FreeBSD : php-cgi spawn-fcgi rc.d script for nginx
I was busy working on glusterfs ports for FreeBSD. Still some issues to be ironed out before it can be submitted to the upstream. At same the time, I set up web servers running nginx with php5 via fastcgi. FreeBSD doesn’t have rc.d script to trigger spawn-fcgi process. So I wrote a quick one. Below is the script.
#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD$
#
# PROVIDE: spawnfcgi
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# BEFORE: nginx
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable spawnfcgi:
# spawnfcgi_enable (bool): Set it to "YES" to enable spawnfcgi.
# Default is "NO".
# spawnfcgi_flags (str): Default is "-a 127.0.0.1 -p 8888 -u www -g www -f /usr/local/bin/php-cgi".
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name="spawnfcgi"
rcvar=${name}_enable
load_rc_config $name
spawnfcgi_enable=${spawnfcgi_enable:-"NO"}
spawnfcgi_flags=${spawnfcgi_flags:-"-a 127.0.0.1 -p 8888 -u www -g www -f /usr/local/bin/php-cgi"}
spawnfcgi_pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
procname="/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
pidfile=${spawnfcgi_pidfile}
command=/usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi
command_args="${spawnfcgi_flags} -P ${spawnfcgi_pidfile}"
run_rc_command "$1"
Note: spawn-fcgi is part of lighttpd.
Just add spawnfcgi_enable=”YES” to /etc/rc.conf to enable it. As this is just a simple script, not all option is stated. You can add/overwrite options via spawnfcgi_flags. Do check the option available via /usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -h
For nginx part, just add these lines to your server directive.
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8888;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/the/phpscript/$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
