Installing Observium on FreeBSD with Nginx?

You're crazy. I'm crazy. Let's be eccentric together.

pkg install nginx mysql56-client mysql56-server php56
sysrc nginx_enable="YES"
sysrc php_fpm_enable="YES"
sysrc mysql_enable="YES"

pkg install net-snmp php56-snmp
pkg install graphviz fping rrdtool subversion
pkg install pear php56-mysql php56-gd php56-posix php56-mcrypt php56-session php56-filter php56-ctype php56-json php56-xml php56-zlib py27-MySQLdb56

cat << EOF >>/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
listen.mode = 0660

# next, put the above configuration file into /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d
# oh, that directory doesn't exist? then you'll need to:
#1) create it (mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d)
#2) massage /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf to include *.conf from the above directory
#3) get the help of a unix grownup if you can't do step #2 by yourself

# mysqld on freebsd ships by default in strict mode
# observium will not operate with strict mode...
# so edit /usr/local/my.cnf and change the value of sql_mode to "PIPES_AS_CONCAT,ANSI_QUOTES"
#
# root@ops:~ # cat /usr/local/my.cnf
# [mysqld]
# innodb_file_per_table=1
# sql_mode=PIPES_AS_CONCAT,ANSI_QUOTES

# start php, nginx, and mysql
service php-fpm start
service nginx start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start

# yes, you have to start mysql this way for the first time
# don't believe me?
# try "service mysql start" and watch it fail, without an actionable error message at that

# continue with the observium rhel documentation (http://www.observium.org/docs/rhel/#download-observium)
# but!
# - replace all users/groups named "apache" with "www"
# - skip the selinux section
# - add the following lines to config.php:
#
# $config['fping'] = "/usr/local/sbin/fping";
# $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool";
# $config['snmpwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk";
# $config['snmpget'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpget";
# $config['snmpbulkget'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkget";
# $config['snmpbulkwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk";
# $config['snmptranslate'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate";
#
# - lastly, install the polling cron entries in the root crontab
# (or www or some other user, if you know what you're doing)

Ugh, thanks so much. I was missing the damned try_files line.

Works perfectly with my uwsgi setup now. Thanks!
