Correct paths for header('X-Accel-Redirect:?

Question

Nginx

Hello, the question is why when I send the header
header("X-Accel-Redirect: $filename");
The $filename variable is equal to "/usr/home/www/site.ru/uload/file/id/name.rar"
That is, the path is correct and everything is in order, but we get an error on the pages, go to nginx.log and see this path

/usr/home/www/site.ru/usr/home/www/site.ru/uload/file/id/name.rar

After all, this is not what I am transmitting, I double-checked everything 100500 times, I suppose there is a problem with nginx.conf
in it, if you rely on articles, there should be a section

location /download {
      internal;
}

I didn’t register it, because I have each file in a separate folder by ID, I couldn’t understand how to create such a location.
Does anyone have experience can tell me where to drip?

Answer 1

You must pass a URI to the X-Accel-Redirect header
Example:
Nginx has a location:

location /download {
      internal;
}

This means that in X-Accel-Redirect it is necessary to pass the url that this particular location will process:
In general, in order to implement such things, you must first understand how nginx works, at least understand how nginx processes requests and how its config affects it.
In your case, it is obvious that you are passing the url that nginx concatenates with some root on the server in the location of which it got.

Answer 2

In general, the issue was resolved, I didn’t do the location at all, I registered the file name in PHP, the root was taken from ROOT in nginx
header("X-Accel-Redirect: $filepath);
As a result, the correct path turned out, for a number of reasons and unwillingness to change something in the site engine managed in this way.Thanks to
