Nginx

I've been using nginx as a static file server and a reverse proxy to apache mod_php for a while now and it's been great. I had some time to experiment with the full monty of nginx recently on a development box. I thought I'd share some of my simple benchmarks vis-a-vis my old setup, and also pose a question re: a problem I've encountered. First the benchmarks:

i am currently trying to install nginx as a reverse proxy on an apache2 debian squeeze server. I tried using nginx on its own but kept facing problems so i decided to use apache as am more familiar with it. Is there a good recent tutorial i can follow? the pressflow7 site will have a lot of images. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

With apache Drupal has able to set the folder permissions. But with Nginx I must to do that manually,

Maybe because my Nginx/Group user is Nginx and folder's owner/group is Root?

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hello, I am investigating a problem using Nginx with imagecache.

I have described the problem in the Imagecache issue queue http://drupal.org/node/615418#comment-5981692

In a nutshell, Imagecache is not renaming files correctly on i) file upload and ii) using the Media module for accepting Youtube links. One suggestion is using a Rewrite rule for 'B' (escape backreferences) if using Apache (reported as working). However we are using Nginx.

I am using perusio https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx config with Drupal 7.14 for testing.

HI,

I'm attempting to get nginx and php fpm up running on a linode 512 and having some issues. Most tutorials that I find are geared towards folks with more knowledge than me. What I'm needing I think is a total newbie's guide.

Things I find I need to know most guides don't tell me:

What php modules to install and enable before configuring nginx.
What users to create, if any, for the web server (I keep seeing www-data reference in some places)

I am using nginx as my webserver and i want to use it as a reverse proxy because am afraid installing varnish would waste ram. Does anyone know were i can get a good script that will enable be to achieve this. I am using a debian server, mysql and pressflow 7. I've heard of the cache warmer module but am not sure how to use it.

Hi

From the moment of the installation of the new server I have a problem with placing simple url. I tried to use the previous configuration and unfortunately is out of order.

I tried also following hints:

• http://github.com/yhager/nginx_drupal
• http://wiki.nginx.org/Drupal
• http://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx

At these NginX configurations he is showing the plenty of mistakes and unfortunately is out of order...

I use:

• Ubuntu 11.04
• Fpm-php
• Nginx 1.2.0
• Pressflow 7.

My nginX.conf:


user www-data;
worker_processes 2;

When I login with admin role and navigate to Modules > Install Module, pick a local file and then click Install I get redirected to /authorize.php?batch=1&op=start&id=12 which generates a 404. This happens with perusio's drupal.conf as well as drupal_boost.conf. Reverting to MKTecknology's very basic nginx.conf restores functionality.

System details:

Running Arch Linux:

$ uname -a
Linux charon 3.2.13-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 24 09:10:39 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

$ nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.1.18

It used to be that gzip compression setting were found within the nginx.conf file, such as:

However, looking over the latest within the nginx-for-drupal repo it's simply turned on by default.
