Hello All,
This is my first post on the forum, so thank you very much in advance
for
your attention on my topic. Hope anyone could help me 
The problem we are getting with NginX and Magento, is relating to the
download process of files such as PDF, which are in this case invoices.
Magento seems to work flawlessly under NginX, except when we try to view
from the server any PDF file through the Magento backend, or when we try
to
save the same file on our local disk.
The tricky point is that we don’t get any problem when we try to
download a
previously uploaded PDF file to the server using the “scp” command, and
accessing to this file using the direct URL.
The problem appears when we try to download the PDF file from the
Magento’s
backend; NginX contact our browser but does not start the
transfer/download
after you perform a restart of the NginX’s service.
I have recorded a little video of 3:27 minutes from my desktop, where
you
will see by yourself what is the issue we have with NginX. Here is the
URL:
http://www.misspepa.com/capturedmovie.ogv . Please, note that there’s no
audio for the video.
We are really convinced that the problem is at the NginX side and not on
Magento side, because as you will see on the video, when we restart the
NginX service the transfer which still says “Starting” (when it is
really
frozen) is rapidly accomplished with success.
If I do not restart the NginX service, the download transfer process of
such
files will become stalled for a indefinitely period of time with no
success…
… And last but not last, the logs of NginX didn’t report any error.
So,
for that reason I decided to post my issue to the forum, in order to get
some help on this subject.
Thank you very much in advance!!
MOLI
