gridfs-nginx-plugin

gridfs-nginx plugin that works for real!!

I provide this from our company's development department
after compiling and bug fixing in all of the components in this project.

Nginx 1.6.1 and Nginx-Gridfs Installation

1. Create a folder that you are going to save all the files by:
   mkdir nginx-gridfs
2. Enter to nginx-gridfs folder.
3. Download nginx-1.6.1 from this url:
   wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.6.1.tar.gz
4. Clone this repo by: git clone
5. (optional - the right driver is in the repo) Enter to gridfs-nginx-plugin and clone the mongodb C driver repo by:
   git clone https://github.com/eagleas/mongo-c-driver.git
6. Step out from gridfs-nginx-plugin by:
   cd ..
7. Enter to nginx-1.6.1 folder by:
   cd nginx-1.6.1
8. Run ./configure with the full path to the gridfs-nginx-plugin folder by (make sure that ./configure is runnable - chmod +x ./configure):
   ./configure --add-module=</path/to/gridfs-nginx-plugin folder>

FOR MAC:
in the gridfs-nginx-plugin folder change in config file CFLAGS to
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-unused-function -Wno-missing-field-initializers --std=c99 -Isrc"
./configure --add-module=</path/to/gridfs-nginx-plugin folder> --with-cc-opt="-Wno-deprecated-declarations"

 * sometimes mac show: comparison of integers of different signs: 'size_t'
  (aka 'unsigned long') and 'int' [-Werror,-Wsign-compare] fix these issues.

9. Run make by: make
10. Run make install by: make install
11. Now your Nginx + Nginx-Gridfs is installed under:
    /usr/local/nginx - the folder of all nginx folders /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx - the nginx executable

Make Nginx as Linux service

1. Add the service in /etc/init.d by:
   sudo wget https://raw.github.com/JasonGiedymin/nginx-init-ubuntu/master/nginx -O /etc/init.d/nginx
2. Make sure nginx is execute file by:
   chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx
3. Now you can use:
   service nginx start
service nginx stop
service nginx restart

Configure Nginx to work with MongoDB Girdfs

1. Open nginx.conf by:
   nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

2. Add the following lines:

   server {
listen 80;
server_name <your url>;
location /<choose url>/ {
gridfs <db-name>
root_collection=<the collection of the files>
field=_id
type=objectid
user=<db username>
pass=<db password>;
mongo 127.0.0.1:27017;
}
}

3. Restart nginx by:
   service nginx restart
