php nginx X-Accel-Redirect标头

Question

i have an issue regarding protecting folder with static files using nginx so basically i have root folder on nginx setup to :

/home/rise/rises/wwwdir

and the secured folder is :

/home/rise/rises/videop

as we can see i moved that folder outside root folder to prevent/allow only specific to see under criteria

when i first made a search before posting i read some ideas that to access the videop folder outside the root , i need to create alias in nginx conf like this which i made and access internal

location /videop {
        root /home/rise/rises/;
         internal;
        }

however i have an issue on php side to load the video...

$aliasedFile = '/videop/5_.m3u8';
$filename = '5_.m3u8';
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type application/x-mpegURL ");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename.'');
header('X-Accel-Redirect: '. $aliasedFile);
readfile($aliasedFile);

i'm missing something ?

Answer 1

Your root directive has a trailing / which will be followed by the leading / of the URL, so use:

location /videop {
  root /home/rise/rises;
  internal;
}

Your PHP has a badly formed header, which should include a : after Content-Type .

The PHP should should not include a body. The readfile is wrong. The whole purpose of the PHP is to issue an internal redirect which is picked up by nginx . So the PHP should return header s only.
