nginx Setup Problems

R_JR_J Admin
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I've tried to setup a USB stick with nginx with Vanilla 2.0.18.10 and 2.1b2. They should listen to localhost:8020 and localhost:8021. I found several descriptions and tipps on how to set up nginx with Vanilla and I have V2.0 up and running.
Copying the server entries in ngninx.conf for V2.1 doesn't work.

  1. I get no error log :(
  2. my access log shows "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 31 (too many redirects?)
  3. it creates /cache/c_library_map.ini

Content of the cache file is a little short...

[cache]
gdn = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.gdn.php"
gdn_factory = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.factory.php"
gdn_configuration = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.configuration.php"
gdn_pluggable = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.pluggable.php"
gdn_sliceprovider = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.sliceprovider.php"
gdn_request = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.request.php"
gdn_applicationmanager = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.applicationmanager.php"
gdn_pluginmanager = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.pluginmanager.php"
gdn_cache = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.cache.php"
gdn_format = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.format.php"
gdn_dirtycache = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.dirtycache.php"
gdn_url = "E:\www\vanilla21b2/library/core/class.url.php"

My nginx.conf is

 #user  nobody;
 worker_processes  1;

 #error_log  logs/error.log;
 #error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
 #error_log  logs/error.log  info;

I've already tried a lot of things but always end up with the same access log entry. Can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

    It's a port problem! I've managed to set it up using localhost/vanilla21b2(:80) when setting up a server that has its root at /www and my files are in /www/vanilla21b2
    Afterwards I could see it using localhost:8021 but I couldn't login.
    Now I've set my server to /www/vanilla21b2:80 and everything runs smooth.
    If I set it to /www/vanilla21b2:8021 I can't login...

    Forget about it.

    I do not use that strange port way but instead I will use the directory. No need for creating two separate servers, I think.
