[cgiapp] nginx fastcgi configuration problem for C::A app

[James.Q.L]

thanks. I did try passing along PATH_INFO with that but it doesn't work, as in PERL5LIB etc all passed to my C::A app but just not PATH_INFO. even tried to set it as a string and still no dice..

my temporary workaround is to manually set path_info with request_uri value in my C::A app..


James.

P.S sorry for the top posting. yahoo mail just reminds me how crap the new interface is..

maybe you missed PATH_INFO

a old solution is like this:
        location /app {
                 fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fcgi.sock;

                 if ($uri ~ "/app(.+)") {
                   set $path_info $1;
                 }

                 fastcgi_param PATH_INFO         $path_info;
                 include /nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
        }


or maybe use fastcgi_split_path_info , I forget my nginx config in my
virtaul machine.
