I welcome, I am here new and if I am writing in the bad department I apologise. Around drupalem earlier I already had the contact but now already on seriously and wants on the base drupal 7 to build the web page. My server is VPS with the system ubuntu, I installed server www nginx because he is being efficienting very much and here my problem appeared. Because images which he is adding aren’t reading carefully to articles. After using automatic sending the picture to the server the link to him is following: [http://site.com/sites/default/files/field/image/my\_image\_fakt02022011\_470.jpeg](http://site.com/sites/default/files/field/image/my_image_fakt02022011_470.jpeg) But already after writing articles the link is following: [http://site.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/my\_image\_fakt02022011\_470.jpeg](http://site.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/my_image_fakt02022011_470.jpeg) And he isn’t being shown, and if I write the link of the picture down in the browser: [http://site.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/my\_image\_fakt02022011\_470.jpeg](http://site.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/my_image_fakt02022011_470.jpeg) Server nginx is giving mistake 404: 404 Not Found nginx/0.8.54. I configured nginx according to it: [Drupal | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/Drupal) Perhaps somebody had similar probilem and does know how to fix it? I will still add that for the keying become integrated of editor wyswig tinymce. On lighttpd everything acted well but how I changed the www server on nginx then images don’t just work my real address is replacing sites with [site.com](http://site.com) I apologise for my weak English very thanks also my topic on [drupal.org](http://drupal.org): [Images are missing in drupal 7 working on nginx | Drupal.org](http://drupal.org/node/1048570) Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Images are missing in drupal 7 working on nginx](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,172146,172146#msg-172146)** > > I welcome, I am here new and if I am writing in the bad department I apologise.

[http://groups.drupal.org/nginx](http://groups.drupal.org/nginx) There are some sample configs linked at the top of that page, though some of those are for Drupal6 and not Drupal7. In Drupal7, images in the /styles directory have to send their 404s to Drupal for creation of alternate images, just like images in /imagecache for Drupal6. Something like: location ~ ^._/files/styles/._$ { access\_log off; expires 45d; error\_page 404 @drupal; } If you want to post your full config over at [groups.drupal.org/nginx](http://groups.drupal.org/nginx) folks will be happy to help.

I would say that you seem to miss a location with a fallback to Drupal so that the images are (re)generated if they don’t exist. A rule like Brian indicated is what it takes. You can see my config here [GitHub - perusio/drupal-with-nginx: Running Drupal using nginx: an idiosyncratically crafted bleeding edge configuration. · GitHub](https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx) that contemplates drupal 7 or others at the top of the group page: [http://groups.drupal.org/nginx](http://groups.drupal.org/nginx) In general the drupal group is the place to be for Nginx and Drupal related issues. — appa ---

I’ve said that the rule is now is _much simpler_. As per the rest. Bryan’s reply coupled with mine already gave you a solution. I’m afraid that isn’t going to be of much help to you if you don’t consider your config as a whole and just ask questions about snippets without considering the remaining. Post it here all of ti or at the Drupal Nginx group if you want us to help you debugging it. — appa
