(Sorry, this was initially posted in the standard wordpress forums...)
Hey, I recently installed Wordpress MU on an NGINX webserver and after much trial and error, everything is working beautifully
(This install for WPMU is hosted under a subdomain and will use a subdirectory structure for the blogs).
Note: Initially I had to add in / to
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
in wp-config.php to fix up the fatal error below:
Could Not Find Blog!
Searched for blog.domain.com in database name
Then, my problems were with my nginx configuration.
I played a lot with various rewrite options and debugged wordpress for several hours.
In the end thanks to this blog entry I realised that I had setup my location ~ \.php$ { configuration was wrong.
I needed this setup:
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
root /usr/share/wpmu;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/blogpath$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
}
And with that setup I found that the nginx rewrite rules in the Codex worked perfectly.
Good luck getting WPMU installed
