Hiphop-php HHVM working with Codeigniter and Nginx

hhvm-codeigniter

I managed to make Codeiniter work with HHVM, using
nginx as a proxy. My problem was that hhvm has problems
with path_info, so I was not able to run /index.php/controller/action or
/controller/action/params -> /index.php/controller/action.params.

I used nginx as a proxy to hhvm. I changed the way codeigniter process
the url. Steps bellow:

Cleaned my HHVM .hdf file:
Server {
  Port = 9000
  SourceRoot = /usr/share/nginx/www/mysystem
}

VirtualHost {
  * {
  	Pattern = .*
	}
}

Configure Nginx:

server {
	server_name mymachine;
	root /usr/share/nginx/www/mysystem;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;
	proxy_redirect off;
	# Copy request_uri to variable $myuri before processing
	set  $myuri  $request_uri;
	location / {
		# Check if a file exists, or route it to index.php.
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
	}
	# Send *.php to Hiphop hhvm
	location ~ \.php$ {
		proxy_set_header MY_SCRIPT $myuri;
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
	}
}

Changed Codeigniter file /application/config/config.php
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol']	= 'HTTP_MY_SCRIPT';

Restart eveything and it is working for me

This is exactly what I'm looking for! I get it running and can load index.html files, but when I try to load a simple hello.php file (much less a CodeIgniter directory/controller), I get "Not Found" errors with nothing in the error.log file.

Any ideas? Thanks so much. Been trying to get this working for a long time!

EDIT: Never mind, got it working. It only works in a CI root directory. Thank you!

So, what's the performance like?

Sounds great. Does anyone know how to port that to heroku ?

I made it work without any special conf

Yeah I'm wondering about the performance too. Is it much better on HHVM?

Also, has the path_info problem been resolved?

Has anyone cracked it yet? how does it affects?

• performance
• url structure
