Grav with OpenLiteSpeed Web Server?

Any improvements to the Nginx configuration would surely be appreciated! Thanks.

Great! I will provide you the config later this evening.

Below is the nginx conf. Hope it’s useful.

server {
    listen                 80;
    server_name            yourservername.com;
    root                   /path/to/your/webroot/grav;
    #index index.html index.htm index.php;
    # NOTE: Should be already in the http block. If so, not needed here.

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~* \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
        fastcgi_pass       unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index      index.php;
        try_files          $uri $uri/ =404;
        fastcgi_param      SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; 
        include            fastcgi_params;
    }
}

If you are using TCP/IP connection instead of unix socket, change fastcgi_pass to:
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Note: socket connections are faster than TCP/IP connections.

Thanks!

Yw :-)!

@duskop what about the restrictions we have to stop access to certain folders?

Thanks for the checking rhukster! On my systems, the directories from those lines are “403 Forbidden” when accessed with web browsers (“301 Moved Permanently” with curl); e.g. if I try myservername.com/vendor, I get 403 error. For exact path, e.g. system/src/Grav/Common/User/Authentication.php, it’s not redirected to the Error page (as with the “rewrite” directive). Instead, it’s readable but not executed – my file permissions on the server are configured such that files are read/write and owned by a regular user without elevated privileges. Similarly, for files in the bin directory, which need to be set to executable on the server, they are not executed, e.g. for bin/gpm, the web browser opens/downloads it for reading. Would that be considered expected behaviour?

I wanted to simplify Nginx config as much as possible… If the above method is not a good practice, “rewrite” directive lines in my settings will need to come back.

Also, I wanted to avoid using If, as per Nginx documentation, IfIsEvil: http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil.

Just for the record, I installed a Centos 7 VM and then installed latest Openlitespeed. After a little work getting Centos into shape so I could recompile PHP, i built PHP5.6 and ran it with the LSAPI interface for lshttpd. I configured a new Virtual Host for the grav blog skeleton, and eve pasted in the .htaccess rewrite stuff as-is. Works great!

So runs fine on Openlitespeed no problem, and I had already tested it on the commercial version of Litespeed also. So chalk that one up in the win column!
