Hi all,

Been going in circles for the third day now.

The server handles files and php scripts as long as they are at or
beneath the document root. Here are the two problems I haven't been
able to figure out:
Directory index of ... is forbidden
Can't get to docs not beneath the document_root.

Example of places I want to go:

non-root targets: as:
/home/mike/Movies/index.html /movies/index.html 200
/home/mike/Movies/index.php /movies/index.php "File not found."
/home/mike/Movies/1/index.html /movies/1/index.html 404
/home/mike/Movies/1/index.php /movies/1/index.php "File not found."

File not found : "Primary script unknown";
404 : the log shows the correct GET path;
A lot of my experiments end up with 301 : endless redirects;

http {
index index.html index.php;
...

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost lo;
root /var/www/sites/localhost/www;

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

location /movies {
alias /home/mike/Movies/;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www/sites/localhost/www;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}

If I can get past these hurdles I'll probably (hopefully) be able to
figure most of the rest of this stuff out.

Tips, pointers appreciated. Helper?

Thanks,
Mike Wright
