I really felt in love with Nginx I am using it and experimenting with it.
As I already said in a previouse post about Compiling Nginx with gzip_static, one of the features I like the most is the gzip_static.
Nginx can serve gzipped content in two ways.
I have an nginx instance built with the gzip_static module
nginx version: nginx/1.2.6
built by gcc 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11)
TLS SNI support disabled
configure arguments: --prefix=/home/nginx --user=nginx --group=nginx
--without-http_autoindex_module --without-http_empty_gif_module
--without-http_scgi_module --with-http_ssl_module
--with-http_gzip_static_module --with-pcre=./library/pc
Nginx is a web server / proxy server, according to Wikipedia, this is the description:
I have gzip enabled on nginx 1.2.8, but for some reason, it is not gzipping anything.
Nginx install info:
nginx version: nginx/1.2.8
built by gcc 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1)
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --prefix=/usr/local/nginx-1.2.8 --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-pcre --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --add-modul
From what I've read both NGINX and OS will cache static files being served in memory. Is there a way to set how much RAM NGINX is allowed to use? My web server will be exclusively serving a large amount of ephemeral static files from disk and I want these to be served from RAM when possible.
I also saw a post that claimed reading from disk will block an entire nginx worker. Is this true?
Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04
This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with
nginx on Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04. While nginx itself does not serve
CGI, there are several ways to work around this.

I have added a X-Accel-Expires header on my static contents as well as a Last-Modified header.
I would like to know whats the correct setting to cache those elements without caching anything else.
This is what I have at the moment but it doesn't cache anything :
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
client_max_body_size 2000m;
k
How can gzip be turned off for a particular location and all its sub-directories? My main site is at http://mydomain.com and I want to turn gzip off for both http://mydomain.com/foo and http://mydomain.com/foo/bar.
I tried turning off gzip as shown below, but the Response Headers in Chrome's dev tools shows that Content-Encoding:gzip.
