Need help with global variable

Wed Oct 29 05:11:24 MSK 2008

Just a quick guess. You are doing something like this in each of your sites
fastcgi section? setting the script filename in each site like
fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index   index.php;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME
/some/path/to/public_html/$fastcgi_script_name;

If you are doing this you actually reset all the http fastcgi_params that
are set in any top level. Again if this is the case you need to either
reinclude the fastcgi_params file in each of your site or change your
SCRIPT_FILENAME to
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
in your fastcgi_params file and then in each of your server sections it will
automatically have the script_filename set and you no longer have to do it
for each server.
