}
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
}
}
```
is config is built on an Ubuntu 11.04 server.
Software is nginx, php-fpm (php5-fpm).
For performance, it's recommended to run php-fpm in SOCKET mode, instead of accessing via IP:PORT. That is the method shown below.
~~~
# Implement upstream connection to PHP-FPM
# "phpfpm" here is a name for this upstream connection, which you can customize
# I create a custom upstream connection per vhost, to better segregate PHP processes by vhost
# To do the same, you need a unique upstream name, and a unique filename for your php5-fpm.sock file
upstream phpfpm {
#server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
#avoid sockets for nginx-fpm on Linux, they are good for BSD
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
server {
# Listening on port 80 without an IP address is only recommended if you are not running multiple v-hosts
#listen 80;
# Bind to the public IP bound to your domain
listen 123.456.789.012:80;
# Specify this vhost's domain name
server_name mydomainname.com;
root /var/www/mydomainname.com/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
# Specify log locations for current site
access_log /var/www/mydomainname.com/log/access.log;
error_log /var/www/mydomainname.com/log/error.log warn;
# Typically I create a restrictions.conf file that I then include across all of my vhosts
#include conf.d/restrictions.conf;
# I've included the content of my restrictions.conf in-line for this example
# BEGIN restrictions.conf
# Disable logging for favicon
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
# Disable logging for robots.txt
location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
# Deny all attempts to access hidden files such as .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store (Mac).
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
# END restrictions.conf
# Typically I create a yiiframework.conf file that I then include across all of my yii vhosts
#include conf.d/yiiframework.conf;
# I've included the content of my yiiframework.conf in-line for this example
# BEGIN yiiframework.conf
# Block access to protected, framework, and nbproject (artifact from Netbeans)
location ~ /(protected|framework|nbproject) {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
# Block access to theme-folder views directories
location ~ /themes/\w+/views {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
# Attempt the uri, uri+/, then fall back to yii's index.php with args included
# Note: old examples use IF statements, which nginx considers evil, this approach is more widely supported
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
# END yiiframework.conf
# Tell browser to cache image files for 24 hours, do not log missing images
# I typically keep this after the yii rules, so that there is no conflict with content served by Yii
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires 24h;
log_not_found off;
}
# Block for processing PHP files
# Specifically matches URIs ending in .php
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
# Fix for server variables that behave differently under nginx/php-fpm than typically expected
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# Include the standard fastcgi_params file included with nginx
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_index index.php;
# Override the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable set by fastcgi_params
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
# Pass to upstream PHP-FPM; This must match whatever you name your upstream connection
fastcgi_pass phpfpm;
}

PHP-FPM config is below, have not had to optimize settings yet as they work fine for my usage.
Replace any instance of USER,GROUP with the user and group you want to run the website under.
Typical is www-data in Ubuntu.
