make it executable


create nginx config file

server {
    ##another server config
    listen   80;
    server_name  your_server.name www.mapserver.your_server.name;
    #MapServer
        location / {
                fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9999;
                fastcgi_index  mapserv?*;
                fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv$fastcgi_script_name;
                include fastcgi_params;
 
    }
}


Its all with configurations. Now you can start FastCGI script:

service mapserv start 
And start nginx:

/etc/init.d/nginx start
Go to the localhost/map/ and if you do all right you'll see:


No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty.
Its mean that MapServer+nginx work fine.
