The difference between mainline and stable is explained here: NGINX 1.6 and 1.7 Released A graphical summary: Among other differences: Note that stable does not mean more reliable or more bug-free. In fact, the mainline is generally regarded as more reliable because we port all bug fixes to it, and not just critical fixes as … Read more
You don’t. That’s the simple answer, anyway — you don’t need it. uWSGI is itself a capable server. However, other servers like nginx have been around longer and are (probably, anyway) more secure, as well as having additional features not supported by uWSGI — for example, improved handling of static resources (via any combination of … Read more
Well, these two directives are slightly functional different because you do not use exact match in the latter case. So, /robots.txt1111 will match your second location too. location =/robots.txt { root /home/www/static/; } is an exact functional equivalent of your first directive.
Remove ‘/m’ from ‘/m/index.php?$args;’
First, you shouldn’t use root directive inside the location block, it is a bad practice. In this case it doesn’t matter though. Try adding a second location block: location ~ /some/path/(?<section>.+)/index.html { proxy_pass http://192.168.1.24/$section/index.html; proxy_set_header Host $host; } This captures the part after /some/path/ and before index.html to a $section variable, which is then used … Read more
Old question, but the issue is because the parent location is a regex location while the nested locations are prefix locations. When a parent location is defined by a regex, any nested locations must also be defined by regexes: location ~ ^/(a|b) { location ~ ^/a { … } location ~ ^/b { … } … Read more
nginx supports the following signals : TERM, INT – Quick shutdown QUIT – Graceful shutdown HUP – Configuration reload: Start the new worker processes with a new configuration, Gracefully shutdown the old worker processes USR1 – Reopen the log files USR2 – Upgrade Executable on the fly WINCH – Gracefully shutdown the worker processes HUP … Read more
Since the answer is somehow hidden in the question – here is the solution for nginx in a VirtualBox environment as standalone answer. In your nginx config (usally /etc/nginx/nginx.conf) or vhost config file change the sendfile parameter to off: sendfile off; While sendfile is at the heart of Nginx’s fame (blazing-fast low-level static file serving … Read more
How can I remove the [warn] and avoid buffering responses? Is it better to turn off proxy_buffering or set proxy_max_temp_file_size to 0? Why? You should set proxy_max_temp_file_size to 0 in order to remove it. The proxy_buffering directive isn’t directly related to the warning. You can switch it off to stop any buffering at all but … Read more
That probably is about the only reason you would use the former construct, these days. The reason you’re seeing this is probably that the default of ipv6only changed in nginx 1.3.4. Prior to that, it defaulted to off; in newer versions it defaults to on. This happens to interact with the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option on … Read more
