Hello,

I have been happily using Nginx as my web server and reverse proxy on my main sites now for over a year. Those sites and nginx are running on a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, and nginx on the router has very good response for the low traffic we have. So, before I outline my current issue, I would like again to thank Igor for his wonderful software, and for his prior help with me in the forum to repair my terrrible regex coding.

Recently I came across a Seagate Dockstar and a Seagate GoFlex Net at a low price. I decided that they would make better servers than the router, as they have 1.2GHz Marvell Kirkwood processors. So I loaded Debian armel distro on them and they work quite well. I am using the GoFlex Net, which has SATA, as a MythTV backend.

Unfortunately a problem arises when using the Mythweb browser interface. While most tasks, such as scheduling TV, work fine, there is a problem with certain tasks, such as displaying music in MythMusic and editing settings. I am certain it is an issue in either the nginx or the php-fpm configuration. If used with Apache Mythweb works fine. But Apache uses way too much resources for such a small machine. Currently I am using the standard nginx config as shown on the MythTV wiki at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythWeb_on_Nginx. I am pasting the Mythweb Apache config and the nginx config below for comparison so that we may isolate the problem. The php.conf is separate, but is the same as normal. There are no errors being logged. I am assuming the problem is somewhere in the rewrite rules.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
