XFileSharing Pro - Have installed Nginx - I have a few questions

[GMC]

1. I searched and saw this

As far as I remember NGinx totally cache upload stream so we can't trace upload progress behind the nginx.
Try to handle upload stream with Apache, and use NGinx for downloads only.

How is this done? sounds interesting

2. I get a 403 error - which I assume is a .htaccess problem. Does anyone know what I need to change to make this work

3. I guess the answer to 1. may help with this question, but anyway

Does the file servers also have to run nginx if the main site runs it?


Cheers

as far as i know; ngnix is not supported , unless you buy custom mod

Well,

xfilesharing will run on nginx without a problem, but without progress bar (because of caching).

As for "custom nginx mod" you're talking about - it's a bit different thing (download speed control, etc). And when doing this mod - we're starting main site on apache and downloads through nginx. OR everything on nginx, but progress bar (all uploads) - via apache.

is there going to be progress bar using fcgi ? that would help getting rid of apache altogether

As far as I know, you should install 3rd party nginx module 'upload progress' to make progress bar is working. However, probably there should be some changes in the script code.

Nginx doesnt work by default

the .htaccess files are detailed and complicated so when you turn nginx on you get 403 access errors

If nginx is supported is there converted files for use with nginx rewrite rules?

It's too complicated now and we're not interested in investing our time into this way now since most users are under apache only.

Converting .htaccess to nginx rewrite rules is the easiest thing.

I have configured to work progress too. The problem is that there should be modified upload.cgi file. So, if get these modifications that sibsoft provides for nginx I think it would be possible to get it work without apache at all.
On local computer I configured nginx/0.8.32+spawn-fcgi+fcgiwrap

how about NginxHttpUploadProgressModule ?
Has anyone tried NginxHttpUploadProgressModule?
