Edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bluecherry.conf

Change: /usr/share/bluecherry/nginx-includes/.conf

to: /usr/share/bluecherry/nginx-includes/buster.conf

then run:

nginx -t

wow, thanks for the fast reply!

making progress:
nginx is now running but with a PID invalid argument and I am now getting a bad gateway (progress!)

Hi Echofox,

you need to edit the path to php7.3-fpm.sock in “/usr/share/bluecherry/nginx-includes/buster.conf”

#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;

hope this helps
Anthony

echofox · June 13, 2021, 11:48pm

working! You may consider this topic resolved.

cat /usr/share/bluecherry/nginx-includes/buster.conf
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
# fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
}

!!!

systemctl restart nginx

!!!

I now have access to https://ip:7001

Thank you both for the amazing and fast support, I’m looking forward to filling up the 8 licenses I bought this morning! I’m bummed I missed out on the indiegogo and stickers to support the mobile app though.

This has been resolved in a hotfix for 3.1.0-rc2, which is specific to Buster (Debian 10) only:
