PFC on Nginx

[baldodavi]

Hi, I'm trying to install PFC 2.0 on Nginx.

I've some issues on data folders creation (users,channels,...).
I do not understand some things:
1. Why pfc search auth folder in server folder and not in server/data (as you can see in attached image)
2. Why pfc fails to create folders on server or data, nginx user can create folders in both places and Ive assigned 777 mod to all directories.

Any idea?
Thanks, David.

I've some news.
I've trying to install PFC in same machine using APACHE instead NGINX.
Seems had same problems in generating folders.
Installing on my pc all seems ok.
We are using PHP 5.4.9 version.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot, David.

1) Cause it uses rewrite rules defined in .htaccess located in the server/ folder. Here is the file source code: https://github.com/kerphi/phpfreechat/b ... /.htaccess
So it means that you need to have mod_rewrite enable or these rules will not be taken into account. I suppose other kind of configuration is needed on Nginx but as I don't know this software, don't hesitate to shere with us your config it you find something.

2) Don't know why. Could you give me a SSH or FTP access on your server to debug it ?

I had a problem with this too, but I don't think it's related to file permissions.

Seems related to .htaccess usage and configuration on Apache.
Our admin is sure this application cannot run under Nginx cause usage of .htaccess in application.
We resolved using and internal apache instance interfaced with nginx.

Thanks, David.

Sure but i'm sure we could make it work on Nginx cause .htaccess can be translated to Nginx config... If someone know both software he could help us.

I would fire you admin! And hire me!

Here's nginx conf:

Code: Select all

location /phpfreechat-2.0.5/server {
    rewrite ^/phpfreechat-2.0.5/server/(.*)$ /phpfreechat-2.0.5/server/index.php last;
}

That's all Folks!

Thank you smail01, do you know if it's possible to parameter Nginx with a .htaccess file equivalent ?
Or are you obliged to insert this configuration in your system's config ?
