[ic] Nginx config

[Josh Lavin]

I recently attempted running Interchange 5.8.2 on Nginx, rather than
Apache.

In case it helps someone later, below are my configs that worked with
the Strap template, using "/cgi-bin/strap" as the URL.

These are what I used for for CentOS 7, based on info from older posts
to this list, which mostly worked, but not fully.

YMMV.

Included below:

-----
/etc/init.d/fcgiwrap (systemd, I know, I know, but this still works)

my $socket_path = $ARGV[0] || '/run/nginx/cgi.sock';
my $num_children = $ARGV[1] || 1;
 
close STDIN;
 
unlink $socket_path;
my $socket = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(
    Local => $socket_path,
    Listen => 100,
);
 
die "Cannot create socket at $socket_path: $!\n" unless $socket;
 
for (1 .. $num_children) {
    my $pid = fork;
    die "Cannot fork: $!" unless defined $pid;
    next if $pid;
 
    exec $bin_path;
    die "Failed to exec $bin_path: $!\n";
}
