Nginx

These instructions are also covered on the Nginx Wiki.

The prerequisite is that you have already installed Nginx and you are able to run PHP files via the FastCGI-wrapper from Nginx.

Now you need to set up a virtual host in Nginx with configuration settings that are similar to those shown below.

If you don't fully understand the configuration presented here, consult the [nginx documentation](http://nginx.org/en/docs/).

Especially be aware of accidental php-execution when extending the configuration.

But enough of the disclaimer, on to the actual configuration — typically in nginx.conf. This assumes you are running your site configuration with a separate public/ webroot folder.

server {
	listen 80;
	root /var/www/the-website/public;

	server_name site.com www.site.com;

	# Defend against SS-2015-013 -- http://www.silverstripe.org/software/download/security-releases/ss-2015-013
	if ($http_x_forwarded_host) {
		return 400;
	}

	location / {
		try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
	}

	error_page 404 /assets/error-404.html;
	error_page 500 /assets/error-500.html;

	location ^~ /assets/ {
		location ~ /\. {
			deny all;
		}
		sendfile on;
		try_files $uri index.php?$query_string;
	}
	
	location ~ /\.. {
		deny all;
	}

	location ~ web\.config$ {
		deny all;
	}

	location ~ \.php$ {
		fastcgi_keep_conn on;
		fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
		fastcgi_index  index.php;
		fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
		include        fastcgi_params;
		fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
		fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 64k;
		fastcgi_buffers 4 32k;
	}
}

The above configuration sets up a virtual host site.com with rewrite rules suited for SilverStripe. The location block for php files passes all php scripts to the FastCGI-wrapper via a TCP socket.

Now you can proceed with the SilverStripe installation normally.
