When will ngx_http_secure_link_module add “timeout” directive,so the
uri will valid after the “timeout”?

so the uri will valid after the “timeout”¡¡is “so the uri will invalid
after the ‘timeout’”.
This will make the secure_link more secure.

This is one of my tasks at work so it will be soon.

For Igor:

Hi man, I have send you a mail a couple of days ago, could you please
check it… Also this can go to anyone. I am trying to build a free web
hosting server, based on nginx and php-fpm, and there are some issue or
workarounds that I would need for nginx… could anyone help?! I mean
like bandwidth limit, rewrite stuff and so on, or if someone could
explain me how Cpanel works with vhosts and so on, does it restart the
web server or what?

Please let me know, if any of you might have an idea… Thanks!

Compiling on Osx Tiger 10.4.11 with PowerPC G4 cpu and Xcode 2.5
works, however when I launch Nginx, I get the following error message:

[alert] 10428#0: sysctlbyname(kern.ostype) failed (2: No such file or
directory)

That this means that Nginx is no longer compatible with a platform
similar to mine? Is it a problem concerning my cpu or the operating
system (or both?)

Could you test the attached patch ?

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your responsiveness. I applied the patch, and now during
compilation I get the following error message:

    -o objs/src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.o \
    src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.c

src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.c: In function ‘ngx_os_specific_init’:
src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.c:75: error: ‘NGX_NOENT’ undeclared (first
use in this function)
src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.c:75: error: (Each undeclared identifier
is reported only once
src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.c:75: error: for each function it appears
in.)
make[1]: *** [objs/src/os/unix/ngx_darwin_init.o] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

2008/11/11 Igor S. [email protected]:

Compilation still works fine, but when I start nginx I get the
following error messages now:

[alert] 22644#0: sysctlbyname(kern.ostype) failed (2: No such file or
directory)
[alert] 22644#0: sysctlbyname(kern.osrelease) failed (2: No such file
or directory)

Sorry, the new patch.

Didn’t you read what I wrote, I dont wanna use Cpanel, I wanna develop a
panel based on nginx and php-fpm, I think it has more possibilities the
Cpanel, also much more faster then anything on the open source market or
commercial market.

I don’t need to ask Igor for every single detail, but I would love if he
or someone else could help up to actually define “or put” together a
proper open source panel for hosting… Wouldnt kill anyone if it would
be out there, also I think a lot of people would love it… So I don’t
get you “sarcastic” approach.

You should probably be better of to go to cPanel community
http://www.cpanel.net (as it is even a commercial software so also with
paid
support) rather than asking Igor for every last application which could
be
run on a webserver :slight_smile:

Crap! How didn’t I have the idea to check if Nginx was running? Yes
Nginx 0.7.20 is running on my Tiger! Thank you very much for taking
the time to support my platform.

But why are the error messages printed out?

But is nginx running despite the messages ?

It seems that Apple had introduced this sysctl’s in Leopard only.
In 0.7.21 these messages will be gone.
