Nginx with Perl and OTRS

Hi everybody! I like nginx. It's a fast web server! But I need using otrs, without apache and mod_perl. This is my configs for it:

You can install otrs from freebsd ports tree and then use my configs with perl wrapper :)

$portmaster -d devel/otrs www/nginx www/p5-FastCGI

nginx.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;
    root /usr/local/otrs/var/httpd/htdocs;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/otrs.nginx_access.log;
    index index.html;
    location /otrs-web {
        gzip on;
        alias /usr/local/otrs/var/httpd/htdocs;
    }
    location ~ ^/otrs/(.*\.pl)(/.*)?$ {
        gzip off; #gzip makes scripts feel slower since they have to complete before getting gzipped
        #    fastcgi_pass  unix:/.$1.sock;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/perl-fcgi.sock;
        #    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:8999;
        fastcgi_index index.pl;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME   /usr/local/otrs/bin/fcgi-bin/$1;
        fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING      $query_string;
        fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD    $request_method;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE      $content_type;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH    $content_length;
        fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE   nginx;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME       $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI       $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI      $document_uri;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT     $document_root;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL   $server_protocol;
        fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR       $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT       $remote_port;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR       $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT       $server_port;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME       $server_name;
    }
}

And you need a wrapper for use perl :) You can get it from:

copy fcgi-wrapper to /usr/local/sbin copy perl-fcgi to /usr/local/sbin

And rc.d script

perl-fcgi.rc to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/perl-fcgi

then add

$echo perl_fcgi_enable=\"YES\" >>/etc/rc.conf
