php not working with nginx on debian squeezed Dockstar

Hi,

I installed nginx and php following several tutos, and the result is always the same: I can't have the phpinfo page displaying, though the appropriate document in created in /var/www, and php is installed.
When I try to go to http://my_DS_address/info.php, I have a nice error 404 message...

Any clue on how to track the cause of the problem, and how to solve it?

Since it is Debian (I'm assuming you used the standard Debian Armel stuff, rather than any self-made Buildroot image, or some other distro), you may get best results by looking at bug reports via the Debian Package page for the packages in question (php, nginx, etc.).

You should be mindful of whether you have Wheezy or Squeeze installed.

Works fine for me for several years now on Sid, and on my router.
I love nginx! Apache is way too much of a pig. It barely runs on plugs, and won't work at all on a router.

You need to be using php-fpm. You have to configure nginx and php before they will work together. It's not just a matter of installing the packages. There are countless tutorials out there on how to do it. The nginx site has good info.

It took me quite a bit of time to get it running the first time. But that was a long time ago when nobody was using nginx. Now it is much easier. The config is already there in the debian nginx defaults. You just need to uncomment the lines.
