Nginx caching issue (and feedback on server installation in implementers manual)

 

Hi,
was following the implementers manual to set up a server for the Gambia. All worked fine, except for nginx caching(?) - using the "template"  configuration in the manual, the formatting/layout of DHIS2 is removed. Commenting out the below block fixes the issue. Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong?

# Root points to your DHIS webapp location, update it!

  location ~ (\.js$|\.css$|\.gif$|\.woff$|\.ttf$|\.eot$|^/images/|^/icons/|^/dhis-web-commons/.*\.png$) {
    root     /home/dhis/tomcat/webapps/ROOT;
    expires  4d;
  }

Apart from that, the new server installations instructions are good, as opposed to last time I tried to follow them... Only thing I really miss was some more guidelines on configuration of memory, postgres etc related to the memory available on the server. Something along the line of, "if you have 8 GB total, allocate X for shared memory, set postgres variables to Y1, Y2, Y3, set JAVA_OPTS to Z1, Z2, Z3". I understand it might be difficult to give general recommendations, but some guidance on this would be good.

Regards
Olav
