Owncloud 4 and Nginx
updated at Do 14. Jul 2012
Short after writing this entry, I discover a good one.
Nginx don’t understand the .htaccess, which is shipped with owncloud. So some rewrites, required by the webdav implementation, aren’t applied. To get owncloud running, some additional options are necessary:
Nginx
upstream backend {
unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock; # <--- edit me
}
# force https
server {
listen 80;
server_name cloud.site.com;
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.key;
server_name cloud.site.com; # <--- edit me
root /var/web/MyOwncloud; # <--- edit me
index index.php;
client_max_body_size 20M; # set maximum upload size
access_log /var/log/nginx/cloud.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/cloud.error_log info;
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ {
expires 30d;
access_log off;
}
# deny direct access
location ~ ^/(data|config|\.ht|db_structure.xml|README) {
deny all;
}
location / {
# these line replace the rewrite made in owncloud .htaccess
try_files $uri $uri/ @webdav;
}
location @webdav {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass backend;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass backend;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
Additionally I added these lines to the default /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params:
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
So it does looks like this:
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
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 HTTPS $https if_not_empty;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$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;
PHP +++ If your upload size is still lower than the one set in nginx’s configuration, increase the size in the php.ini as described here
