Re: [fossil-users] How to set up a server under nginx ?
OK. Well, the other thing you can do is lobby the nginx people to start supporting CGI. :-) I'm not a nginx user, and such would not work if the front web server and the fossil server are on different machines, as they are in my case. With the current fossil code base my workaround is to run a tiny webserver on the fossil machine that calls fossil in CGI mode and sets the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable appropriately based on the forwarded http header info. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
[fossil-users] How to set up a server under nginx ?
I don't want to use CGI, as it's already nginx running . so now I want to use nginx to set up the server for fossil and I don't know what to do. Thanks.___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

I'd say you want CGI, as long as nginx is a web server. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Well, CGI in httpd/inetd is going to run Fossil for every request. In the
meantime, Fossil in server mode does a fork for every request too, but it *does
not do exec*. So it can be more performant to just proxy to a `fl server`
instance. Plus, this way you don't have to make your repositories readable by
httpd process.
To answer the original question:
You start your fossil server on a given port, preferably by means of cron.
Then, in your vhost configuration you just put:
location @fossil {
proxy_pass http://localhost:MY_CHOSEN_PORT;
}
And anchor it appropriately. That simple.
Kind regards,

Afaik, this only works if the root is relayed, not if the fossil server instance is rooted at a base path. For example, forwarding http://www.domain.com/ to a fossil server would work, but forwarding http://www.domain.com/path/to/ would not work, because the generated html would not have correct href's (it would not have the '/path/to' bit). I've posted a patch to make this work july 11th, 2010, but I don't think it was accepted into the main code. OK.
