nginx and php-fpm on openSUSE

fast alternative to Apache httpd2 and mod_php5

Yast install of nginx and php-fpm. The only snag was the old Apache public_html folders which we solved with a bit of regex. Just edit:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

user  nginx;
worker_processes  1;
error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
    use epoll;
}
http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    include conf.d/*.conf;
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;
location ~* ^/~(.+?)(/.*\.php)$
{
        alias /home/$1/public_html$2;
        fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}
location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
        alias /home/$1/public_html$2;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
        autoindex on;
}
        location / {
            root   /srv/www/htdocs/;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   /srv/www/htdocs/;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
            root           html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /srv/www/htdocs/$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }
    }
include vhosts.d/*.conf;
}

Don't forget to start it:
systemctl start nginx
systemctl start php-fpm
