Using xsendfile

[Tom Rossi]

I've followed the instructions here for setting up moonshine_xsendfile:

https://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine_xsendfile

Now whenever I render a file I get a blank file?  The file is located in the public folder and I have tried using an absolute path as well as a relative path with no luck.

What else should I be looking for?

Thanks!

Tom

Hey Tom,

When I've seen this come up, it's usually because of a mis-match between what Rails is setting the x-sendfile as, and the file path that apache server is serving it up as. You would see errors in /var/log/apache2/errors.log though.

From memory, apache uses the full path, and resolves symlinks, so would be like: /srv/app/releases/yyyymmddhhmmss/public/path/to/something. That's why there's the entry like:

configure :xsendfile => {:x_send_file_path => rails_root}

That might depend on the path you are using for send_file though.

Let me know if that helps!
