Google Pagespeed module for nginx
A couple weeks ago a Google Pagespeed module for nginx was released as beta. It has some interesting filters that process things like css files, js files, images, html and headers. See https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/filters
I added it to a test version of my Ubuntu 12.04 nginx package on Launchpad. You can install it with
add-apt-repository ppa:brianmercer/testing
aptitude update
aptitude install nginx-pagespeedthen create a directory for it (I'll do this in the package eventually)
mkdir /var/cache/nginx/pagespeedJust started with Nginx but stuck in redirect loops
hey,
just about to move from lighttpd to nginx. but for some reason i can't manage to get it to work. i used perusio config from github but always end up in redirect loops. i got the feeling that i need to learn a bit more about this config and tried a fresh drupal setup with a very minimal nginx conifg out perusio version. but even then i only manage to get redirect loops between / and install.php
can anyone help me to get a minimal working nginx.config for a fresh drupal setup without any fancy stuff?
my nginx.conf:
user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 1;

We recently moved to DigitalOcean and used nginx. My colleague who set it up left the company just right after we launch the site and so we are at a lost on how to solve this problem.
Here are the server logs, if it may help. There are also several config files, which one do I need to display here?
I hope you can help us,thank you in advance.

nginx config for multiple drupal installations
I have been looking/trying this but couldn't find perfect solutions. I was testing multiple Drupal installations and my configs is like
server {
server_name localhost;
listen 80;
root /var/www/mainsite;
}I have main site which has a link to forum and I have forum site in
/var/www/forum; The main site and forum site has their own settings.php and files. It is just separate project but linked with each other, as the forum has link to main site via home button.
how do I acheive this with Nginx, I tried
server {
server_name localhost;
conflicting server name ignored
While restarting Nginx I get the warning mentioned below. I don't have other servers running just one domain with ssl, and I have defined server name after every server block. I'm using 99% Perusio's config, 1% mine server name and some values.

Read moreHas anyone been able to get their Drupal with Nginx to work with image style after 7.20 upgrade?
I have tried several tips and none worked. I also used the recommended fix $conf['image_allow_insecure_derivatives'] = TRUE;, it didn't work. I tried the module version of it http://drupal.org/project/image_allow_insecure_derivatives, still not working.
File Upload Size Limits
I've migrated an OpenAtrium site from Apache to an NGINX server using spawn-fcgi.
I've set my max_uploads and max_post size in php.ini, and made adjustments to the user permissions as far as upload file sizes.
I've tested this issue using the same site and database with Apache, and don't have any upload issues.
Here is the error I get:
The selected file 8mbfile.txt could not be uploaded. The file is 8 MB which would exceed your disk quota of 9 MB.As you can see, my file upload size set in my php.ini is 9MB.
Read moreWhich PHP files of core and modules must be accessible from browser?
First of all, excuse my English. I hope you can understand what I want to ask.
For a long time I have used this NginX config as a template for mine own, but I am very unsatisfied with it's security concerning PHP files. I mean, there are only some PHP files which a really needed for Drupal to work: index.php, update.php and cron.php (install.php used only once and I don't use any features of xmlrpc.php). So I want to rewrite my NginX config to grant access only for enlisted PHP files.
Read moreclean URLs on nginx
Hi.
I posted a nginx question with some configs in the drupal.org post-installation forum. Would anybody have a few minutes to review the config I posted and tell me if they see anything blatently wrong? I simply cannot get clean URLs to work. The config I'm adapting is the boost one, and to note may be that the last commit to that repo was over 3 years ago so maybe there's something new?
Drupal and nginx upload module
I've been looking at using the upload module with drupal but I have not found any module that uses it, I've found modules that support upload_progress (FileFieldNginx), but when using it the upload is still processed directly by PHP.
Is there a module around that I'm not aware of?
If it does not exist, is that because it makes no sense or because nobody worked on it?

Nginx/FastCGI vs Apache/mod_php: What's faster?
chx shared an interesting article via his Twitter feed today; some speed comparisons of Apache with the mod_php extension (which embeds the PHP interpreter into Apache for faster but less-secure execution) versus Nginx and PHP via FastCGI.

I used Perusio's setup and Nginx and php5-fpm are running without errors. My root files are located at srv/www. I indicated this in the config and enabled the sites with

Read moreNginx config can not get the rewrite right on EC2. Message "The requested page "/" could not be found."
I have been working on this for a few days now and I can not get it to work. I am having the same error after every install on my amazon EC2. I have done the exact steps as on my local machine and it will not work for me on my EC2 server. I am getting to the end of the installation right after it asks for the databases info and it goes to a page saying "Page not found. The requested page "/" could not be found." this is being displayed in the Drupal default theme so it is working. If you are reading this before I get it fixed check out dutgriff.com to see what it is displaying.

I have a site setup were I am benchmarking boost with nginx vs nginx with microcaching and it shows that using microcaching produces a First Byte Time of around 0.984s while nginx+boost without microcaching produces 0.257s.
I know that microcaching should be producing better or similar numbers but in my case it's the appositive.
I like to get to the bottom of this odd issue.
P.S I am using perusio's d6 branch
