linuxgeek: [nslu2-linux] Can't run cgi files with nginx and php-fcgi

Hi All,

I hope someone can point me in the right direction with this problem. I have installed and configured nginx, php, php-fcgi and spawn-fcgi on an unslung slug. Initially I configured /opt/etc/nginx/nginx.conf as I show below to be able to use nginx and php-fcgi to display php files:
================================
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /home/httpd/mrtg;
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
}

#Pass all .php files onto a php-fpm/php-fcgi server.

location ~ \.php$ {

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
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_pass 127.0.0.1:1026;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fcgi.sock;
}
================================

To spawn fastcgi I have a script under /opt/etc/init.d/ to start php-fcgi and bind it to a unix socket:

FCGISOCKET="/tmp/php-fcgi.sock"

This has worked fine, but now I want to also be able to process cgi-bin/routers2.cgi for graphing some mrtg data and I am not sure if I need to install anything else and/or how to configure nginx. This is what I have tried adding to nginx.conf, after some google searching and head scratching:
================================
location ~ ^/cgi-bin/.*\.cgi$ {
gzip off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fcgi.sock;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/nginx/cgiwrap-dispatch.sock;
fastcgi_index index.cgi;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
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 GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
#fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
#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 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;
}
================================

However, instead of the browser showing the result of the *.cgi script, it just loads up the content of the file. Any idea what I need to do to enable nginx to process cgi files - *without* adding a separate web server to do this, but using some fastcgi method instead?
