Question

I have a pretty wide-spreaded question …. I don’t understand how Upload Progress Module works , and it kind of doesn’t work for me too , so ….

1) I have installed nginx with all the upload modules (nginx, nginx-extras) , and php-fpm

2)This is part of my nginx config for the project:

    location ~ \.php$ {
  include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/cha0s/learnphp$fastcgi_script_name;
  fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

  track_uploads proxied 1m;
}

location ~ ^/files/(.*)$ {
        alias /home/cha0s/$1;
        internal;
}

location ^~ /progress {
        # report uploads tracked in the 'proxied' zone
        report_uploads proxied;
}

3)I followed the tutorial at the bottom of this page: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpUploadProgressModule :

So i have a form and upload progress bar:

<form id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="index.html" method="post">
  <input name="file" type="file"/>
  <input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
<div id="uploading">
  <div id="progress" class="bar">
    <div id="progressbar"> </div>
    <div id="percents"></div>
  </div>
</div>

JS code that triggers the jquery script:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $('form').uploadProgress({
        /* scripts locations for safari */
        jqueryPath: "/static/js/jquery.js",
        uploadProgressPath: "/static/js/jquery.uploadProgress.js",
        /* function called each time bar is updated */
        uploading: function(upload) {$('#percents').html(upload.percents+'%');},
        /* selector or element that will be updated */
        progressBar: "#progressbar",
        /* progress reports url */
        progressUrl: "/progress",
        /* how often will bar be updated */
        interval: 2000
      }
    });
  </script>

And that script :

Questions and Problems:

1)First problem is that i always get returned ({ “state” : “starting” }); …

2)Second question is : the reason i began trying to make this thing work , is because i wanted to write a php script , which would slice file into chunks and send them to the server , so i could upload huge files , and have a progress bar to monitor it. But i couldn’t even find the smallest example or tutorial how to get it done with php and upload_progress_module or w/e.

And no , i don’t want flash based uploaders.

So i guess , you already understood that i am a confused. So if you could explain how i can get this done, and help solve the problem with already existing configuration would be great

Answer 1

action="index.html" doesn’t look like the request that goes to location ~ \.php$.
