custom HTTPD/Nginx Configuration

[XATRIX]

Hi, i have a trouble. I need to add a custom "location" block to one of my domains. I don't want to make a copy of a template, because of i need it only for the certain domain. Also, i need it permanent so, i decided to use this file for: /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$USER/domains/$DOMAIN.cust_nginx


What i currently have:

# Auto generated nginx config file by DirectAdmin version 1.50.1
# Modifying this file is not recommended as any changes you make will be
# overwritten when the user makes any changes to their website

# For global config changes that affect all Users, see this guide:
# http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=558
# For local config changes that only affect one User, see this guide:
# http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=3


server
{
        listen 78.155.221.251:80;
        server_name somedomain.com www.somedomain.com ;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/somedomain.com.log;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/somedomain.com.bytes bytes;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/domains/somedomain.com.error.log;
        root /home/someuser/domains/somedomain.com/public_html/current/frontend/web;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/someuser/nginx_php.conf;
        location /
        {
                # access_log off;
                proxy_buffering off;
                proxy_pass http://78.155.221.251:8080;
                proxy_set_header X-Client-IP      $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Accel-Internal /nginx_static_files;
                proxy_set_header Host             $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
        location /nginx_static_files/
        {
                # access_log  /var/log/nginx/access_log_proxy;
                alias       /home/someuser/domains/somedomain.com/public_html/current/frontend/web/;
                internal;
        }
        include /etc/nginx/webapps.conf;
}

What i want it to be:

# Auto generated nginx config file by DirectAdmin version 1.50.1
# Modifying this file is not recommended as any changes you make will be
# overwritten when the user makes any changes to their website

# For global config changes that affect all Users, see this guide:

In DA, Admin level, Custom HTTP Configuration, select the domain (the nginx template) and add your require code to CUSTOM3 value.

Yes, it works! Thanks a lot! But i have another one question. I'd like to put/change some more directives like (proxy_cache, proxy_cache_ignore...) to location / {}, any idea how to ?

location /
        {
                # access_log off;
                proxy_buffering off;
                proxy_pass http://78.155.221.251:8080;
                proxy_set_header X-Client-IP      $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Accel-Internal /nginx_static_files;
                proxy_set_header Host             $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }

You cannot change those unless you change the template (not sure if you add another location / section if that override the previous, it may be worth a try.

For the template:

mkdir -p /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/
cp /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/nginx_server.conf /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/nginx_server.conf

Than edit the template /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/nginx_server.conf
And run:

echo "action=rewrite&value=nginx" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue && /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq

Best regards

Hello,

Use |CUSTOM2| section for this in Directadmin. The proxy cache's directives can be easily inserted with it. Just take care of proxy_buffering

sorry to bump old post but wanted to say thanks, was looking for this exact setting to raise client_max_body_size to allow large video file uploads, seems to be working very well
