How to use location before rewrite - 9 years ago

I have a set of rewrite rules as rewrite ^/(.*) /script.php?file=$1 last; location ~ \.php$ { php proxy } but I want to make a few exceptions as location = file1|file2|file3 { static delivery } but rewrite will change any static file to php file before the latter location. I cannot use rewrite inside the location, as it should generate php script before location (and I have o

How to serve subdomain from subfolder of the domain root? - 9 years ago

In a server as server { server_name domain.com *.domain.com root /var/www/$server_name; } is it possible to set locations for subdomains based on subfolders of the $server_name ? location matching sub1.domain.com { serving from /var/www/$server_name/sub1 } Currently, I am using a server for each subdomain, but when the number of subdomains increases, maintaining numerous server

Re: a regex for rewrite - 9 years ago

Thanks for very subtle suggestion. I do agree with you and follow this strategy (to use programming language for processing the url arguments).

location vs. rewite - 10 years ago

I want to server favicon from a different place rather than the root folder. As I explored I have two options 1. location = /favicon.ico { alias /var/www/media/images/favicon.X.ico; } 2. rewrite ^/favicon.ico /var/www/media/images/favicon.X.ico last; As I understand the second one needs an additional regex check for every request to check if the url is favicon or not (imagine that we h

Using FastCGI for python - 10 years ago

FastCGI is language-independent and like cgi can serve all languages, but setting up nginx with fcgiwrap and spawn-fcgi is only used for serving Perl. Almost all tutorials and instructions use this method for Perl-FasctCGI. For serving Pythong scripts, the dominant method is uWSGI. Is there any limitation for using FastCGI for Python that it is not usual? or the reason is merely that uWSGI is b

Wildcard subdomains (any change in nginx?) - 10 years ago

I was using wildcard for including all subdomains for a server_name as server_name domain.com; I just installed nginx 1.2.3, but this configuration no longer works and subdomains lead to nginx 404 page. Since I followed a standard procedure of installation via apt-get, I suspect something has been changed in new versions of nginx. Now, I can only use wildcard for subdomains with server

Serving direct static image vs via php - 11 years ago

Serving static files is the native behavior of nginx, and when we use gateway for scripting, it needs more works by nginx. Thus, loading a php file should take more time than loading an image file. I compare the speed of loading an image file with serving via php by $image=imagecreatefromjpeg($imagepath); header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); imagejpeg($image); Surprisingly (at least to m

Re: Problem with large static files - 11 years ago

Thanks for very useful description, Maxim! Actually, I suspected the nature of 0.000 request time; but what makes me wonder is that it takes only 3ms to process a relatively php file with output of 5KB. Then, why reading a static file of 15KB should take 600ms? If it is normally the case, isn't it better to save images as data instead of file? PHP should process a base64 string faster.

Problem with large static files - 11 years ago

I have a strange problem with slow load of relatively large files. On a domain without proxy (designed for serving static files), the request time (as monitored by access log $request_time) for an simple jpg image file of 5KB is 0.000s (seems to be shorter than 1ms). Thus, one expect to load an image file of 15KB within 3ms, but surprisingly it takes about 600ms. A static file of 15KB is not big

Re: How to use C as a scripting language? - 11 years ago

Thanks James! The idea of building a mini-webserver for C programming is brilliant. I searched a lot to find a guidance for building very basic web server in C (obviously I prefer to write the web server in C with native API for C files); but I was unable to find. All web servers in C are advanced applications such as nginx. Could you please give me a hint how to start to write a mini web server

How to use C as a scripting language? - 11 years ago

I am using php in nginx. I wonder how can I modify nginx configuration to work with C too. Considered a simple c file (hello.c and compiled as a.out) with printf of printf("Content-type: text/html\r\nStatus: 200 OK\r\n\r\n"); printf("Hello World"); how can I display Hello World by browsing the compiled version on localhost/a.out

Legacy versions prior to 0.5 - 11 years ago

I've tried most of lightweight web servers, and nginx is truly amazing and my beloved webserver. Thus, I decided to profoundly study nginx to better understand it. The oldest version available for download is 0.5 I wonder if there is a repository to download earlier versions of nginx? And is there a version working without installation? I mean very basic version that works just by running ng

Re: Nginx without access log - 11 years ago

As I explored, simply removing access_log and error_log from nginx configuration makes the process for nginx more complicated; thus, it takes more time to complete the request. Instead, error_log should be turned off by error_log /dev/null crit; but how to turn off the access log?

Nginx without access log - 11 years ago

Obviously nginx needs a time (even very short) to write access and error logs upon every request. Thus, theoretically, removing access and error logs from nginx configuration should speed up the web server. Surprisingly, when I did so, the load of my website became slower. Is it normal? NOTE: I know that logs are useful and needed for real experiences; I just try to better understand nginx as m
