Hi,

My problem was due to an old configuration in my galaxy.ini file.

I had the following setting in my .ini but the correct setting earlier in the .ini file.

nginx_x_accel_redirect_base = true

I also had:

location /_x_accel_redirect/ {

internal;

root /;

        }

Instead of:

location /_x_accel_redirect/ {

internal;

alias /;

        }

In my nginx.conf file.

The alias directive needs to be there or the value in nginx_x_accel_redirect_base gets placed in front of the download directory.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

Thanks,

-Sheldon

Hi,

I have galaxy 16.10.  Whenever I try to download a file now nothing happens.  I have followed the configuration guide for nginx to allow it to handle file downloads.  However the nginx logs show that the file path has /etc/nginx/htmlTrue in front of the correct path.  Obviously I have a misconfiguration somewhere but I am not sure what the problem is.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

-Sheldon
