Questions[cakephp](server)

I've got a simple nginx configuration;

server{
  servername localhost;
  root /var/www/webroot;

  location / {
    set_md5  $memcached_key $uri;
    index  index.php index.html;
    try_files $uri $uri/ @cache;
  }

  location @cache  {
    memcached_pass localhost:11211;
    default_type text/html;
    error_page 404  @fallback;
  }

  location @fallback{
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$uri&$args;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_param MEM_KEY $memcached_key;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
  }
}

I've got a CakePHP helper that saves the view into memcached using the MEM_KEY parameter. I have tested it and it's working, however, nginx is always going to the @fallback direction. How can I go about troubleshooting this behavior? Would could the problem be?

I'm developing an app using CakePHP and have encountered a strange problem: When I POST data to a particular method I get a 0 byte response and a simple 404 error in the access log.

psycho953.psych.susx.ac.uk - - [11/Oct/2011:10:17:43 +0100] "GET /research/ssd/aesthetics/participants/add HTTP/1.1" 200 3255 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1"
psycho953.psych.susx.ac.uk - - [11/Oct/2011:10:17:44 +0100] "POST /research/ssd/aesthetics/participants/add HTTP/1.1" 404 - "http://webvm.psych.sussex.ac.uk/research/ssd/aesthetics/participants/add" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1"

POSTing to other forms works, whether or not they use CakePHP or just regular PHP.

I can't figure out how to work beyond the 0 byte response. My question isn't so much "Why isn't this working?" as "How can I find out what's not working?"

For the record, php.ini is set to display errors and succeeds in doing so for syntax errors etc.

I've got a dev site running under http://dev.vacancysoft.com/

As you go there you can see the error and I really searched the web for the solution but couldn't find any.

It all started with the UID and GUID in suphp.conf. When I changed the values both to 0 (because the error was previous that the values are to high) the new one appeared and I don't know how to go through.

Any suggestions? (I am a begginer so please describe everything which is more advanced).

Cheers!

Update

The main site is down too, now the problem is really urgent.

So, I have a web site that has been compromised twice in two weeks. every index.php and .js file gets a script injecting into the source code of the file. The problem is that I have no idea how they're doing it. I've seen this done via sql injection before, but I don't know how they are actually writing to the file. I've dug through the Apache logs but didn't find anything interesting. The site is built using the cakephp framework on a godaddy shared server.

Anybody know what secturity settings or log files to check to see how they are doing this?

Hi somebody please help me out, I've asked this at stackoverflow as well but not got much of a response and was debating whether it was programming or server related.

I’m trying to setup a cakephp environment on a Centos server running Nginx with Fact CGI. I already have a wordpress site running on the server and a phpmyadmin site so I have PHP configured correctly.

My problem is that I cannot get the rewrite rules setup correct in my vhost so that cake renders pages correctly i.e. with styling and so on. I’ve googled as much as possible and the main consensus from the sites like the one listed below is that I need to have the following rewrite rule in place

location / {
  root /var/www/sites/somedomain.com/current;
  index index.php index.html;

  # If the file exists as a static file serve it 
  # directly without running all
  # the other rewrite tests on it
  if (-f $request_filename) { 
    break; 
  }
  if (!-f $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
    break;
  }
}

http://blog.getintheloop.eu/2008/4/17/nginx-engine-x-rewrite-rules-for-cakephp

problem is these rewrite assume you run cake directly out of the webroot which is not what I want to do. I have a standard setup for each site i.e. one folder per site containing the following folders log, backup, private and public. Public being where nginx is looking for its files to serve but I have cake installed in private with a symlink in public linking back to /private/cake/

this is my vhost

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name app.domain.com;

    access_log /home/public_html/app.domain.com/log/access.log;
    error_log /home/public_html/app.domain.com/log/error.log;

    #configure Cake app to run in a sub-directory
    #Cake install is not in root, but elsewhere and configured
    #in APP/webroot/index.php**

    location /home/public_html/app.domain.com/private/cake {
        index index.php;

        if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ /home/public_html/app.domain.com/private/cake/$1 last;
            break;
        }

    }

    location /home/public_html/app.domain.com/private/cake/ {
        index index.php;

        if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ /home/public_html/app.domain.com/public/index.php?url=$1 last;
            break;
        }

    }

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/public_html/app.domain.com/private/cake$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

}

Now like I said I can see the main index.php of cake and have connected it to my DB but this page is without styling so before I proceed any further I would like to configure it correctly. What am I doing wrong……….

Thanks seanl
