Mint Forum

This is a nginx configuration that includes a mongrel cluster and php running as fcgi on port 1026. Mint is in approot/public/mint/ .

Edit it to fit your needs. Works for me :)

upstream filipcic {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000;

    listen       192.168.1.2;

    # this rewrites all the requests to the maintenance.html

    if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) {
            rewrite  ^(.*)$  /system/maintenance.html last;
            break;

                    if (-f $request_filename) {

                    }

            }

            if (!-f $request_filename) {
                    proxy_pass http://filipcic;
                    break;
                    }
            }

            error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
            location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
    }
}

I’m doing something similar, but I had my PHP section at the bottom of the Nginx config which forced me to do some odd rewrite rules in the Rails section.

I’ll try out the technique you list here.
