I’m already biting into this for hours already.
I’ve found a few Tutorials for this, and this is exactly how our site’s Nginx Configuration looks like now:
`server {
listen 80;
server_name yamihoshi.nl;

access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

location / {
root /var/www/yamihoshi.nl;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}

location /doc {
root /usr/share;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}

location /images {
root /usr/share;
autoindex on;
}

#error_page 404 /404.html;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/yamihoshi.nl;
}

# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ .php$ {
#proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#

location @wordpress {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/tech/index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /tech/index.php;
}

location ~ .php$ {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)?(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1&$2;
}
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/yamihoshi.nl$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache’s document root
# concurs with nginx’s one
#
#location ~ /.ht {
#deny all;
#}
}`

When Permalinks are enabled, I’m getting a Warning Rain.
When disabled, everything works fine, but BuddyPress gets into a 404 (or 405) Error Page.

Nginx version: 0.6.32.

Cheers,
Yamilla

Perhaps posting the warnings might help people grasp a better understanding of whats going on.

Offtopic: I havent heard of Nginx before, what do you use it for?

[YamiHoshiNL]

Nginx is something like Apache2, but over 9000 times lighter, and over 9000 times more complicated.

And about the warnings, prepare for trouble, because I’ll make it double:

BuddyPress doesn’t work without permalinks enabled.

Do you get those warnings when BuddyPress is deactivated?

Try some of the other nginx configs on the net like:
http://xentek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/nginx-vhost-wordpress-mu-and-buddypress.txt
http://k-noo.net/2010/07/nginx-rewrite-rule-for-wordpress-buddypress/247
http://blog.adrenlinerush.net/?p=81

See if any of them work and report back!

[YamiHoshiNL]

If I disable BuddyPress, and then load the site, it gives me a WPOD (White Page of Death).
But none of these worked for me, although the k-noo.net looked the clearest of them all.
I think it’s not Nginx, but WordPress that hates me.
