Recently I got this error when starting nginx on Ubuntu:
[emerg] unknown “server_https” variable
In my case I do these step:
– edit /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
– comment this code:
fastcgi_param HTTPS $server_https;

413 Request Entity Too Large
you have set necessary PHP configuration to accept large file upload but still get this error. This error is thrown by Nginx, to resolve just set the client_max_body_size variable the server block, the size should be in Megabytes. eg:
client_max_body_size 200M;
Nginx: Hide PHP Extension
I found a blog post explaining how to do this here
A Little Note Everytime My Nginx has Problem
nginx reads request from client to a big buffer, then connect to a free fastcgi server process, sent the whole buffer to it. Then, fastcgi process queries the database in a very short time, and send the result to a buffer of nginx, then go on sleeping. Actually, the time of a cycle of fastcgi working should be as short as possible.

PHP-FastCGI-Nginx 504 Gateway Timeout
The directives that affect FastCGI timeouts are:
- client_header_timeout
- client_body_timeout
- send_timeout
- fastcgi_read_timeout

Nginx for Windows Buggy Path Setting (Kevin Worthington Port)
nginx bases the root directory into the hardcoded path
/cygdrive/c/nginx/
even if you don't have Cygwin installed
There is a workaround, though, to use relative directory paths:
location / {
root ../www;
}
This will get you the root directory set to c:\www, if nginx lives in C:\nginx.

Start and Stop Nginx – Run Memcached as Daemon
stop nginx (ubuntu)
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop
start nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
restart nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
start memcached in daemon mode with 128 MB RAM, which listens on localhost port 11211 :
memcached -d -m 128 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
