if (!-f $request_filename){

                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5000;

            }

            #this is important if You want to use https !!!

            proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme;

            include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  

    }

 }  

Here's the proxy.conf. It's tuned so it'll not timeout on long

pushes and also on large pushes::

    proxy_redirect              off;

    proxy_set_header            Host $host;

    proxy_set_header            X-Host $http_host;

    proxy_set_header            X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

    proxy_set_header            X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    proxy_set_header            Proxy-host $proxy_host;

    client_max_body_size        400m;

    client_body_buffer_size     128k;

    proxy_buffering             off;

    proxy_connect_timeout       3600;

    proxy_send_timeout          3600;

    proxy_read_timeout          3600;

    proxy_busy_buffers_size     64k;

    proxy_temp_file_write_size  64k;

Also when using root path with nginx You might set the static files to false

in production.ini file::

  [app:main]

    use = egg:rhodecode

    full_stack = true

    static_files = false

    lang=en

    cache_dir = %(here)s/data

To not have the statics served by the application. And improve speed.

Apache virtual host example
