I'm serving /foo/bar/ by way of proxypass and want to continue doing so. However, I would like to serve /foo/bar/baz.swf statically from say /var/www/mystatic/baz.swf and so forth. I was hoping that I could do something like location /foo/bar/(.*) { alias /var/www/mystatic/; } location / { proxy_pass ....; ...
I recently setup a new ubuntu machine, with wordpress, spawn-fcgi and nginx. Every morning, I'd try to see my blog and I got a 502 error Bad Gateway error. I tried finding some kind of log of why php-cgi died but couldn't find anything. I run spawn-fcgi like so: sudo /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -g www-data -f...
Let me start by saying that the problem I have looks totally weird to me! On a remote server, I have nginx as the web server and PHP running as a Fast-CGI module. I also host my SVN repository on the same server. Now I have a working copy of the repo on my local computer. I make changes to them, and commit to the repo on my remote serve...
Normally what happens is that requests seem to back up, and apache begins to consume more and more memory and CPU, until eventually it runs out of RAM and then ALL apache processes die, leaving all visitors with no website. This seems to be a common problem from people I speak to but I can't seem to find a solution! Any help much appre...

I have a form with a text area field. I put some text information there and send it as post request. This information is about 2M of text. Everything goes fine with server and database because post request sends this amount of data to server and mysql saves it correctly in DB.

We have a web based application in production built using django. It is deployed on nginx proxied with apache which handles the django app via WSGI. OS is Ubuntu.

Hi- I'm having trouble getting a Rails app to run in the production environment via Phusion Passenger on Nginx/Ubuntu. According to the docs, the environment is controlled by the rails_env option in nginx.conf ... but it runs in development mode on our box regardless of whether we specify 'rails_env production;' or leave it out (the de...
Hello. I wrote a high-performance HTTP event server in C++ and I want to make it work flawlessly with nginx and PHP-FPM (fastcgi). This is a snippet of my nginx configuration. location ~ \.eve$ { gzip off; proxy_redirect off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9001; proxy_interce...

Consider a web app in which a call to the app consists of php script running several MySQL queries, some of them memcached. The PHP does not do very complex job. it is mainly serving the mysql data with some formatting. In the past it used to be recommended to put mysql and the app engine (PHP/Apache) on seperate boxes. However, whe...
This question is related to an older question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2019096/mysql-tracking-system. In short: I have to implement a tracking system that will have high loads using Python. For the database part I've settled on mongoDB (which sounds like the right tool for this job). The development language will be Python. ...
So I'm moving my site away from Apache and onto Nginx, and I'm having trouble with this scenario: User uploads a photo. This photo is resized, and then copied to S3. If there's suitable room on disk (or the file cannot be transferred to S3), a local version is kept. I want requests for these images (such as http://www.mysite.com/p/1_1....
Hi, nginx keeps saying "client intended to send too large body". Googling and RTFM pointed me to "client_max_body_size". I set it to 200m in the nginx.conf as well as in the vhost conf, restarted Nginx a couple of times but I'm still getting the error message. Did I overlook something? The backend is php-fpm (max_post_size and max_uplo...
So there have been lots of articles like this one recently, extolling the virtues of Django Static Generator when used in combination with a light front-end Web server. It makes a whole lot of sense to me. However, I get nothing like the results that other people are reporting -- thousands of requests per second -- and I don't know why ...
