Hi all , just getting my head around Nginx

i have just moved some pages from a apachi hosted server onto my nginx install

one page contains the php code

<div id="sectionB">
<object data="<?echo $row->doc;?>"
type="application/pdf"
width="100%"
height="100%">
</object>
</div>

in the apachi server this would open a frame and display the pdf file for which the URL was in $row (offsite url if thats significant)

in nginx .... nothing , no content, no frame , nada

do i maby need some lines in sites-availiable or something?

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on possible reasons :)

hi again : just refining the problem a bit

Nginx is serving the pdf's fine if they are in there in the folder
<object data="foo.pdf"
type="application/pdf"

but refuses to do this
<object data="http//:somevalidoffsiteurl.com/foo.pdf"
type="application/pdf"

so howcome?
the code worked fine on the apachi server and everything else works good
there are no relevant errors in server-errors.log

Thanks

There must be something in the nginx logs or php logs, sounds like a nginx root setting or php root/base setting.

do i maby need some sort of "location" for that offsite content

Enable debug error logging and nginx will tell you exactly which request matches what location and what it returns from that.
