I I've been trying to get NGINX up and running on my OSX 10.7 Lion computer. I have it running however simple html pages every few are taking a long time to load; for example:
<html>
<body>
test
</body>
</html>
Same thing happens with php:
<?php
echo('hi');
?>
If i hit refresh, it seems as it's almost rebuilding the entire page before it renders and creating some kind of object. Just painfully slow..
This seems to be most frequent if I do some coding then go back to refresh a page. (10-20+ seconds then going back and refreshing a page takes a good 4-6 seconds).. It almost appears that once idle it takes a while to re-wake back up.
i'm pulling my hair out trying to understand what is going on, hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me.
System Configuration:
-
OS: OSX 10.7.2
-
Processor: 2 x 2.66 GHZ Dual-Core Intel Xeon
-
Memory: 8gb 667 MHz
Nginx Version: 1.0.11
PHP Version: 5.3.9
I have installed this from a clean format of OSX (Which I thought was initially my error, sadly it wasn't).
Update
After updating my error_log file to contain debug per Fox's suggestion in comments I'm now seeing the following message appear in my error_log:
2012/01/23 11:57:02 [info] 88015#0: *26 client closed prematurely connection
while reading client request line, client: 127.0.0.1, server: sandbox.local
Update Two
Upon inspecting with chrome I did find that it seems DNS resolving is taking a bit?
Update Three – SOLVED
After Update Two fixed /etc/hosts file to use:
127.0.0.1 sandbox.local
AND
::1 sandbox.local
Thanks to @thinice I was able to go through strace and notice that all requests targeting localhost directly from telnet were always instant; which then prompted DNS checking and finally led to finding this!
I'm not sure if this is a nginx bug; as when I previously had appache installed this was working just fine.

Attempted Simple solution with the following nginx config, same slow result as above:
user petrogad staff;
worker_processes 2;
pid /usr/local/ngnix/var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type text/plain;
server_tokens off;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush off;
keepalive_timeout 0;
index index.html;
server
{
listen 80;
server_name sandbox.local;
root /www/sandbox;
access_log /Users/petrogad/logs/ngnix-sites/sandbox_log.txt;
error_log /Users/petrogad/logs/ngnix-sites/sandbox_log.txt;
location /
{
autoindex on;
}
}
}

Start by stripping out all unnecessary configuration options.
Get the setup to a bare-bones 'Im only serving HTML files' default configuration. Remove optimizations.
Slowly start adding aspects back in a few at a time, restart your stack and test.
If you're feeling ambitious, you can run
straceon a single server process to get timings. Have a look at this for a crash course.
