I am trying to set up the mailing list software Sympa with Nginx. Under Apache, it is a FastCGI process which works like this:

<VirtualHost lists.tld.org:80>
ServerName lists.tld.org
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
<Location /wws>
SetHandler fastcgi-script
</Location>
ScriptAlias /wws /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

The Sympa documentation does give an example for Nginx:

server {
server_name lists.tld.org;

location / {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi/php-cgi.socket;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
}
}

But this must be incomplete, because it gives me the "No input file specified" error. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

To answer my own message, I've made a bit of progress now through trial and error, but still not quite there. Here's what I have now:

server {
server_name lists.tld.org;
root /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa;

location /static-sympa {
alias /var/lib/sympa/static_content;
}

location / {
gzip off;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/)(.+)$;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
}
}

What this should do is that when you load http://lists.tld.org/info/listname, it should pass "info/listname" on to the script through PATH_INFO. When I check the Nginx logs, PATH_INFO does equal "info/listname". But the script ignores it, and just loads the main page! With Apache, it works.

Sorry, I was close to fixing it but not quite - here is the version that works:

server {
server_name lists.tld.org;
root /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sympa;

location /static-sympa {
alias /var/lib/sympa/static_content;
}

location / {
gzip off;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
}
}
