Bug 501132 – www-servers/nginx - /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params should pass SCRIPT_FILENAME, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description A. Person 2014-02-12 23:16:14 UTC]

/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params should match the example given here:

http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample

It is missing the following:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;

php-fpm *does not* work for me without adding those lines.  There is another slight variation from the example above which I'm guessing is fine:

fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty;

This file must match upstream for *other* people's configs to work.

This behavior matches other distros, but not Debian, IIRC.

Leaving as UNCONFIRMED, but 95% sure this is WONTFIX.

Yep. I don't think we should touch upstream files unless were changing paths. Closing.

The root of the problem here was the erroneous nginx wiki.  I can confirm that those files do match upstream (but not the wiki).
