Hello

First of all thank you for this forum which I have just joined.

I have set up nginx and have it working very well for the past month or so. However I have faced this problem for the second time now. The last time it happened I had to power down and re-start the machine and it was ok.

I am running Nginx and PHP-FastCGI connecting to Oracle 10g on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS) installed on VirtualBox 4.1.6. It works well and like it better than Apache. Except for the two times that it has died on me, I have had no issues. And I think that happened (not sure), when I made a mistake in PHP and tried to browse it. I make tons of mistakes and it is ok all the time -- except of course for these two comparatively rare occurences.

The error takes the form of a blank white screen with '404 Not Found' in bold across the top. Then there is a dividing line running from left to right and just below that in small font 'nginx/1.0.10'.

Restarting Nginx does not help. Nor does replacing the index.php page with a simple call.

Any idea what this is or what I maybe doing wrong?

Thank you very much!
