Empty 'current url' for Django deployed with Nginx and fastcgi

Question

When I query this url

http://mywebsite.com/foos/ 

Django give me :

Page not found (404)
Request Method:     GET
Request UR         


        

Answer 1

You are missing the PATH_INFO parameter.

fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

See the nginx docs: http://wiki.nginx.org/DjangoFastCGI

If you try "nginx PATH_INFO django" in your favourite search engine, it looks like some users had to remove the SCRIPT_NAME parameter as well to get it to work.
