I've woken up this morning to find that a new Nginx server I've been teaching myself with is no longer serving websites. It looks like this is because Nginx is no longer running. When I try to start it though, I get this error:
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown "https" variable
[FAILED]
Now as far as I'm aware, nothing has been changed and it was running fine yesterday, but nothing I've looked up so far has helped me find a solution to this.
If I run service nginx restart, I get the below:
nginx: [emerg] unknown "https" variable
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
So far I've everything I've been able to find about this, such as here and a few other places: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60733 says to comment out lines in fastcgi_params, however, I don't have those lines in the first place.
I've also tried commenting out references to https just to see what happens, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
My Nginx.conf file is:
user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
autoindex off;
map $scheme $fastcgi_https { ## Detect when HTTPS is used
default off;
https on;
}
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_proxied any;
#gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
# Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
# The default server is in conf.d/default.conf
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
It is presently running a test Magento site, the .conf file for it looks like:
server {
listen 80;
server_name freshtrifle.com;
rewrite / $scheme://www.$host$request_uri permanent; ## Forcibly prepend a www
}
server {
listen 80;
## SSL directives might go here
server_name www.freshtrifle.com *.freshtrifle.com; ## Domain is here twice so server_name_in_redirect will favour the www
root /var/www/freshtrifle.com;
location / {
index index.html index.php; ## Allow a static html file to be shown first
try_files $uri $uri/ @handler; ## If missing pass the URI to Magento's front handler
expires 30d; ## Assume all files are cachable
}
## These locations would be hidden by .htaccess normally
location ^~ /app/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /includes/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /lib/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /media/downloadable/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /pkginfo/ { deny all; }
location ^~ /report/config.xml { deny all; }
location ^~ /var/ { deny all; }
location /var/export/ { ## Allow admins only to view export folder
auth_basic "Restricted"; ## Message shown in login window
auth_basic_user_file htpasswd; ## See /etc/nginx/htpassword
autoindex on;
}
location /. { ## Disable .htaccess and other hidden files
return 404;
}
location @handler { ## Magento uses a common front handler
rewrite / /index.php;
}
location ~ .php/ { ## Forward paths like /js/index.php/x.js to relevant handler
rewrite ^(.*.php)/ $1 last;
}
location ~ .php$ { ## Execute PHP scripts
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } ## Catch 404s that try_files miss
expires off; ## Do not cache dynamic content
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $fastcgi_https;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE default; ## Store code is defined in administration > Configuration > Manage Stores
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
include fastcgi_params; ## See /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
}
}
My fastcgi_params file looks like:
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_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
Does anyone see anything I'm missing? Is there another file I need to look at?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
