Quoc Huy Nguyen Dinh	Monday 09 May 2011 3:24:36 am Great tutorial! Well done and thanks for sharing to the community. I've been using Nginx for some times now but as a proxying server. I've basically configure it to proxy cache all binary files and optionally forward the requests to dynamic content to another server running with Apache. Then using a modified all2evcc extension I can clear the cache on publishing by calling the purge URL handled by NGX Cache Purge plugin.

Øien	Saturday 04 June 2011 5:08:22 am Update: with the recent Dotdeb packages, the tutorial should work exactly the same on a Debian 5 "Lenny" server, with the following exception: in /etc/apt/sources.list, add deb http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org oldstable all instead of deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all Daniel A.

Sander van den Akker	Saturday 11 June 2011 2:03:43 pm Thanks for sharing this! I'm seriously considering ditching Apache from my development environment and replacing it with Nginx. I still have one small problem. Your set of rewrite rules works like a charm but index.php is still in the url string. This used to work in Apache (even with the rewrite rules in .htaccess, although I needed the ForceVirtualHost=true ini setting). Anyone got a solution to this? Edit: I had a misconfiguration in the MatchOrder. Don't know how this reflected on the above problem, but solved! eZ Publish certified developer http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/392313
Daniel A. Øien	Friday 19 August 2011 1:32:00 am Another detail that you might find useful: to control upload filesizes, there are three settings that you need to configure, one of which is particular to Nginx. In the server block of your nginx sites (usually in /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite, or in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf if you're not using sites) you need to add (examples using 50 MB): client_max_body_size 51m; Where XX is the desired maximum post size. This needs to be slightly higher than upload_max_filesize (see below). You should also set in php.ini (/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini): upload_max_filesize = 50M post_max_size = 51M The last one needs to be higher than upload_max_filesize as it takes into account other POST data in addition to the actual file.
