Setting up NginX
Version 2.5 by Manuel Smeria on 2012/12/18
I'm running XWiki Enterprise on the Glassfish 2 Application Server.
NginX listens on vostrets.ru:80 and redirects HTTP queries to vostrets.ru:8080 and thus NginX is referred to as "frontend" and Glassfish as "backend".
Glassfish is installed in the /user/local/glassfish/glassfish folder.
For more information you can consult the NginX manual.
I've configured my NginX as follows (/etc/nginx.conf):
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
events
{
worker_connections 1024;
use epoll;
}
http
{
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
server
{
listen 80;
server_name vostrets.ru;
# redirect all http://vostrets.ru/* requests to http://www.vostrets.ru/*
rewrite ^(.*) http://www.vostrets.ru$1 permanent;
}
server
{
listen 80;
server_name www.vostrets.ru;
charset utf-8;
access_log /var/log/nginx_access.log;
# count skin images for static data, though they are in "bin" path
location ~* ^/xwiki/bin/skin/(.*)\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico)$
{
access_log off;
rewrite ^/xwiki/bin/skin/(.*) /xwiki/$1 permanent;
expires max;
}
# fetch all the data, which doesn't lie in "bin" path, as static data
location ~* ^/xwiki(?!/bin/).+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|js)$
{
access_log off;
# ${root} is the path, where the static files lie (i.e. ${root}/xwiki/skins/toucan/logo.png)
