Hi Niphlod! I am using nginx as server and when I tried to use:
response.headers['X-Accel-Redirect'] = os.path.join(request.folder, 'uploads', document.file) return '' mine is: *... path = splits[0] + '.' + splits[1] + '/' + splits[2][:2] + '/' global_path = path + image filename = os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',global_path) response.headers['X-Accel-Redirect'] = filename * *return ''* *filename is returning: "/home/www-data/web2py/applications/indiana/uploads/site.logo_montadora/b6/site.logo_montadora.b67dbafcc4aa040e.666f72642e6a7067.jpg" * It raises error 404. I have checked the path: www-data@li69-46:/$ ls -alh /home/www-data/web2py/applications/indiana/uploads/site.logo_montadora/b6/site.logo_montadora.b67dbafcc4aa040e.666f72642e6a7067.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 31K Aug 16 11:04 /home/www-data/web2py/applications/indiana/uploads/site.logo_montadora/b6/site.logo_montadora.b67dbafcc4aa040e.666f72642e6a7067.jpg And www-data user is able to read it... Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to enable anything on nginx side? 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19 (Running on nginx/1.1.19) Thanks in advance!
