Question

Hey Guys,
u
I am using mogilefs to store files on a storage cluster. And i want to offer a download link to users. Only when i run getPaths on mogileFS it returns something like:

http://10.0.0.23:7500/dev11/0/422/711/0494715033.fid

i can rename the .fid to the actual file extension, but how do i offer the original file for download to the user? Can i force the file somehow with php? (Without using readfile or anything, the files are there for bandwidth reasons).

thnx guys

Answer 1

Here you are http://www.grid.net.ru/nginx/mogilefs.ru.html

How it works:

all requests with /storage/mogileKey are served from mogile storage with nginx webserver

all other request you can easily proxy to your apache listening :not80port (:88 for example)

while stoaring file to mogilefs give it a key with required extension: myimage.jpg …

When your request will look like normal: /storage/myimaje.jpg and will served from /devN/path/to/mogile/file.fid
