Nginx 1.6 stable fail php-fpm on Debian Wheezy

I am big fan of Debian.
It just easy to setup a nice clean server get the job done.

For more effective web server, I try to use Nginx + PHP5-FPM to serve Wordpress and Mediawiki.

I bring up a new Debian Wheezy 7.5 64-bit server today.

1.First upgrade all new patch:

aptitude update && aptitude upgrade

2.Install Nginx Stable follow Nginx's offical Pre-Built Packages:
http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#stable

wget http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
apt-key add nginx_signing.key
aptitude update
aptitude install nginx

3.Install Latest MariaDB Pre-Built Packages:

aptitude install python-software-properties
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
add-apt-repository 'deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/10.0/debian wheezy main'
aptitude install mariadb-server

4.Install PHP5-FPM:

aptitude install php5-fpm

5.Modify Nginx vhost location in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;

6.Put my vhost file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/mds.conf:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/log/mds.access.log  main;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/log/mds.error.log error;

    root   /var/www/mds;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /var/www/mds;
    }

    # With php5-fpm / php5-cgi will be different:
    location ~ .php$ {
         try_files $uri =404;
         fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
         fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
         fastcgi_index index.php;
         include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Make a link:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mds.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enable/

Restart Nginx:

service nginx restart

Then I put a index.php with phpinfo() into the /var/www/mds folder.
But the browser shows blank page.
I try follow different post, able to bring errors logs: php5-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied) error

But still not able to quickly fix it.

Spend almost half hour on it, finally found:

Missing this line in /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params:

fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME         $request_filename;

I should just stay with Debian Nginx 1.2, what a wast!
Nginx's RPM package works just fine.

Hope this helps.

Update 1 on June 24, 2014:

It seems more problem are coming, I really miss stock debian package.

Php page show error, but nothing in error log file.

I have to run this to bring the php page up:

chmod 666 /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

Thanks the post: http://www.nginxtips.com/php5-fpm-sock-failed-13-permission-denied-error/

I modified file: /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

;listen.owner = www-data
;listen.group = www-data
;listen.mode = 0660
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx

service php5-fpm restart

Update 2: Additional installation to make it works better

aptitude install php-apc
aptitude install php5-mysqlnd
mysql_secure_installation

Update 2 on November 14, 2014:

Another solution for .sock permission issue will be:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
	#user  nginx;
	user	www-data;

This because php5-fpm package set /var/www owner to www-data.
It will be much cleaner just set nginx run as www-data, therefor we borrow the Debian setting over.
