HI,

I have following nginx configuration for a MediaWiki based site

server { listen 174.36.130.243:80; server_name webhostingneeds.com www.webhostingneeds.com;

location ~* \.(js|css|rdf|xml|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|jpeg|html)$ { root /home/webhost/public_html/; access_log /var/log/nginx/webhostingneeds.com_static.log; }

location / { proxy_pass http://174.36.130.243:81/; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; client_max_body_size 1m; client_body_buffer_size 128k; proxy_connect_timeout 90; proxy_send_timeout 90; proxy_read_timeout 90; proxy_buffer_size 4k; proxy_buffers 4 32k; proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k; proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k; } }

The problem is when a file is uploaded to MediaWIki, i shows a page like

http://webhostingneeds.com/File:FILENAME.exten

For example

http://webhostingneeds.com/File:Averttv_device_property.jpg

Since the file extension is .jpg, nginx try to service this as static content.

How i can set nginx to serve static files, pass anything starting with /File: to apache ?

Thanks,

Santhosh
