Resourcespace & Nginx

[cmca...@scisstudents.org]

I've gotten Resourcespace running under Ubuntu 12.04 using nginx, and I figured I'd share the configuration just to make it easier for others.  Nginx usually works better than Apache especially under heavy load.  I'm not claiming this to be an optimized configuration, but it's enough to get you started.  If you have criticisms, feel free to throw stones or corrections.

I've had to increase my fastcgi_read_timeout number quite a bit to get some RS processes to complete (cron_copy_hitcount and staticsync in particular). Have you noticed this as well?

I haven't had that issue, but our install is pretty fresh and we haven't ironed out all the small issues yet  I also normally use twice the value that nginx provides by default as I've had issues like that with Wordpress and Drupal.  

I'll keep that in mind however as I look for problems.

Sorry for the late reply Groups is blocked in China, and my VPN subscription had issues.
