Hello there dear nginx people, I am a beginner in nginx and also to mailing lists. :) Once read the docs I can't say I am sure I remember all the important parts so please excuse me if I am asking something silly. I'm having trouble with using the `value` part `fastcgi_param` of ngx_http_fastcgi. I am using nginx 1.2.5. I am trying to include four spaces between two variables. Here is an example in markdown. This is cross-posted at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21968255
The [fastcgi_param docs](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_param) reads > A value can contain text, variables, and their combination. Does not link or specify explicitly what the text format is or what the combination format is. I am trying to add four spaces between two variables in order to understand the 'expression format' used in `fastcgi_param`. I get errors. Here are relevant parts from `nginx.conf` with line numbers: # try 1 with apostrophe `'` 78: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root' '$fastcgi_script_name; 82: # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root produces nginx: [emerg] unexpected "s" in <nginx.conf>:82 # try 2 (bare) Another try 78: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root $fastcgi_script_name; produces nginx: [emerg] invalid parameter "$fastcgi_script_name" in <nginx.conf>:78 # try 3 with double quotse `"` If I use `"` like this: 78: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root" "$fastcgi_script_name; the error I get is: nginx: [emerg] unexpected end of file, expecting ";" or "}" in <nginx.conf>:128 If I simply do 78: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; as usual, it works, *so I believe there is no other error in my* `nginx.conf`. Tried to look up the [source](http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/browser/nginx/src/http/modules/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.c) but due to its generalized nature, I couldn't yet find where the parse and variable substitution is actually done. How do I mix text and variables in a free-form way with nginx, in particular in the value part of `fastcgi_param`? I am using **nginx 1.2.5**. Thank you, Kristof _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
