Magento installation problem on Nginx in Windows
- by Nithin
I am trying to install magento locally using nginx as the web server instead of Apache. I copied the magento folder to the html directory. When i try to call the magento folder, I get the 404 not found error. I am able to access other php files setup in the html folder and have PHP installed. Here is my config file:
#user  nobody;
worker_processes  1;
#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;
#pid        logs/nginx.pid;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    #log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
    #                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
    #                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;
    sendfile        on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;
    #gzip  on;
    server {
        listen       8080;

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm index.php;
        }
        #error_page  404              /404.html;
        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        #
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
            allow all;
        }
        # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
        #
        #location ~ \.php$ {
        #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;

        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

            root           html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  c:/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }
        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #

        #    deny  all;
        #}
    }
    # another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration

    #server {

    #    location / {

    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}
    # HTTPS server
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       443;
    #    server_name  localhost;

    #    ssl_certificate      cert.pem;

    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}
}
How do I fix this? This is what I found in the error.log file : 
2011/09/06 12:22:35 [error] 5632#0: *1
"/cygdrive/c/nginx/html/magento/index.php/install/index.html" is not
