Nginx

Hello!
I've installed successfully Nginx with Drupal and FastCGI, But I am trying to achieve better loading times with parallel downloading of site elements.
So I've installed Parallel and now I have cdn1.example.com, cdn2.example.com and cdn2.example.com
They serve images, CSS and JS.
My question is - how to avoid duplicate content? Now if I visit cdn1.example.com I can see everything from example.com
Is there way to do this in settings.php or in Nginx configuration?

I've got a reasonably busy server which was running nginx with memcache (approx 2000 concurrent users, mostly anonymous users viewing pages).

It was running nginx with memcache - apparently happily, but I don't have any benchmarks from that time.

I updated Drupal to 6.15, plus a shed load of modules - not the memcache module, but that appears to be only a gui anyway.

Now, if I set the following in the settings.php file, the site goes offline immediately. It won't come back until I remove the setting;

$conf = array(
'cache_inc' => './sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc',

Hi, Im not Nginx user, but I need to ask before setting up nginx for my drupal website

I need to have my domain.tld running, which means in the domain.tld folder is Drupal installation.

So I will see my website when I browse http://www.domain.tld/

But I have a folder with name "app1" which contains another Drupal installation.

So I will see another Drupal installation when I browse http://www.domain.tld/app1/

I dont want to setup subdomain because this way is far easier and dont need other codes in config file.

This works fine in Apache2, but not works in lighttpd

I'm looking for some help with rewrite rules and multisite. I would like to have the following set up:

1. The "Main" Drupal site, hosted at www.example.com and with all of its modules and themes at /sites/example.com
2. A "Sub" Drupal site, hosted at www.example.com/subsite and with all of its modules and themes at /sites/example.com.subsite

So far #1 works beautifully with the following rewrite rule:


location / {
root /www/example;
index index.php index.html;

            if (!-e $request_filename) {

There is an excellent article on the Drubuntu group about setting up Apache for use in a local development environment. The best thing about it is the clever use of Apache's VirtualDocumentRoot parameter which allows you to set up an infinite number of sites, using just one Apache Virtual host, greatly reducing the time involved with setting up yet another local development site as part of you local multisite development environment. I can simply create a new directory, a symlink and a local hosts entry and I'm up and running with a new site.

Most of the time that I read about people using Nginx with Drupal, they are talking about using it to serve static files, whist passing the php stuff off to an Apache/mod_php backend. Personally, I use Nginx as the front end with fastcgi handling the PHP stuff. What is generally considered to be the 'better' approach? Is one more capable than the other at serving php?

While there are many Aegir related tips and documentation available, including scripts for complete Aegir system install on LAMP stack, we often have clients using Aegir the first time on their new VPS, but with enough experience to manage and transfer Drupal sites, and they often tend to overlook some required steps, they still make simple mistakes, or feel lost in a too detailed how-to, so I think it can be useful to post also some simple check-lists to make the work easier for others and to help enjoy Aegir power and
