Hello,

```
 We are running a video stream website and using nginx(1.2.1) for

```

streaming. Whenever user plays the video it started smoothly but  
buffering  
stopped on the mid point and user have to seek again to play the video.  
I  
am sorry for my bad english. Its an urgent issue that is why i am  
texting  
crazy. I have already checked the file-descriptors error but have found  
nothing in the logs but there’s a suspicious error “[notice] 57324#0:  
signal process started”

Help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Get nginx 1.2.8. There are at least 2 bugfixes regarding mp4  
streaming between 1.2.1 and the latest stable version.

We are facing issues regarding flv and somehow things are fix and  
smooth  
and i haven’t done anything :(. But i want to prevent these issues for  
the  
future. The source i used to download nginx is  
[Index of /download/](http://nginx.org/download/) .  
Please check my nginx.conf file may be there’s some wrong settings there  
:-

user nginx;  
worker\_processes 8;  
worker\_rlimit\_nofile 300000; #2 filehandlers for each connection  
#error\_log logs/error.log;  
#error\_log logs/error.log notice;  
#error\_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

events {  
worker\_connections 6000;  
use epoll;  
}  
http {  
include mime.types;  
default\_type application/octet-stream;  
client\_body\_buffer\_size 128K;  
sendfile\_max\_chunk 128k;  
client\_header\_buffer\_size 256k;  
large\_client\_header\_buffers 4 256k;  
output\_buffers 1 512k;  
server\_tokens off; #Conceals nginx version  
#access\_log logs/access.log main;  
access\_log off;  
sendfile off;  
ignore\_invalid\_headers on;  
client\_header\_timeout 3m;  
client\_body\_timeout 3m;  
send\_timeout 3m;  
keepalive\_timeout 0;  
reset\_timedout\_connection on;

etc etc

}

These are the particular settings in my nginx.conf file. Please let me  
know  
if you want the rest of config.

The issue has been resolved. It was monit who was creating issues and  
closing nginx connection during buffering. I changed the version of  
monit  
from 4.1\* to 5.1\* and there ain’t no error in logs regarding “signal  
process started” . Thanks
