Hi Guys, Got a strange issue happening, I do my coding on Windows 8 x64 using Sublime Text 2.0.2, my sites run of a Ubuntu 13.04 VirtualBox guest over a bridged adaptor connection. Weird thing happens, if I save a static file (HTML, CSS etc) from Sublime on Windows to my Ubuntu vm and load it I get a 500 internal error (generic nginx one), hit refresh and all is well. However, If I do the same from Notepad++ I get no issues at all, the file will load first time on nginx. Both are set for EOL unix and UTF-8 and even changing this on both seems to bring the same issue? The nginx error log is vague, just saying its temporarily unavailable. I’ve posted this on the sublime forum too, as it seems to be sumin that is doing with the file upon saving? Even saving a .html in plain old notepad is fine. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? How I can solve it? Or even find out more info on why nginx does like the file first time round? Also worth mentioning that no such issue occurs with Apache, that serves all files? Any help appreciated!

To clarify above, when I say I change the EOL and encoding on both sublime and notepad++ nothing changes. If notepad++ is windows EOL and ANSI it is still fine loading first time, no matter what I set sublime too it’s always failing first load Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Nginx internal server errors static files first load only?](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,241387,241388#msg-241388)** > > Hi Guys, Got a strange issue happening, I do my coding on Windows 8 x64 using Sublime Text 2.0.2, my sites run of a Ubuntu 13.04 VirtualBox guest over a bridged adaptor connection.

This can be ignored now, I’ve found the issue. It was samba locking the file, adding “oplocks = no” to my smb.conf solved the problem.
