The syntax is correct, but it won't do what you expect (probably) and
isn't the best approach anyway.
A more efficient way would be to add the setting based on the server -
then the checks are made at conf-read time, rather than at runtime for
each request.
e.g.
server {
...
listen 443;
...
location \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
}
}
server {
...
listen 80;
...
location \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
If you have all your fastcgi settings in a separate file (the
fastcgi_params is just the name I've given to a file with them in, with
the base as that of your nginx.conf file), then include it, then you'll
have them all in both locations/servers whilst setting them in one file.
The problem with your if($server_port = 443) ... above is probably that
you've got it at the server level, not inside your location block. With
fastcgi_param's, if you add a new setting in a lower-level block (e.g. a
location block as opposed to a server block), then all the settings are
over-ridden and you need to reset them all (hence the best way of doing
so being to include an external file).
I think that:
location \.php$ {
if ($server_port = 443) {
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
would work, but it's a very bad way of achieving the above server config.
If you have similar configurations for the SSL/non-SSL server, then put
the configurations into a separate file/files and include them like above.
Good luck!
Marcus.
