My ultimate goal is to setup ikiwiki, my current goal is to get a fcgi wrapper working for nginx, so I can move on to the next step...
The ikiwiki page points out this page as an example for a fcgi wrapper:
http://technotes.1000lines.net/?p=23
So far I've installed the ikiwiki and libfcgi-perl modules through aptitude:
aptitude install libfcgi-perl
aptitude install ikiwiki
It installed those packages as well as some minimal dependency packages.
So the next step following the guide at technotes, I grabbed http://technotes.1000lines.net/fastcgi-wrapper.pl but I'm not sure where to actually place this file... do I run it as a service?
The script makes a socket file in /var/run/nginx but that directory does not exist.. do I manually create it?
So in addition to the .pl file for the cgi wrapper, I need to also define a separate cgi file for parameters. If my conf looks like this...
server {
listen 80;
server_name notes.domain.org;
access_log /www/notes/public_html/notes.domain.org/log/access.log;
error_log /www/notes/public_html/notes.domain.org/log/error.log;
location / {
root /www/notes/public_html/notes.domain.org/public/;
index index.html;
}
}
And I don't have a cgi-bin directory, where exactly should I create it within my structure, and regarding that I'd obviously have to update the below before I include it in my conf, but I'm just not exactly sure how this would work out.
# /cgi-bin configuration
location ~ ^/cgi-bin/.*\.cgi$ {
gzip off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/nginx/perl_cgi-dispatch.sock; [1]*
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /www/blah.com$fastcgi_script_name; [2]*
include fastcgi_params; [3]*
}
Also since the user is www-data and /var/run is root owned, what's the proper way of giving it access?
Any tips appreciated.
