I have problem setting up CGI scripts to be run on Nginx, so far I've found http://wiki.nginx.org/SimpleCGI this stuff but problem is that I can't make perl script run as service so that it will run in background and even in case of restart it will start running automatically

Do you have any idea? I'm running Centos 5

I've found some solutions here but I couldn't integrate code given there with this Perl script I'm completely zero at Perl, please help me Thanks

centos cgi nginx perl

I found this: https://github.com/ruudud/cgi It says:

On Ubuntu: apt-get install nginx fcgiwrap
On Arch: pacman -S nginx fcgiwrap

Example Nginx config (Ubuntu: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default):

server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  localhost;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    location / {
        root /srv/static;
        autoindex on;
        index index.html index.htm;
    }

    location ~ ^/cgi {
        root /srv/my_cgi_app;
        rewrite ^/cgi/(.*) /$1 break;

        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/my_cgi_app$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Change the root and fastcgi_param lines to a directory containing CGI scripts, e.g. the cgi-bin/ dir in this repository.

If you are a control freak and run fcgiwrap manually, be sure to change fastcgi_pass accordingly. The path listed in the example is the default in Ubuntu when using the out-of-the-box fcgiwrap setup.

I'm about to try it.
