1. Set the max size for file uploads to 50Mb client_max_body_size 50M;
  access_log logs/access.your_app.log main; error_log logs/error.your_app.log debug;
1. doc root root /Users/your_user/apps/your_app/public;
1. this rewrites all the requests to the maintenance.html
2. page if it exists in the doc root. This is for capistrano’s
3. disable web task if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) { rewrite ^(.)$ /system/maintenance.html last; break; } location / {

    If the file exists as a static file serve it directly without
    
    running all the other rewite tests on it if (-f $request_filename) { break; }
    1. and then break to send it to the next config rules. if (-f $request_filename/index.html) { rewrite (.) $1/index.html break; }
    1. this is the meat of the rails page caching config
    2. it adds .html to the end of the url and then checks
    3. the filesystem for that file. If it exists, then we
    4. rewite the url to have explicit .html on the end
    5. and then send it on its way to the next config rule.
    6. if there is no file on the fs then it sets all the
    7. necessary headers and proxies to our upstream mongrels if (-f $request_filename.html) { rewrite (.*) $1.html break; }
    if (!-f $request_filename) { proxy_pass http://your_app; break; }
