nginx clean urls and image styles..

Right..

In that case is there any way to know what's going wrong? I get no log messages for that

Sorry guys but still no luck

Here is a bit more insight on my setup

nginx -V

nginx: nginx version: nginx/1.0.6
nginx: TLS SNI support enabled
nginx: configure arguments: --prefix=/etc/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --with-debug --with-http_addition_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_geoip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-ipv6 --with-sha1=/usr/include/openssl --with-md5=/usr/include/openssl --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --add-module=/usr/src/nginx/source/nginx-1.0.6/debian/modules/nginx-echo --add-module=/usr/src/nginx/source/nginx-1.0.6/debian/modules/nginx-upstream-fair

nginx.conf for the domain (included in the main nginx.conf)

  include /etc/nginx/include/expires-header;
  include /etc/nginx/include/deny-rules;

  location = /favicon.ico {
      log_not_found off;
      access_log off;
  }

  location = /robots.txt {
      allow all;
      log_not_found off;
      access_log off;
  }

  # This matters if you use drush
  location = /backup {
      deny all;
  }

  # Very rarely should these ever be accessed outside of your lan
  location ~* \.(txt|log)$ {
      allow 127.0.0.1;
      deny all;
  }

  location ~ \..*/.*\.php$ {
      return 403;
  }

  location / {
     index index.html index.htm index.php;
     try_files $uri @rewrite;
     expires max;
  }

  location ~* files/styles/ {
     expires max;
     try_files $uri @rewrite;
  }

  location ~* files/generate {
     expires max;
     try_files $uri @rewrite;
  }

  location @rewrite {
     # Some modules enforce no slash (/) at the end of the URL
     # Else this rewrite block wouldn't be needed (GlobalRedirect)
     rewrite ^ /index.php last;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
     fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
     # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
     include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
     fastcgi_pass unix:$base/php.sock;
  }

  location ~* ^.+\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|xml)$ {
     expires max;
     root /home/hosting/domains/secf/#My_Domain#/docroot;
  }

Do you guys see anything that pops out as invalid ?

yeah sorry It's on Drupal 7 :)

http status seems to be 302 (it's the POST right?)!!
(I get 200 on the GET request)

But thanks so much for pointing that out!
Getting closer...

$request->code gives me "-111" on clean urls test -> ie network error :(

That made me notice that the "drupal_http_request_fails" flag is set to TRUE !!!

now that makes sense... kind of...

the site is updating fine and http requests seems to go out :\

suggests an iptables problem?

@stream_socket_client($socket, $errno, $errstr, $options['timeout']); fails!

and that seems to be the problem

The test uses base_url. Is that set in your settings.php file? Is it set correctly or is it rewriting from www or something?

you have some theme with JS that makes use of a lot of AJAX? I had a problem like that some time ago and it was due to the admin theme that didn't let the request finish.

ok I resign..

I just fixed the url by overriding image_style_url function in my template.php

@Stan

thanks for the feedback.

regarding sef urls it turned out that socket outbound calls were blocked in my iptables, hence failling the test. with that in mind forcing sef urls was the way to go and it just works ;)
