nginx-proxy: Cannot connect to container with fastcgi

same issue here, i’m using this conf

version: '2'
services:
    proxy:
        image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        volumes:
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro

    fpm:
        image: php:fpm-alpine
        volumes:
          - ./sites:/var/www/html
        environment:
            - VIRTUAL_HOST=whoami.local
            - VIRTUAL_ROOT=/var/www/html
            - VIRTUAL_PORT=9000
            - VIRTUAL_PROTO=fastcgi

when trying access to browser, blank response, any ideas?

I’ve added this line in my custom dockerfile (FROM jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine):

RUN echo "fastcgi_index index.php;" >> /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf

Works but it would be good to have something like “-e VIRTUAL_INDEX=index.php”

I am facing the same issue as xgenvn:

I also met the same problem. It seems the fastcgi.conf not exists. You can try adding a fastcgi.conf in your root.

Here you can see state of container:

# docker exec -ti nginx-proxy cat /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf
cat: /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf: No such file or directory

# docker exec -ti nginx-proxy nginx -t

i have same issue, anything idea for that ?

I solved the problem by replace the file fastcgi_params to own:

fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_index  index.php;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED  /$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  HTTP_HOST        $server_name;

fastcgi_keep_conn on;
fastcgi_intercept_errors        on;
fastcgi_ignore_client_abort     off;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 100000;
fastcgi_send_timeout 100000;
fastcgi_read_timeout 100000;
fastcgi_buffer_size 256k;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

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  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  REQUEST_SCHEME     $scheme;
fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

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;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;

add build section to proxy docker-composer.yml:

services:
  nginx-proxy:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: build.dockerfile

build.dockerfile:

FROM  jwilder/nginx-proxy:latest
COPY fastcgi_params /etc/nginx/

This is indeed my negligence caused. In my project, I added a rewrite, did not find this problem. I will consider fixing it as soon as possible.

 rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?_url=/$1;

@saesh @HalisCz Hello, this bug has been resolved. See #1116

@saesh actually I’m using repo and it referenced directly from this image for the template. I checked the nginx configuration but there’re no fastcgi.conf in nginx folder. I’ll fire an issue on that repo instead 😉.

Just for completion: I added a virtual host specific location configuration file in /etc/nginx/vhost.d/phpfpm.local_location with just one line: fastcgi_index index.php; and now all works as intended. See per-virtual_host-location-configuration in the README.
