Hello,

sendfile is OFF by default: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#sendfile

With Directadmin it is ON if you install NGINX with custombuild.

Defaults can be found under:

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/nginx
/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/nginx_reverse

Not too sure what you asking about... if one domain has a customization, then you or somebody else who has admin's or root's access customized it. What exactly you want to know?

Before i use apache, after convert to nginx, the rewrite not work for this sendfile .

Check the documentation http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#sendfile if you want to disable sendfile for a specific domain or location. It has examples.

Then check this https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=3 in order to find how to edit settings for one domain.

i have customization in nginx.conf for mydomain.com (all file are rar type)

location /myfilefolder/ {
internal;
alias /home/mydomian/domains/mydomian.com/public_html/;
}


but looks the browser don't know the archive in unknow format. very strange


br.,

 

[zEitEr]

What is your question? It seems hardly cat I help you as I don't understand what you want. Probably somebody else here can guess what you need.

 

[Richard G]

If I understand correctly, he changed his default /public_html folder in nginx to /myfolder and he uses .rar files in there.
But the browser does not recognize the .rar file format, doesn't recognize this archive and says "unknown format". So he can't download the files.

Ofcourse my interpretation could be wrong too.

 

[Dauser2007]

i have fixed the archive format.
maybe my php file problem , can not detect the file location when i download, this make me crazy :-(

function downloadXFile($fileLocation, $fileName, $maxSpeed = 1024)
{
if (connection_status() != 0)
return (false);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header("X-Accel-Redirect:$fileLocation");


$contentDisposition = 'attachment';

if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE")) {
$fileName = preg_replace('/\./', '%2e', $fileName, substr_count($fileName, '.') - 1);
header("Content-Disposition: $contentDisposition;filename="$fileName"");
} else {
header("Content-Disposition: $contentDisposition;filename="$fileName"");
}

header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
$range = 0;
$size = filesize($fileLocation);

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
list($a, $range) = explode("=", $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']);
str_replace($range, "-", $range);
$size2 = $size - 1;
$new_length = $size - $range;
header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");
header("Content-Range: bytes $range$size2/$size");
} else {
$size2 = $size - 1;
header("Content-Range: bytes 0-$size2/$size");
}

if ($size == 0) {
die('Zero byte file! Aborting download');
}
exit;

return ((connection_status() == 0) and !connection_aborted());
}
