Hello everyone, I’m running OpenUpload 0.4.1 (a RapidShare-like web-app) on nginx-0.6.32 with php-5.2.6 and php-apc-3.0.19 (all but openupload are from debian stable repositories). Everything is working fine, except that OpenUpload is supposed to display progress information during upload of a file using APC. It does not on my config ☹ According to Alessandro Briosi, OpenUpload developer, the problem might come from nginx not passing some information to php. My full thread with him is here : [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2854594&group\_id=242018&atid=1117805](https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2854594&group_id=242018&atid=1117805) Could anyone here confirm that it could be the source of the problem ? And do you have any way to fix this ? Thanks in advance ---

It does so through FastCGI, have you checked your parameters? HTH, Nuno Magalhães ---

Traditional backend-based uploaders do not work with nginx as nginx only passes request to backend once it got full request. You should use nginx modules for this instead. At least one is listed on wiki. Maxim D. ---

This is almost certainly the case. When nginx uploads a file it uploads the entire file before passing it to PHP. Consequently the script has no way to know how much of the file has been uploaded until the upload is complete. > My full thread with him is here : > [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2](https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2) > 854594&group\_id=242018&atid=1117805 > > Could anyone here confirm that it could be the > source of the problem ? See above > And do you have any way to fix this ? You can recode the app to use some third party nginx modules, but short of that probably not. More practical would be to show a different GIF than what you are showing now - one which includes a message to the user that their file is being uploaded and to wait until it is completed. > Thanks in advance > > – > Michael Baudino > KameHouse Prod.
