Why is nginx + passenger + phpmyadmin = Access denied?

Question

PHP

I don’t know what to do anymore, initially the server was Apache2, then I changed it to nginx + php-frm.

And forever for phpmyadmin and mailer I see only:

Access denied.

nginx config:

#user  nobody;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    passenger_root /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484/gems/passenger-4.0.35;

in

/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

I added:

limit_extensions = .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .html

Same error, didn't help:

php.ini to 1 cgi.fix_pathinfo - didn't help

Log part :

2014/01/19 19:25:01 [error] 5354#0: *11 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Access to the script '/opt/nginx/html' has been denied (see security.limit_extensions)" while reading response header from upstream, client: *, server: localhost, request: "GET /phpmyadmin/index.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "

" , and the server rebooted, what's wrong, I don't understand.

Answer 1

You don't have a root variable in your locale. He does not know where to count from and therefore most likely takes the root of the FS.
Try adding the line root /var/www/html to the locations or even to the server section itself,
or where you have atm projects...
Here's what the official documentation says:

If location and the last part of the directive's value match:
location /images/ {
alias /data/w3/images/;
}
then it is better to use the root directive:

Answer 2

Check /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf if there is a line php_admin_value[open_basedir]. Delete it if it exists. I had a similar problem, solved this way.
