Need help with global variable

[Jim Ohlstein]

That didn’t work because the last two lines of nginx.conf are:

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
include /usr/local/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

So it was reset in fastcgi_params and still returned an empty string. What I did was hard code it in the site config. That worked. Presumably it won’t output for other sites on the server either, not that it's really an issue.

Thanks for your help Mike. I appreciate it greatly!

Best,

Jim

SERVER_ADDR is defined but empty. i am not sure here what to say...

you -could- hard-code it in the nginx config probably...
