Hello, let me introduce another nginx module. ngx\_slowfs\_cache is a module which allows caching of static files (served using “root” directive). This enables one to create fast caches for files stored on slow filesystems, for example: - storage: network disks, cache: local disks, - storage: 7,2K SATA drives, cache: 15K SAS drives in RAID0. Module configuration directives: slowfs\_cache, slowfs\_cache\_key, slowfs\_cache\_purge, slowfs\_cache\_path, slowfs\_temp\_path, slowfs\_cache\_min\_uses, slowfs\_cache\_valid, slowfs\_big\_file\_size. Module configuration variables: $slowfs\_cache\_status. This module was fully funded by [c2hosting.com](http://c2hosting.com). For more information & download please visit: [http://labs.frickle.com/nginx\_ngx\_slowfs\_cache/](http://labs.frickle.com/nginx_ngx_slowfs_cache/) Best regards, Piotr S. \< removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid \> ---

Hi Piotr. I’d like add your new module to FreeBSD ports tree for www/nginx and www/nginx-devel ports. It looks like your module can’t be build with latest stable version 0.7.64, but builts successfully with development version 0.8.30. Here is compile log with 0.7.64. cc -c -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -I /usr/local/include -D\_LARGEFILE\_SOURCE -DBUILDING\_NGINX -I src/core -I src/event -I src/event/modules -I src/os/unix -I /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/nginx\_http\_push\_module-0.69/src -I objs -I src/http -I src/http/modules -I /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/ngx\_supervisord-1.2 -I src/mail -o objs/addon/ngx\_slowfs\_cache-1.0/ngx\_http\_slowfs\_module.o /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/ngx\_slowfs\_cache-1.0/ngx\_http\_slowfs\_module.c /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/ngx\_slowfs\_cache-1.0/ngx\_http\_slowfs\_module.c: In function ‘ngx\_http\_slowfs\_static\_send’: /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/ngx\_slowfs\_cache-1.0/ngx\_http\_slowfs\_module.c:227: error: ‘ngx\_open\_file\_info\_t’ has no member named ‘read\_ahead’ /usr/home/osa/ports/www/nginx/work/ngx\_slowfs\_cache-1.0/ngx\_http\_slowfs\_module.c:227: error: ‘ngx\_http\_core\_loc\_conf\_t’ has no member named ‘read\_ahead’ \*\*\* Error code 1 Anyway, thank you for your new module!

Hello, I was wondering if you had added fastcgi.conf from 0.8.30/conf/ folder to the www/nginx-devel port yet. I installed it on two different boxes recently and I had to create the file myself, which is trivial, but we are recommending new configurations to use this file so it would be great if it was there :D. Thanks, Merlin ---
