Further to my post about getting the MoinMoin wiki system working with FastCGI and Lighttpd, here is how to do the same with NGINX. MoinMoin is configured in FastCGI mode and listening on port 9005

All the fastcgi_param lines up to PATH_INFO are pretty generic and I have them in a separate include file that I pull in for any Fastcgi stanza.

  if ($uri ~ ^/wiki(.*)?) {
    set $wiki_url $1;
  }
  location /wiki {
      fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
      fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx;
      fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
      fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
      fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
      fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;
      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
      fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
      fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
      fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
      fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
      fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
      fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
      fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
      fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

      fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $wiki_url;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /wiki;
      if (!-f $request_filename) {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9005;
      }
  }
