I am struggling to get mono's fastcgi server (fastcgi-mono-server2) to work with nginx, on a Windows XP box.
Does anyone have an example of a successful configuration?

I have tried many things but cannot get it to work. I suspect it may be a problem with DOS vs UNIX style directory naming somewhere in the process.

This is the relevant part of my nginx.conf file
(hard-coding the SCRIPT_FILENAME to a known file for the moment):

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;

root /www/html/;
index index.html index.htm index.php index.aspx default.aspx;

# pass ASP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.(aspx|asmx|ashx|asax|ascx|soap|rem|axd|cs|config|dll)$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME c:\\www\\html\\asp\\test\\index2.aspx;
include fastcgi_params;
}
...
}

And this is how I am launching fastcgi-mono-server2:

"C:\Program Files\Mono-2.4.2.1\lib\mono\2.0\fastcgi-mono-server2"
/socket=tcp:127.0.0.1:9000
/loglevels=All
/logfile="C:\Program Files\nginx-0.8.4\logs\mono.log"
/root="C:\www\html\asp\test"
/applications=/:.
/appconfigdir=.


The nginx error log says:

2009/07/10 18:54:16 [error] 1116#3116: *1 WSARecv() failed (10054: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host) while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /asp/test/index2.aspx HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "localhost"


The fastcgi log file outputs the following.

Thanks for any help.

There's a post in the Spanish forum here on it. You may try contacting the author of that post about it directly.
