[bug] Error while installing main Fabrik component on NGINX.

[batonac]

While installing the latest Fabrik 3.1 on the latest Joomla 3.1, all the plugins/modules install without a hitch except for the fabrik component. When trying to run that install, i get a '502 Bad Gateway' error, which corresponds to this line in my nginx error.log:

2013/07/11 15:29:08 [error] 1782#0: *821 upstream sent invalid status "-1 Source folder not found" while reading response header from upstream, client: 174.49.214.254, server: ft.3cordinc.com, request: "POST /administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=discover HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "ft.3cordinc.com", referrer: "http://ft.3cordinc.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=discover"

For whatever reason the component still installs and seems to run fine, but it's weird and unsettling when you get an error on install.

Here's my nginx site config:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name ft.3cordinc.com;
 
        root /srv/www/fabrik_test;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
   
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
        }
 
        # deny running scripts inside writable directories
        location ~* /(images|cache|media|logs|tmp)/.*\.(php|pl|py|jsp|asp|sh|cgi)$ {
                return 403;
                error_page 403 /403_error.html;
        }
       
        location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(.*)$;
            fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }
 
        # caching of files
        location ~* \.(ico|pdf|flv)$ {
                expires 1y;
        }
 
        #location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|swf|xml|txt)$ {
        #        expires 14d;
        #}
}

Here's my nginx.conf:

I'll be glad to attach and config and/or log files that you'd like to study.

Sorry I have never use nginx so can't comment about installing on it. The error doesn't really help much as it doesn't say what folder is missing.
I'll run the build here and check the install xml file to see if there are any discrepancies there but beyond that I don't know where to look

I've never used nginx either, can't really help. We can't really support anything but the mainstream web servers, like Apache and IIS. And afaik the current 3.1 build installs fine on both of those.

Maybe I got everyone off-track with my NGINX assumptions. I just installed this on a traditional shared-hosting provider (1and1) which uses Apache web server. I got exactly the same error when installing the main fabrik component: "-1 Source folder not found".

I don't need "professional-priority" fixes on this bug, it doesn't really keep me from working. I just thought you guys might want to know so your software is ready for public launch...

 

[cheesegrits]

OK. It's pretty much impossible to work out what that is, as it's not giving us the folder name, without running through a from scratch install to test it here.

As it's not a show stopper, if it's cool with you, we'll just wait till the next time we build the installer for the next version, and test some from-scratch installs.

Totally cool man. I'm just trying to be helpful!
