Hi there

Am tearing my hair out trying to get Gallery 3 up and running on a Linode VPS using PHP-FPM.

Specifically I'm getting stuck setting my nginx location directives in the domain-specific nginx.conf

At the top level of the document root, I am serving static html files and my gallery 3 installation is in a gallery/ subdirectory.

So I have mysite.com serving static content and my gallery installation at mysite.com/gallery/

Any clues on how to configure nginx and php-fpm to get this working would be appreciated.

On Linode, yes, but I'm just using a basic LAMP stack. I know I've had it running under Lighttpd (sans ability to really set permissions)

Honestly, I'd inquire in the Linode forums. They are super high quality and have quite a few really smart people in there. Since this isn't just your basic G3 question, but more about server config (and an unsupported config for G3 anyway)

Thanks NIvekiam

You know, I just went back and wiped my node and redeployed with the LAMP script and had Gallery running straight away. I wanted to try nginx and php-fpm but the reality was didn't want to spend hours at the command line getting it going.

So I'm now on linode with Gallery 3 - I do need to install a graphics library still and am looking into these forums for the preferred library.

Edit: Just installed graphicsmagick, however I'm not sure what/if I need to install for outgoing emails from Gallery.

Yeah, playing around with nginx, lighttpd, etc is cool and all, but if you really don't have a truly high traffic site, don't bother until you need it. Sure, play around and get use to something more efficient than Apache so you are some what comfortable, but if you run into issues, there's WAY more information about tuning Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc than anything else out there.
