Totally awesome guide is at http://rasberrypibeginnersguide.tumblr.com/post/27283563130/nginx-php5-on-raspberry-pi-debian-wheezy
But instead using provided silex site config file, you should configure root folder of web server to serve php scripts. To do so please rm symlink to
silex file and edit
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Set root folder to /var/www
# root /usr/share/nginx/www;
root /var/www;
Add index.php as a index file
index index.html index.htm index.php;
And configure all php files to be parsed by fastCGI php bridge set up on port 9000. Just put all below somewhere in default file
## Parse all .php file in the /var/www directory
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/silex$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_ignore_client_abort off;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
fastcgi_send_timeout 180;
fastcgi_read_timeout 180;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}
Now restart ngix as mentioned in original article and enjoy PHP on RPi!
