hi list,
I am using nginx / apache combination to stream flv files.
Nginx serves static files and forwards dynamic requests to apache/mod_php.
Request flow would be as follows:
- client requests some file
- nginx rewrites the filename to a local cache dir
- if file is found in the cache dir, nginx sends the file
- if file is not found, then request is passed to apache, which will
create the file and send the contents.
For flv files we want flv streaming.
The rules I am using to make this work are as follows:
# Map request url to cache dir
location /dbfile {
rewrite "^/dbfile/([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})/(.*)$"
/cache/$1/$2/$1$2$3__$4 last;
}
# Forward PHP requests to apache, in case we don't have cache yet
location ~ ^/cache/ {
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
break;
}
}
# Handle FLV streaming
location ~ ^/cache/(.*)\.flv$ { flv; }
You have two locations that match. It appears that Nginx takes the
first one. I'd try something like:
location /cache {
location ~ \.flv$ { flv; }
error_page 404 = @apache;
}
location @apache {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
Untested and don't really have time to experiment for you, so YMMV.

Cliff
