Nginx

Today our site (local news) was hit by users that would like to know whats going on.
I have set up 2 years ago dedicated server with memcached turned on and it works great but today.
Provider of data-center told that we have reached about 80 megabit incoming traffic in peak today, proc had about 76% load.

Drupal works as nginx -> php-fpm. When server became slow, i could ssh in server, inspect processes, even worked apache on separate ip - phpmyadmin, and nginx result in 502 error on server.

I migrated via a mysqldump and a tarball a Drupal 7 site from one LAMP server to our LEMP server. I realized Clean URLs does not work, despite clean URLs working on another site (the vhost config is copied from said site). I have a very simple vhost config that calls 'include template;' which has all the good stuff in it, including the rewrite rules for Drupal 7.

I came across something on the nginx wiki (q.v. http://wiki.nginx.org/Drupal under "Notes") that says if you use Drupal in a subdirectory, it needs additional rewrites, and I tried the code, with no success.

I am not sure if we'd pursue with multisite installation, but at the moment we have one site which supports multiple language like:
example.com/en
example.com/es

There seems to be a translation bug/error while using this setup, so, we are thinking about using it as subdomain (might be multisite) like:
en.example.com
es.example.com

But again, we'd also have some other feature not directly related with main site (only the user information) like:
blog.example.com
community.example.com

We're using @perusio's drupal-with-nginx as our baseline configuration, and have an initiative to beef up our testing and test automation infra. Running tests from some or all of the test suite produces a healthy number of fails... many/most of which are to be expected, given the configuration.

Hi all I just wanted to let you know that I created a vhost generation script for unbuntu 12.04 that creates a drupal oriented server{} block.

Hi,

I am planning to install Nginx on a HostGator dedicated server. The problem is they (HostGator) do not support it but can install it and then its up for me to configure it. However, I have no experience configuring Nginx yet. Do you have a sample or a de-facto nginx config for Drupal 6?

Here is my setup:

Installed and configured APC
MySQL running fine
Drupal 6 running on a sub-directory (
/home/myusername/www/siteA.com/
/home/myusername/www/siteB.com/
/home/myusername/www/staging.siteA.com/
/home/myusername/www/staging.siteB.com/
)

Hi. I just bumped into this hurdle... a glaring oversight in my planning effort. We need to temporarily run a v6 site and a v7 site on the same web server, if possible. Currently, the machine is serving up a d6 (pressflow) site and we're using @perusio's drupal-with-nginx project.

The nginx.conf file contains version-specific include directives, and so wondering if it's workable to move these to the relevant vhost for the 6 and 7 sites, respectively?

Well, after years of waiting for version 1.5 to come out, I finally decided to give up recently when upgrading between sub-point-releases of 1.4 on my VPS caused my site to go down (again) and I couldn't quickly figure out why. Yep, even though I founded the Lighty GDO group, I'm running nothing but Nginx now, both on my VPS and locally. Here's a few quick thoughts on the switching experience.

Okay, the problem is simple: images generated by drupal 7's image system in nodes won't show up and i'm getting pissed because it won't work, even with all the info here...

Setup:
Nginx(80)--->apache(8080)(php backend)

Image part in the vhost:
