When I did a curl -v http://site-wordpress.com:81 I received this result:

• About to connect() to site-wordpress.com port 81 (#0)
• Trying ip... connected
• Connected to site-wordpress.com (ip) port 81 (#0)

Seems like this line in my fastcgi_params is causing grief.

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

If I remove this line , I get HTTP/1.1 200 OK but I get a blank page.

This is my config:

server { listen 81; server_name site-wordpress.com; root /var/www/html/site; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; index index.php; if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php break; }

location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;  # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
            }

location ~ \.css {
             add_header Content-Type text/css;
             }

location ~ \.js {
            add_header Content-Type application/x-javascript;
            }

}

This config works with ip and port 80. But now I need to use a domain name and port 81, which doesn't work. Could someone please help. Thanks.
