Frido's questions

First something about the infrastructure:

We have migrated one of our backend/admin servers to amazon. The applications on this server are only used sporadically (max. 10 parallel users). We are using a t1.micro instance running Gentoo. As Webserver we are using nginx in combination with PHP-FPM. The problem is that sometimes the server is dead slow that means a page needs 10-20sec to load (max 2sec on my local dev environment, and these pages are heavy ... 80mb+). I tried to analyze and reproduce the error but only figured out the memory is okay (270mb free) while cpu load is at 100%

Configuration:

nginx has 2 workers and max. 1024 connections.

PHP-FPM (I removed the comments)

error_log = /var/log/php-fpm.log

...

[www]

listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

user = www
group = www

pm = dynamic

pm.max_children = 8

pm.start_servers = 2

pm.min_spare_servers = 2

pm.max_spare_servers = 4

pm.max_requests = 100

I hope some one has a clue what to do :)

I'm trying to setup a symfony2 app in a subdirectory of our Server

Webserver: nginx 1.1.6 + php fpm OS: gentoo

my target is to get the app working from a subdirectory

subdomain.xy.domain.tld/tool

my nginx config looks like that

server  {

    listen          80;
    server_name     subdomain.xy.domain.tld;

    error_log       /var/log/nginx/subdomain.xy.error.log info;
    access_log      /var/log/nginx/subdomain.xy.access.log main;


    location /tool {

        root /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.xy/tool/web;

        index app.php;

        location ~ \.php($|/) {
            include fastcgi_params;

            set $script $uri;
            set $path_info "";

            if ($uri ~ "^(.+\.php)($|/)") {
                set $script $1;
            }

            if ($uri ~ "^(.+\.php)(/.+)") {
                set $script $1;
                set $path_info $2;
            }

            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/vhosts/subdomain.xy/tool/web$fastcgi_script_name;
            #fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $script;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
        }
    }

}

I have really no clue how to do this... I've searched the web for hours and tried dozens of different configs but nothing worked. I hope someone has an idea =)
