Apache2 + Nginx

Nginx can't locate photos (eg. /m/photo/get_image/browse/43hwg9jg498g4349g5hw490.jpg).

Any idea on what I have to change?

Thanks!

Looks like the rewrite rule didn't correctly kick in.

Any suggestions, people?

I know that BoonEx is using Nginx on http://www.boonex.us/. You may be able to contact them and ask how they got around making everything work.

Actually I got rewrite rules converted and working.

Since PHP's not configured for Nginx, and the photos are actually a PHP, the resource codes pop right up.

I will ask around. Thanks!

you need to put it inside location / {

regarding the issue with files - it is very common in nginx to server static files differently, try to remove the block which serve static files, like .jpg, .html, etc and it should work.

AWESOME, Alex!

By the way, in regards to removing blocks for static files, does that mean that I can't use Nginx to serve static files, which is my main purpose to use it as a reverse proxy?

You can still server static files, but you need more complicated rules for it, to not serve dynamic files with static extensions.

Will it be a good idea to completely move over to Nginx?

It looks pretty fast over Apache2.

Yes, sure.

Nginx is full featured webserver, it can completely replace apache.

However there are some incompatibilities with server software, for example with cPanel or other server control panels.

Can you please provide a working example of this?

Thanks!

Here is small tutorial about specific Nginx configuration for Dolphin:
