Here’s a good rule set for forcing use of a preferred url:

This version of the canonical rewrite expands on the original found here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#canonicalhost by adding: redirects domains with suffixes (not just prefixes) back to the canonical host; and allows Host request headers to contain port specifiers (which is allowed by RFC2616 section 14.24) as suggested here: http://colby.id.au/node/99 and by using a 301 redirect as recommended by Google here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=44231&hl=en

Problem was that uploaded files were being assigned permissions of 0600 which is “-rw——-“. The webserver was then unable to service the files. The “0600” permissions corresponds to a umask of “066”. Instead I wanted “022” which would yield “-rw-rw-r–” or “0664”. On Ubuntu, edit /etc/apache2/envvars and add this line to the end of the file:

On Red Hat/CentOS do this:

Now restart Apache and the new umask will be in effect.

In the nginx config add: proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; In the apache config add: SetEnvIf X-Real-IP 72.3.230.* is_admin=true Allow from env=is_admin
