FAQ, 12 December 2014
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Q: How do the version number and name come together?
|
|||
|
|
A: The version number follows nginx release version numbers + a subversion number specific to
|
|||
|
|
these Windows releases + a random theme name based on Alice in Wonderland
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Q: Why did you not compile in all c++ dependencies? (vcredist)
|
|||
|
|
A: These dependencies are not always the same between Windows versions, with the current native
|
|||
|
|
build it will run on any supported Windows OS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Q: Are the sources available?
|
|||
|
|
A: Not yet, there is still no time table when the sources will be released, I am not finished
|
|||
|
|
yet with this project, when it's time it will go to github
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. Q: Isn't using select slow?
|
|||
|
|
A: No, select is not slow, it's only seems cpu hungry but not in way that hinders high
|
|||
|
|
performance usage, Linux really suffers with select but not Windows despite the Linux
|
|||
|
|
slander about this, our select-boost api has solved this issue
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. Q: Is this a long term project?
|
|||
|
|
A: We will support this project until the cows come home or until we release the sources,
|
|||
|
|
whichever comes first :)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. Q: Do you port every change?
|
|||
|
|
A: No is the short answer, there is a complex evaluation process which determines if a
|
|||
|
|
change is valid or not, it<69>s not just nginx code but add-on<6F>s code interactions which needs
|
|||
|
|
to be evaluated
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7. Q: Why can<61>t I change drives?
|
|||
|
|
A: You can but you need to write a path like Linux, D:\Path becomes d:/Path
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8. Q: Where is the documentation?
|
|||

|
9. Q: What determines changes or addons to be added?
|
|||
|
|
A: It must be useful, it must be an add-on unless the change is minimal and low
|
|||
|
|
impact on the core, it must compile cleanly under Windows, it can<61>t have external
|
|||
|
|
dependencies unless it can be linked to a single dll module, it must not use OS exclusive
|
|||
|
|
functionality. Add-ons are not removed once they are in unless they are bugged
|
|||
|
|
beyond repair
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
10. Q: nginx stop/reload on Windows fails with a <20>Access is denied<65>
|
|||
|
|
A: Run the nginx service as a user (and jail that user), then create a simple cmd file;
|
|||
|
|
- runas /savecred /env /user:nginxuser "nginx -s reload"
|
|||
|
|
- choice /ty,2 /C:ync
|
|||
|
|
- runas /savecred /env /user:nginxuser "nginx -s reopen"
|
|||
|
|
At the first run you need to enter nginxuser's password, after that '/savecred' will take
|
|||
|
|
care of this
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
11. Q: XP is no longer supported after april 2014, are you going to stop support nginx/xp?
|
|||
|
|
A: Are you a lemming? Neither are we, we will keep supporting XP until it<69>s technically
|
|||
|
|
impossible. nginx for Windows native build runs on Windows XP SP3 and higher,
|
|||
|
|
both 32 and 64 bit
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
12. Q: Sometimes we see a delay with LAN traffic, nginx is not doing anything but the request is stalling
|
|||
|
|
A: Make sure you have deactivated netbios (smb) from the lan interface(s)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
13. Q: Does naxsi work for phpbb?
|
|||
|
|
A: Yes it does, but you need to add a few white-list lines:
|
|||
|
|
BasicRule wl:1000 "mz:$URL:/ucp.php|BODY|NAME";
|
|||
|
|
BasicRule wl:1310 "mz:$URL:/ucp.php|BODY|NAME";
|
|||
|
|
BasicRule wl:1311 "mz:$URL:/ucp.php|BODY|NAME";
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
14. Q: What is nginx_basic?
|
|||
|
|
A: Basically a one on one replacement for the windows nginx version which is made by nginx
|
|||
|
|
themselves but with all the benefits and work that has gone into its big brother, which you find
|
|||
|
|
here, without add-ons
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
15. Q: WSARecv() failed (10054: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)
|
|||
|
|
while reading upstream (backend = tomcat, java or similar applications)
|
|||
|
|
A: apply these settings to the proxy:
|
|||
|
|
keepalive_requests 500;
|
|||
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
|||
|
|
context: http, server, location
|
|||
|
|
Version 1.1 is recommended for use with keepalive connections
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
16. Q: Windows Server 2012 message that msvcr100.dll is missing?
|
|||
|
|
A: In some cases:
|
|||
|
|
remove manually "C:\Windows\System32\msvcr100.dll" and (Re)install the program
|
|||
|
|
vcredist_x64 from here http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/
|
|||
|
|
In other cases:
|
|||
|
|
Install both the 32-bit C++ Runtime and the 64-bit version as well
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
17. Q: Is this version production ready? And who is using it in production?
|
|||
|
|
A: Yes it is! And has been for a while, we are using it in a production environment and
|
|||
|
|
we are aware there are quite a few others running our builds
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
18. Q: Did the FD table size increase or am I seeing things?
|
|||
|
|
A: It has increased twofold following an internal Beta and a request to allow more
|
|||
|
|
sustained power with a single worker
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
19. Q: Do I need the openssl files?
|
|||
|
|
A: No! what you have seen is an openssl archive on the download site which has
|
|||
|
|
nothing to do with nginx for Windows, there is no need to download or use it
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
20. Q: Do I need lua51.dll?
|
|||
|
|
A: With nginx.exe you do need it, nginx_basic.exe does not need this library
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
21. Q: What do I do when people say "don<6F>t run nginx under Windows" and "it<69>s not designed
|
|||
|
|
for Windows" ?
|
|||
|
|
A: It depends on your mood, we suggest you reply with "maybe it is time you get your head
|
|||
|
|
unstuck from your ignorant behind", but hey, it is only a suggestion
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
22. Q: Can I use other DLL functions with Lua and import them?
|
|||
|
|
A: Yes but they need to be compiled against http://luajit.org/download.html (at the
|
|||
|
|
moment v2.0.3), use 'findstr "LuaJIT " lua51.dll' to see which version we have shipped,
|
|||
|
|
functions can be used for example: 'local functionname = package.loadlib("External.dll",
|
|||
|
|
"luaopen_Function");' See also these examples http://www.scilua.org/ljsqlite3.html
