Nginx vs Apache

[WarheadsSE]

I know we've had to say this many time before, but I'll say it again: Apache is a hungry beast.

Please, review this article on ars technica as to the difference between Apache and our oft-recommended Nginx:

Did you know that the entire Arch Linux ARM website runs under Nginx?

I have a great fondness for apache. Think I might swap.

Are there any guides on installing Nginx on Pogo Plug?

[johnnyvibrant]

yep, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nginx works fine

Just a sanity check... anyone else using nginx ? Seems some of my requests get truncated.. and I see workers exiting in the error.log. Won't even get into issues with php-fpm.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '2012/01/06 13:13:25 [alert] 3405#0: worker process 3442 exited on signal 11

Yes, I'm running nginx and php-fpm, and I'm seeing the "worker process NNNN exited on signal 11". Actually I was googling that error when I found this post.

I basically followed the instructions in the wiki posted in this thread as far as nginx/php-fpm setup. I used localhost and port 9000 rather than unix sockets (took me a while to figure out that 'listen' param in php-fpm.conf defaults to unix scockets, so had to change that).

Anyway, php is not working well, presumably because of whatever is causing this error. Some scripts, such as one that just runs 'phpinfo()' will give me 'connection reset' on first attempt, but will give me correct output when I click 'try again' in browser (both generate the signal 11 error). Some basic 'hello world' scripts don't work at all.

This is running on my pink pogoplug.

Btw, I am also running Arch linux on x86, and setting things up in parallel between Arch/x86 and Arm/pogo, and the Arch nginx is not giving me errors. I installed nginx and php-fpm the same way, and they are using the same config files and php scripts. The versions are slightly different however:

Arm/pogo:
# pacman -Q nginx php-fpm
nginx 1.0.6-2
php-fpm 5.3.8-6

Arch/x86:
# pacman -Q nginx php-fpm
nginx 1.0.11-1
php-fpm 5.3.9-1

Try upgrading your system, versions should match up then.

Hi,

I also followed the guide in the archwiki to setup nginx and php-fpm.
nginx works fine, but php doesn't.

All I get is "File not found." In the error log I get
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '2012/01/18 15:02:46 [alert] 1017#0: accept4() failed (38: Function not implemented)')

I googled this and got here: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/568054.
But this is from 2010 and, as I understood, already fixed?

I already upgraded everything to the newest version (via pacman -Syu)

--------------------
nginx 1.0.6-2

php 5.3.9-1
php-cgi 5.3.9-1
php-fpm 5.3.9-1

before, I was experimenting with cherokee and php, but then purged it. Maybe I left something that's now disturbing the fpm-php?

Thanks for your Help!
Sebastian

You've got an oxnas plug ? Maybe a device with a kernel < 2.6.38?

[greenfly]

I got an Pogoplug Pro

2.6.31.6_SMP_820

ah okai... so I have to compile nginx myself then?
