calumbrodie's questions

We use Varnish (4) in front of an application which contains a few ESI blocks. What we are seeing (as expected) is that varnish streams the response from the server as soon as our backend responds to the initial request.

The issue with this is that the subrequests (ESI) can sometimes have pauses when loading (as they are not served out of the cache) and this causes noticeable 'loading jank' on the page.

We would prefer to have varnish wait until the whole response is ready before returning (I know this will increase the ttfb, but I think that the the perceived load speed is faster for our users).

• Is this a bad idea?
• Anyway to do this in varnish via configuration/vcl or do I need to run another instance of varnish in front of my instance of varnish (double varnish!).

I have the following nginx config:

server {
    listen 8080;

    root /site_root/web;
    index index.html;

    server_name www.mysite.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri @rewriteapp;
    }

    location @rewriteapp {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php/$1 last;
    }

    # add headers to static files
    location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png|svg|woff|ttf|eot)$ {
        expires 365d;
        add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public";
    }

    location ~ \.php {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param HTTPS $https;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm-www.sock;
    }
}

Issue This is a standard php application with front controller and some static assets (js/css etc) sitting as files on the filesystem (for arguments sake the location of these files is '/site_root/web/assets').

The intention of the above config is to add 'max-age' headers to these static files to allow browsers to cache them. This works for all files which exist on the filesystem. However I have some assets which are dynamically generated and need to pass through php ('/site_root/web/assets/dynamic/file.uk.js', '/site_root/web/assets/dynamic/file.us.js', '/site_root/web/assets/variable/variable.uk.js').

The issue is that the inclusion of the location directive 'add headers to static files' is causing those dynamic files to 404. How can I either (in order of how desirable each solution is):

• Change the location directive to exclude files which don't exist on the server (using try_files/internal?)

• Change the location directive to exclude paths which match (a whitelist e.g 'dynamic|variable')

I have a centos 6 VM running as a guest within Virtualbox. I've set up a LAMP stack which I am able to access from the host (Windows) environment.

I've mounted a SMB share using 'mount -t cifs' and I'm able to use apache to serve files from that share (all good so far)

problem I'm now trying to run a simple test.php script from the command line This is the output I get (below)

notice what happens if I don't spell the filename correctly (different message), so the file is there, it's as if php is unable to execute it.

I've included this as an image because I can't find any way to copy from my VM terminal. Any help appreciated, I've already spent much more time than I's imagined getting this up and running.

edit3: I AM able to run php from the command line when not trying to run a file from the samba share so it's got somthing to do with the mount. I mounted the drive thus...

mount -t cifs -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx,nounix,fir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,gid=48,uid=48 //path/to/samba/share /var/www/vhosts

Then execution is interrupted by the same error as before( PHP Fatal error: etc....)

I have a NAS box running in JBOD mode (two physical disks that act as one). Unfortunately I've had no end of problems with this configuration and wish to change it to two seperate disks. However all my files are spread between the two disks and I'd like to consolodate them onto one drive before proceeding.

I have a file structure like this (same on both drives) but there should be no file confilcts (files should only exist on one drive).

/mnt/disk1/home/
 |-- a
 |   |-- file1.txt
 |   |-- file2.txt
 |   |-- file3.txt
 |   |-- file4.txt
 |-- b
 |   |-- file5.txt
 |   |-- file6.txt
 |   `-- file7.txt
 `-- c
     |-- file8.txt
     |-- file9.txt
     `-- file10.txt

/mnt/disk2/home/
 |-- a
 |   |-- file11.txt
 |   |-- file12.txt
 |   |-- file13.txt
 |   `-- file14.txt
 |-- b
 |   |-- file15.txt
 |   |-- file16.txt
 |   `-- file17.txt
 `-- c
     |-- file18.txt
     |-- file19.txt
     `-- file20.txt

How can I merge the files from one disk onto the other (either copy OR move - it doesn't matter, the disk being copied FROM is going to be formatted afterwards anyway).

I've tried variations of rsync, mv, cp etc but not finding the correct arguments to use. I've seen this question (Merge 2 directory trees in Linux without copying?) but this specifies that the files SHOULDN'T be copied. I'm looking for the opposite (specify that files need to be copied).

-Thanks

O.K I am trying to do the following very simple command and it is failing as follows...

mv '/home/admin/Downloads/folder1' '/home/admin/MyLibrary/MyVideos/TV/folder1/'
mv: cannot move `/home/admin/Downloads/folder1' to a subdirectory of itself,     `/home/admin/MyLibrary/MyVideos/TV/folder1/'

The destination is NOT a subfolder of the source - why is it giving me this error?? Linux version is a custom version of Red Hat on a NAS box. Thanks

Output of fsck /home

fsck /home

fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /home

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I don't have anything in my logs folder that looks relevant - thanks for your input.

-bash-3.2$ cd ../Inbox
-bash: cd: ../Inbox: Permission denied

Filesystem is XFS. Are there permissions on the directories that ls -l wouldn't show? I'm the owner of all directories and files inside them. I can sudo to modify the file permissions or view the contents of the folders but I need them to be accessible by 'admin'.

Any ideas? I'll be checking the question regularly so let me know if I need to update this with more information.

Thanks

Edit : Added strace

2nd edit: Elaboration for Mike.

The Inbox sits at the following location

/home/admin/MyLibrary/MyVideos/Inbox
/home/admin/MyLibrary/MyVideos/Movies

The system is a Netgear Stora NAS box that I have root access to. The /home/ folder is mounted as an smb share on various computers around the house. The folder /Inbox cannot be opened on any of those machines (they all connect as 'admin'). When I ssh into the box using the 'admin' credentials I am also unable to access the folder. The folder was created via a Web Admin page hosted on the NAS. The user/group for the Inbox folder was previously apache:www (expected as this folder was created by the web application), but I chmod/chowned the folder as the root user in an attempt to grant the admin user (therefore the rest of the connected machines) access to the files. Sorry for not including this earlier, I wasn't sure if it was relevant and didn't want to confuse the situation.

-Thanks

3rd Edit Sorry again - It looks like this NAS is running some custom version of Red Hat, not Debian as previously stated - I'm not sure if this makes a difference
