I’m using proxy\_store for dynamic upload of file from the backend to a  
proxy server. For differents reasons some files are not uploaded with  
this method, and I want to run a process in the backend to syncronize  
the files between the servers.

Problem is that nginx doesn’t recognize the files uploaded throught  
this process. It says the file doesn’t exist and I need to restart  
nginx and then it works.

I understand nginx is looking at some kind of internal table to check  
if the file has been stored and not looking directly at the location  
of the file. Is there a way to avoid the restart? Did I get something  
wrong?

I’m using nginx 0.8.54

Looks like you use open\_file\_cache with open\_file\_cache\_errors on.  
Just tune settings as appropriate in your setup (or switch  
open\_file\_cache\_errors off to make sure nginx will immediately  
recognize new files).

Thanks. I put open\_file\_cache\_errors off , and everything is working  
fine.
