NAME

    RT::Extension::Nginx - optimized request tracker within minutes

SYNOPSIS

        perl Makefile.PL

        make

        make install

        cd /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Extension-Nginx/

        ./sbin/rt-generate-nginx-conf

        ./sbin/rt-nginx-control start

DESCRIPTION

    This is beta software. Lacks some documentation.

    Extension comes with two scripts:

    rt-generate-nginx-conf

        Generates optimized nginx config from RT configuration and

        templates. Creates required directories and files.

    rt-nginx-control

        Simple script that can start, stop and restart nginx and fcgi

        processes. Run without arguments to see help.

FEATURES

  Fast web server in front

    Nginx is very fast web server with low memory footprint.

  Reverse proxy like setup

    Two servers schema with web server in front and FastCGI (FCGI) server

    running RT as backend. Nginx buffers replies from FCGI, so heavy FCGI

    processes get free and ready to serve next request before user gets the

    current request.

  Forking FCGI

    FCGI processes are forked so share some memory between processes

    lowering memory footprint.

  Serving images without FCGI

    Nginx serves /NoAuth/images/ location from files without touching FCGI

    and does it properly accounting local directory and plugins'

    directories.

  Semi-static serving of css and js

    Files served from /NoAuth/css/ and /NoAuth/js/ locations are stored on

    first request for re-use.

  Content gziping

    Html, css and js gzipped. For example size of the primary css file drops

    from 78k down to 19kb.

  TODO

    A few things can be improved within RT and this extension, but it's a

    good start.
