If you want to use fancy URLs and so not have /index.php in every URL please edit /application/config/config.php and change
'showScriptName' => true,
to
'showScriptName' => false,
For this to work properly you must use an Apache webserver with a properly installed mod_rewrite module.
If you are using the Nginx http server (with php running via FastCGI) and want to use the 'urlFormat' => 'path' setting, consider the following Nginx site configuration:
server {
set $host_path "/PATH/TO/LIMESURVEY";
server_name YOUR.SERVER.FQDN;
root /PATH/TO/LIMESURVEY;
charset utf-8;
try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
location ~ ^/(protected|framework|themes/\w+/views) {
deny all;
}
#avoid processing of calls to unexisting static files by yii
location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
try_files $uri index.php;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # Change this to match your settings
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
