nginx

Hello,
Problem: Drupal hosted on a VPS and files(images/css/pdfs etc) served from amazon S3

I'm aware of CDN module, but instead of rewrite urls I would like to instruct nginx to serve amazon s3 files transparently. Is it possible ?

Hi all,

I just want to alert everyone that a number of the stock/sample Nginx configs listed in this group have a problem with CKFinder, a file manager plugin for the CKEditor editor.

The gist of the problem is that the configs limit access to only a handful of PHP scripts from Drupal core such as index.php, update.php, etc. CKFinder happens to generate its interface through a certain connector.php. To solve this, you have to add access to connector.php:

Needed for CKFinder to work

location = /sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php {

Hi all,

Relatively new to Nginx, got a few sites running on it, no problem - we're porting another site over but this one is doing a WSOD on any views pages (as well as Views admin) and refusing to load the Admin module or the Rubik theme. It's truly odd. Linux permissions seem ok (triple-checked), no other issues we can see. We're not getting any meaningful errors in the error log, just the white screen. We installed dtools to get more information and the errors coming back look exactly like this:
http://drupal.org/node/907594

Just pushed it to github. Here's the module for Drupal 6. Up and coming is getting the module hosted on d.o and providing a Drupal 7 version.

Just starting running my sites on an nginx server I set up w/info from vpsBible.com
I'm not sure if nginx normally compresses/gzips or how to tell if I have that enabled. The Drupal perf. page says not to use page compression if the web server does, so... anyone know if nginx + Drupal page compression is a bad idea?
...or how to tell if my nginx is compressing or not?

Hi,

I got "504 Gateway Time-out" when accessing admin/reports/updates/check on my local dev machine.

I suspect the problem is related with my slow internet connection. "updates/check" checks each module and theme for updates. I whant to give more time to nginx. Where I do that?

My configs are stock nginx 0.8.54 + php5-fpm (ubuntu desktop 10.10, I thing) with some changes I made for my environment and other changes are my trys to solve the 504.

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:

server {
listen 82;

root /something/public_html/CMS;

Last week a new module appeared on Drupal.org named Purge.
Purge is designed to selectively purge affected pages from a caching reverse proxy after changes are made to the site. The Purge module can be used to add this functionality to the nginx native cache.

We've just decided the final date for our 1st Drupalcamp in Portugal and I'm going to give a presentation on Nginx and Drupal. This will be the rework of a presentation I gave last November on a meetup at oPorto.

I've finally completed my Nginx config for Drupal.

Feel free to comment on it and suggest improvements.

In terms of SSL/TLS I opted for the defaults in Nginx (after 0.8.21) that limit the available protocol versions do SSLv3 or later and also cross out support for MD5 as message digest algorithm and anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

This article shows a great insight about why to use NGINX for drupal
