Jamroom

I'm not sure if it's allowed technically, but it works... the permissions were granted for the user on the db.

@eva2000 the Jamroom developer cleared up the issue with a fix. Install successful! Thanks for all your help.

Once I get the vhost 100% working I'll publish everything to the OP.

 

@eva2000 what's the different between running the ownership root:nginx vs. nginx:nginx.

The reason I'm asking is that with Jamroom I'm was not able to execute du, convert, or diff and they're all installed (on the server) and the locations are correct (in the script). The script has a basic function to test if those are executable and the results were returning false. I did the chmod to nginx:nginx and now everything is working fine except for the ImagicK which is still showing as "not executable".

I guess I'm just curious which is better root:nginx or nginx:nginx? Would there be any security issues with one over the other? Is it recommended to chmod the public directory for most installs? I'm running IPB 4 with root:nginx and it seems to work fine.

Thanks for any information you can provide on this.

 

I must have read over that getting started guide 100 times and never saw the switching of the permissions. I only noticed it in the IPB 3 guide you have and wondered if that was specific for IPB 3. Thanks for the link! I can't believe I missed that.

So is the open_basedir the reason ImagicK isn't working?

 

I'll give that a try.

Thank you again, I appreciate all your help, suggestions, and opinions! You make coming to this forum and using the LEMP a really nice experience.

 

Update. The developer is looking into some issues with Jamroom using Nginx. He believes that it has to do with the conversion of the htaccess file. Once those items are sorted out, I'll post a vhost conf file in the OP.

 

Added a Gist for the config file.

Jamroom 5+ Nginx configuration file for use with Centminmod. · GitHub

 

Still having issues with some of the images in the ACP. The developer said he got it working on a vanilla nginx install using

Code:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
        client_max_body_size 256M;
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
        server_name ubuntu.jamroom.net;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

        location @rewrite {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /modules/jrCore/router.php?_uri=$1 last;
        }

        location / {
            autoindex on;
            index index.html index.php sitemap.xml /modules/jrCore/router.php;
            try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                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;
        }
}

But I can't get the images to display with my version of the conf file.



Do you see anything in there that would need to be changed in one of the include files. I didn't.

I posted it in the thread on the Jamroom forum. Hopefully, I'll get some feedback... hopefully... most (all) of them run Apache. I think I'm the only one running Jamroom on Nginx.

 

That's it! Got the images showing.

Is there anything in that file that I need? I don't want to not include that file if there is something I need in it.

 

Those images are "special" images. The developer has those only in the ACP and they have a special path. I'm going to check with the developer to see if he has any thoughts.

Below is the location that is causing the issue for the ACP images.

Code:

location ~* \.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ {
    gzip_static off;
    #add_header Pragma public;
    add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
    access_log off;
    expires 30d;
    break;
        }

 

I posted a reply on the thread I have going over on Jarmoom. Since it's only affecting these specific images and not any other images in the script, I wanted to ask Brian (Jamroom Developer). Here is the thread: Index Not Found - The Jamroom Network | Jamroom

 

Here was the reply from the developer:

I've been looking online but couldn't really find a good if / else example so I could exclude a specific directory from a location.

Do you have any ideas how I might exclude a directory from that specific location? I tried a couple different things and had no success.

I tried with no luck:

Code:

location ^~ /image/img/module/jrCore/*){
        allow all;
    }

    location ^~ /module/jrCore/*){
            allow all;
        }

    location ~* \.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ {

    gzip_static off;
    #add_header Pragma public;
    add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
    access_log off;
    expires 30d;
    break;
        }
