Wordpress setup

[mike]

1) switch to using php-fpm for fastcgi management

2) try method #2 or even #3 here:

server {
       listen 80;
       server_name blog.bsdguy.net;
       root /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/wordpress/;
       index index.php;
       access_log /var/www/blog.bsdguy.net/log/access.log;
       if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^(.+)$ /wordpress/index.php?q=$1 last;
      }
       location ~ \.php$ {
               include /usr/pkg/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
               fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:10000;
               fastcgi_index index.php;
               fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
       }
}

that should get you started. i am having a minor issue with method #2
and method #3 on my blog where if you put /index.php at the end, it
isn't working. not sure why. i need to debug/ask more, but that should
get you started there...

that is the exact server block i have for my site and it works fine
(other than that minor annoyance which i need to fix, then i will
probably post a blog about the "final solution" since so many people
overcomplicate their rewrites for wordpress)
