</div>

My setup:

- Debian Lenny
- nginx-0.8.36 installed from source
- nginx\_upload\_module-2.0.12 compiled in.
- masterzen-nginx-upload-progress-module-v0.8.1-0 compiled in.
- spawn-fcgi-1.6.2 installed from source, running on port 9000

Problem:  
Uploading works, but the progress keeps showing “Starting” while the  
file is uploaded. Only after it’s done, the result is “Done”. No upload  
progress is shown meanwhile.

Logs:

> From the nginx debug log, while the upload goes on:

```auto
2010/05/21 10:24:52 [debug] 17402#0: *465 reportuploads handler found 
id: 2094466ead99626ce9988aeef04cb816

2010/05/21 10:24:52 [debug] 17402#0: *465 http script copy: "new 
Object({ 'state' : 'starting' })
```

And then, when the upload is done:

```auto
2010/05/21 08:51:36 [debug] 17321#0: *9 upload-progress: find_node 
2094466ead99626ce9988aeef04cb816

2010/05/21 08:51:36 [debug] 17321#0: *9 http script copy: "new Object({ 
'state' : 'done' })
```

But no upload progress!

My server config:

```auto
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name myserver;
  root /home/wwwadmin/www/;
  access_log /home/wwwadmin/log/access.log;
  error_log /home/wwwadmin/log/error.log debug_http debug_event;

  location / {
    # If the file exists as a static file serve it directly without
    # running all the other rewite tests on it
    if (-f $request_filename) {
      expires max;
      break;
    }

    if ($request_filename !~ "\.(js|htc|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$") {
        rewrite ^(.*) /index.php last;
    }

    # upload_progress config
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
    proxy_redirect default;
    track_uploads proxied 60s;
  }

  location ^~ /progress {
    report_uploads proxied;
  }

  location ~ \.php($|/) {
    set $script $uri;
    set $path_info "";

    if ($uri ~ "^(.+\.php)(/.+)") {
      set $script $1;
      set $path_info $2;
    }

    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/wwwadmin/www$script;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
  }

  #deny access to .htaccess files
  location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
  }
}

```

And the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

```auto
user wwwadmin;
worker_processes 1;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    upload_progress proxied 1M;
    client_max_body_size 1024M;
    client_body_buffer_size 1024M;

    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    sendfile on;
    #tcp_nopush on;

    #keepalive_timeout 0;
    keepalive_timeout 3;
    tcp_nodelay on;

    gzip on;
    gzip_comp_level 2;
    gzip_proxied any;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

```

I suspect that I am missing something big and obvious in the  
configuration, since I cannot find any clues online about this.

Hopefully someone recognizes this (probably noob) problem and can help  
out!

Thanks in advance

Apart from the fact I never tested the upload progress module with nginx  
0.8.36, I don’t see anything suspect here.

It looks like the upload hasn’t been registered.  
Can you find upload progress debug output that is logged when the upload  
starts?

You can also sends me privately the full log for analysis.

Are you sure the upload doesn’t use this location and not ‘/’ one?  
Because this one has no track\_uploads.

Brice,

Thanks for helping me out. The problem was indeed what you spotted: the  
upload was registered at the .php($|/) location, instead of at “/” .

I updated the config, and it works fine now.

Thanks again!
