Hi!
I have set Nginx to server static files before apache. But when there is
a Drupal site or any custom made site that useres .htaccess mod_rewrites
to generate an image-file, logically the files are not found, because
the URL doesn’t exist.
My question is:
Is there a way to tell Nginx to try these files, and if no file found,
try to get it from apache?
If yes, would this give a substantial overhead compared to only using
apache and no Nginx frontend?
If no, then the only solution is to always modify my nginx site settings
so that the builtin rewrite would be handled (by Nginx)? This solution
of course is not too elegant, when you think of several-hundred sites
that are coming from an only-apache based hosting…
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Daniel
