HHVM with Nginx fastcgi not working properly

fastcgi, hhvm, nginx

Solution

Everything looks right. Can you try using `php-fpm` with the exact same ngingx config and see if it works? Maybe you have a directory permission issue or something. Also make sure you are actually starting the `hhvm-fastcgi` process using `/etc/init.d/hhvm-fastcgi start` and that nothing was listening on port 9000 before you ran that. You can run `ps auxf | grep hhvm` to make sure it is running and listening.

Problem

I would like to use HHVM via Nginx. (Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, PHP 5.3.10) I've followed the steps mentioned here: http://www.hhvm.com/blog/1817/fastercgi-with-hhvm This is how my Nginx setup looks: ``` server { listen 80; server_name demo1.dev server_name_in_redirect off; root /var/www/demo1; location / { index index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ @handler; expires 30d; } location @handler { rewrite / /index.php; } location ~ .php$ { fastcgi_keep_conn on; if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite / /index.php last; } expires off; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "error_log=/var/report/PHP.error.log"; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { expires 1y; log_not_found off; } } ``` I have a file called hhvm.php that contains this: ``` function is_hhvm() { return defined('HHVM_VERSION'); } if (is_hhvm()) { echo "HHVM is working\n"; } else { echo "HHVM is not working\n"; } ``` What am I doing wrong and how can I see if HHVM is working properly? UPDATE: Output of: `ps auxf | grep hhvm` ``` root 15164 0.0 0.0 9360 660 pts/0 S+ 13:55 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto hhvm www-data 15142 4.2 6.3 576564 122484 ?
