I've got a standard Rails app with Nginx and Mongrel running at http://mydomain. I need to run a Wordpress blog at http://mydomain.com/blog. My preference would be to host the blog in Apache running on either the same server or a separate box but I don't want the user to see a different server in the URL. Is that possible and if not, w...
When dealing with mobile clients it is very common to have multisecond delays during the transmission of HTTP requests. If you are serving pages or services out of a prefork Apache the child processes will be tied up for seconds serving a single mobile client, even if your app server logic is done in 5ms. I am looking for a HTTP server, ...
I know this is not directly a programming question, but people on stackoverflow seems to be able to answer any question. I have a server running Centos 5.2 64 bit. Pretty powerful dual core 2 server with 4GB memory. It mostly serves static files, flash and pictures. When I use lighttpd it easily serves over 80 MB/sec, but when I test...
I have a scenario like this which I want to use capistrano to deploy my ruby on rails application: The web application is on a thin cluster with the config file stored under /etc/thin. also an init script is in /etc/init.d/thin, so it would start automatically whenever my server needs a reboot Also nginx is executed the same way (as an...
I'm running a Django site using the fastcgi interface to nginx. However, some pages are being served truncated (i.e. the page source just stops, sometimes in the middle of a tag). How do I fix this (let me know what extra information is needed, and I'll post it) Details: I'm using flup, and spawning the fastcgi server with the followin...
What to use for a medium to large python WSGI application, Apache + mod_wsgi or Nginx + mod_wsgi? Which combination will need more memory and CPU time? Which one is faster? Which is known for being more stable than the other? I am also thinking to use CherryPy's WSGI server but I hear it's not very suitable for a very high-load applicati...
I'm looking at setting up a small company that hosts flash-based websites for artist portfolios. The customer control panel would be django-powered, and would provide the interface for uploading their images, managing galleries, selling prints, etc. Seeing as the majority of traffic to the hosted sites would end up at their top level d...
We're using HAProxy as a load balancer at the moment, and it regularly makes requests to the downstream boxes to make sure they're alive using an OPTIONS request: OPTIONS /index.html HTTP/1.0 I'm working with getting nginx set up as a reverse proxy with caching (using ncache). For some reason, nginx is returning a 405 when an OPTI...
There's an option to hide the version so it will display only nginx, but is there a way to hide that too so it will not show anything or change it? ...
I'm writing an image bank with Django, and I want to add a button to get a hi-res version of an image (the low-res is shown in the details page). If I put just an <a> link, the browser will open the image instead of downloading it. Adding an HTTP header like: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="beach008.jpg" works, but since...
It seems that nginx is used with php, ruby and python. Anyone has an example of how to setup nginx to work with jetty/tomcat in backend? Thanks. ...
I've been researching modules for Nginx (my preferred webserver) to serve a Lisp webapp, but I haven't been able to find anything. Is there modules for Nginx, or is there better ways to serve Lisp webapps? If so, what are they? ...
I'm looking to convert the following mod_rewrite rule to the Nginx equivalent: RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ /bar/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^foo/*$ /bar/index.php [L,QSA] So far I have: rewrite ^foo/(.*)$ /bar/index.php?title=$1&$query_string last; rewrite ^foo/?$ /bar/index.php?$query_string break; The problem is (I think...
I'm running a django instance behind nginx connected using fcgi (by using the manage.py runfcgi command). Since the code is loaded into memory I can't reload new code without killing and restarting the django fcgi processes, thus interrupting the live website. The restarting itself is very fast. But by killing the fcgi processes first so...
So I am following this guide: http://technotes.1000lines.net/?p=23 and I am going through the steps. I have a VPN (slicehost.com) with Debian Etch, serving a website (static so far) with nginx. I used wget to download FastCGI and I did the usual make make install routine. So I guess since FastCGI can't normally run CGI scripts you have...
EDIT: So I just found out that GET methods indeed work, but POST methods however do not work! That might be significant. So I am on Debian Etch, running Nginx. Nginx does not normally serve cgi/pl files so I have followed a guide to get my backend working. http://technotes.1000lines.net/?p=23 My backend works fine on Apache but I had ...
The Zend Framework based site I have been working on is now being migrated to its production server. This server turns out to be nginx (surprise!). Naturally the site does not work correctly as it was developed on Apache and relies on an htaccess file. My question is... anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas on how to translat...
The changelog lists version 0.7.8 as the version that introduces the $arg_X notation to access the HTTP GET parameter X from within nginx.conf. Unfortunately, the wiki is very up to date. How do you access HTTP GET parameters from within nginx.conf before this version? ...
I need to do a rewrite with nginx from /blah/.../3275 to /id/3275 if the second file exists, otherwise I want to hand it off to apache. Here is my (feeble) attempt (...) represents irrelevant stuff if ($request_filename ~^/.../([0-9]+)/$) { if (-d /id/$1) { rewrite ^/.../[0-9]+/([0-9]+)/$ /id/$1; ...
I'm running two mongrels under an Nginx server. I keep getting requests for a nonexistent file. The IP addresses change frequently but the referring URL stays the same. I'd like to resolve this. ...
