Nginx 1.2.4

Dotdeb’s packages of Nginx 1.2.4 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” (amd64/i386). They fix some minor bugs, please take a look at Nginx’ official Changelog before upgrading.

Please also note that Passenger has been upgraded to the 3.0.17 version.

As usual, if you want to know which module has been included in each Nginx flavor, you just have to look at this document.

@sampath : using Passenger from Dotdeb with another ruby versions than the system’s ones will be painful. If you really want to use ree, install passenger as a gem and run it standalone or with nginx using the passenger-install-nginx-module command.

I’ll think I’ll deprecate nginx-passenger soon, because alternative ways to run rails applications (like unicorn or puma) are much more performant and stable. Sorry.

Not wanting to interfere, but I find the subject interesting.
Isn’t Unicorn still offloading everything that would possibly slow it down (or which it can’t handle) to Nginx, or through the Rack interface?
I don’t know Puma too well, but I thought that was purely Rack based.

I believe there’s a problem with nginx’s default config (valid at least for nginx-light).

root /usr/share/nginx/www;

But there’s no such directory and it causes nginx to loop while searching for index.html out of box:

[error] 2003#0: *1 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to “/index.html”

Changing default root to /usr/share/nginx/html (which actually exists) solves the problem.

@Guil, how i can add expires header on nginx.conf ? Sorry i’m newbee. I have some trouble with expired header nginx from dotdeb
