Changes with nginx 0.7.27 15 Dec
2008

*) Feature: the "try_files" directive.

*) Feature: variables support in the "fastcgi_pass" directive.

*) Feature: now the $geo variable may get an address from a
   variable.
   Thanks to Andrei Nigmatulin.

*) Feature: now a location's modifier may be used without space

before
name.

*) Feature: the $upstream_response_length variable.

*) Bugfix: now a "add_header" directive does not add an empty value.

*) Bugfix: if zero length static file was requested, then nginx just
   closed connection; the bug had appeared in 0.7.25.

*) Bugfix: a MOVE method could not move file in non-existent

directory.

*) Bugfix: a segmentation fault occurred in worker process, if no

one
named location was defined in server, but some one was used in an
error_page directive.
Thanks to Sergey B…

Where can I found examples about how to use try_files and variables
support in the “fastcgi_pass” directive?

fastcgi_pass variable usage (just demonstration):

    location \.php$ {
        resolver      127.0.0.1;
        set           $backend   back1:9000;
        fastcgi_pass  $backend;
    }

back1 will be resolved using named server on 127.0.0.1.
You may also describe back1 upstream to disable onfly resolution:

upstream  back1 {
    server   192.168.1.1:9000;
}

server {

    location \.php$ {
        set           $backend   back1;
        fastcgi_pass  $backend;
    }

or just use IP address:

    location \.php$ {
        set           $backend   192.168.1.1:9000;
        fastcgi_pass  $backend;
    }

try_files:

Mongrel:

location / {
try_files /system/maintenance.html
$uri $uri/index.html $uri.html
@mongrel;
}

location @mogrel {
proxy_pass http://mongrel;
}

Drupal/FastCGI:

location / {
try_files $uri @drupal;
}

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri @drupal;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/$uri;
... other fastcgi_param

}

location = @drupal {
fastcgi_pass …;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/index.php;
fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     q=$request_uri;

... other fastcgi_param

}

Joomla/FastCGI:

location / {
try_files $uri @joomla;
}

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri @joomla;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/$uri;
... other fastcgi_param

}

location = @joomla {
fastcgi_pass …;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/index.php;

... other fastcgi_param

}

Can it be used outside location context?

No, currently it can be use inside location only.
How do you want to use it in server context ?

I check my conf and found no reason to.
Thanks!
