Hello NGINX Friends,
we do use NGINX (Engine X) to serve static media and proxy to Apache2 via mod_wsgi.
NGINX is great software! Right now everything works out fine and smooth. we will see how the whole system is performing under heavy traffic. But I guess it will perform well!
Well, a little NGINX issue is still left. Long database-queries which last more than 1 minute the "504 Gateway Time-out" is occurring. We couldn't solve this until now, but hopefully we will get to know the source of the error soon. Must be an issue with NGINX mod_wsgi Apache2 team play. Our visitors do never see the 504 Gateway Time-out, because the media is served fast. But working on the database, can sometimes lead to this error. But its not a big deal, workaround is to go for faster queries. ;-)
Greetings to all nginx friends
