Hi! While installing nginx (currently using ~), regardless of USE flags, fastcgi.conf fastcgi_params scgi_params uwsgi_params are created. Please also note that fastcgi.conf and fastcgi_params have the same content and they are not symbolic links. I think factcgi.conf and fastcgi_params should be put in nginx dir only while using nginx_modules_http_fastcgi; scgi_params only with nginx_modules_http_scgi; uwsgi_params only with nginx_modules_http_uwsgi. Those files are not required by nginx.conf (they are only used after manual edits) and without approperiate module they are useless. Also those files should have same name conception so they should be named fastcgi.conf scgi.conf uwsgi.conf or fastcgi_params scgi_params uwsgi_params. Thanks.
1: Not installing scgi* if its not used is a good idea 2: I think its a bit risky to choose a convention of removal, since peoples configs might rely on either. Patch for #1?
I've started to work on this. As stated above, I won't touch fastcgi* stuff (as in removing one or symlinking one to the other), as they actually differ (below), and for reasons mentioned in my previous comment diff -u fastcgi* --- fastcgi.conf 2013-08-07 01:58:40.000000000 +1000 +++ fastcgi_params 2013-08-07 01:58:40.000000000 +1000 @@ -1,5 +1,4 @@ -fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
We've been doing this for a while -- see: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-servers/nginx/nginx-1.5.7-r1.ebuild?revision=1.1&view=markup, line 271. Keen on closing after this. Thoughts?
Marking as closed. I'm happy enough with the end result.
