I am trying to serve static contents via nginx & rails using X-Accel-Redirect
. My actual static content directort located at rails root folder like this rails_root\books
. This is my nginx config file mapping the url with the actual file location
server {
listen 3000;
server_name 127.0.0.1;
passenger_enabled on;
root /home/voodoo/work/reader/public;
location ~ /read/*./.* {
internal;
alias /home/voodoo/work/reader/books/sources/$1/$2;
}
location / {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
passenger_pass_header X-Accel-Redirect;
passenger_set_cgi_param HTTP_X_ACCEL_MAPPING /read/=/home/voodoo/work/reader/books/sources/;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001/;
}
}
And a respective rails controller
class ReaderController < ApplicationController
def resource
send_file "#{Rails.root}/books/sources/"+ params[:id] + "/" + params[:resource] + "." + params[:format]
end
end
The controller is successfully triggered with the X-Accel-redirect
by nginx, and conroller returns the data. This is the log
Started GET "/reader/229/OPS/cover.xml" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-01-13 00:17:10 +0530
Processing by ReaderController#resource as XML

But the next log is totally different, and the request stops right there

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/home/voodoo/work/reader/books/sources/229/OPS/cover.xml"):

actionpack (3.2.2) lib/action_dispatch/middleware/request_id.rb:22:in `call'
It throws an error RoutingError (No route matches [GET] (actual file path). After some digging i found that, this error can happen because of config.serve_static_assets = false
in production.rb. But its actually true in my config.
I have tested changing passenger in standalone mode, and with nginx. I always gets the same error. I am totally struck here. Can someone help me out?
