Can I renew items I have on loan?
As long as your items have not been recalled, you can renew them by going to the Library catalogue, clicking the 'My account' link, and logging in with your student number and password. You can also renew items by contacting us.
What is your recall policy?
All items on loan are subject to recall. If any of your loans are recalled, you will be notified by email to your University email account. You will normally have 7 days from the date of the recall to return the item(s). Please see our policies pages for details of fines for the late return of recalled items.
What is the Academic reserve collection?
We have an academic reserve collection of texts in heavy demand. Most academic reserve items can be borrowed for 24 hours and can be booked in advance. Please see our policies page for details of fines for late returns.
How do I check what I've got on loan?
Simply login to your account on the library catalogue to see details of all items on loan. Do this regularly to see if any items have been recalled, check "due back" dates, and see the progress of any holds you have placed.
What do I do if the item I want is on loan?
If the item is on loan, place a hold on the Library Catalogue.
What happens if my loans are overdue?
Please return all items you no longer require as soon as you can. If you have overdues, you may be unable to borrow further items until they are returned.
What happens if I damage or lose Library material?
Contact us as soon as you can. You may be billed for the full replacement cost. For recalled or academic reserve items, any fines that have been accrued while the items have been overdue will be added to the replacement cost.
Inter-Library Loans
The Inter-Library Loan (ILL) network allows us to borrow items for RGU staff and students from other libraries in the UK and abroad which are not available in our own collections.
If you have any questions please contact the ILL Team by telephone 01224 263450 or email us.
What can I request?
You can request a variety of materials on inter-library loan including:
- books
- single chapters from books
- reports
- journal parts
- journal articles
- conference papers
It is not possible to guarantee to obtain any item within a specified period. For example, articles from mainstream journals often arrive within a few days, while some books may take several weeks, or longer. Occasionally, for the harder to trace items, we are unable to obtain the item.
How do I register and make requests?
Our guide takes you through the process of registering and submitting requests:
Inter-library loans guide
Before you can use the service you first need to register - click here to register
Once you have registered with the service, you can make requests
PLEASE NOTE: Before submitting any request, it is important to click on the Check RGU Holdings button to be sure the item is not already in our stock. Requests for items held in our stock will not be processed. Undergraduate and postgraduate students should also check Aberdeen University Libraries and Aberdeen Public Library catalogues as we will not request articles from journals held by these libraries. Students should arrange to visit these libraries themselves.
Who is my inter-library loan authoriser?
As Schools and Departments are usually charged for each ILL supplied, all requests need to be authorised. When registering for the service, you need to nominate an ILL authoriser. Please select the appropriate person from this list:
Inter-library loans authorisers
Is there a charge for requests?
As indicated above, the Library charge of £4 per request is usually paid by your School or Department. However, you can pay the charge personally.
Can I renew?
If you need to hold on to your ILL for longer you can request a renewal in which case there is a personal charge of £4 per loan. Please be aware however, that a renewal request will not always be successful.
How will I collect or receive my inter-library loans?
Books for staff and students who are NOT distance learners need to be collected from your home site Library.
*New Pilot Scheme*: Distance Learners based in the UK can now get books requested on inter-library loans sent to them. The loans will be sent via Recorded Delivery and there is a charge of £5 per book. If you are a distance learner and wish to use this service, please contact our ILL team for more details. Unfortunately we cannot send books obtained on inter-library loan outside the UK.
Photocopies (of journal articles, conference papers, single chapters from books) for staff or research students are posted to your School/Department. Photocopies for all other students are posted directly to you.

What if the item I request to be scanned does not comply with the licence?
We will investigate if we can gain permission directly from the publisher for the item to be made available digitally.
What is the timescale for making items available?
If the item is covered by the License and is available it will normally take 2 days.
If the material is not covered, the timescale is dependent on the individual publisher. Some publishers will not grant permission for digitisation.
Can I undertake scanning myself?
Library staff are designated as authorised to make copies under the Copyright Licensing Agency License and as such will take responsibility for compliance of the digitised copies they deal with.

Detailed information on making digital copies is available in our Policy for Copyright on our Library Policies page or contact the Library Aspire Team (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Scottish Collections Policy (SCURL)
Library Charges and Fines
Late Return of Recalled Items
The University Library's policy is that all borrowed materials are subject to recall if they are required by another member. The current user is given a period of time - up to 7 days - to make use of the material before returning it. In order to encourage members to comply and to strengthen the current recalls policy, the Library charges fines for the late return of recalled library material. Please note that these fines apply to all members - students, staff and external borrowers alike.
Members are required to return, on time, Library material that has been recalled. Those who do not will be charged a fine of £1.00 per day for each day or part day overdue, up to a maximum of £15.00. Members who reach the maximum fine will also be sent a bill for the replacement cost of the item or items concerned. The average cost to the Library of purchasing a textbook is currently £30.00. Once billed, even if items are returned, members will have to pay the £15.00 fine.
Loans 8 Weeks Overdue
Members will be charged the replacement cost of the item or the average cost to the library of purchasing a textbook (currently £30.00). The library will establish the replacement cost of journal parts in consultation with journal suppliers.
Overdue Academic Reserve Items
Fine of £1.00 per hour for the first hour overdue. £0.50 per hour thereafter, every hour. Maximum of £15.00 per item
Inter-Library Loan Items
If your loan is not returned by the due date you will be fined £4.00 per item.
Debt Recovery Policy
The Robert Gordon University applies the following policy to students regarding overdue library materials.
If a student becomes aware of any difficulties regarding overdue library material, they must contact the Library on (01224) 263450 immediately to discuss the matter.
Failure to return library material will result in the following:
- A bill being issued for the replacement cost of the item.
- Accrued fines on the item being payable.
- Library and IT accounts being blocked.
If the bills remain outstanding students will not be allowed to enrol for the next year of their course or to graduate at the end of their course.
The University's sanction of withholding conferment of awards to students who are in debt to the University will apply. Although the results themselves will be released by the University in those circumstances, this is not a conferment of an award and any confirmation of these results to the student will bear clear notice "that this is not an official conferment of an award by The Robert Gordon University"
Blocks will not be removed until all charges are paid.
Notices regarding overdue materials will be emailed to the student's University email account. It is the student's responsibility to check his/her Outlook Account for messages.
Legal action will be taken to recover outstanding debt 90 days after a bill is issued.
This Policy covers material in the Academic Reserve Collection, recalled items and all other library materials. The timescale for billing for overdues, and the implementation of other sanctions, varies depending on the nature of the material and the urgency with which it is needed by other users. Further details of these timescales are listed below.

Researchers discover family of enzymes that degrade biomass into sugars potentially for biofuel production
8:14 AM MST | December 30, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Researchers from the department of chemistry at York University (York, UK), the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (Paris), and Aix-Marseille University (Marseille, France) say they have discovered a family of enzymes that can degrade hard-to-digest biomass into its constituent sugars. Difficult-to-digest sources include plant stems, wood chips, cardboard waste, and insect or crustacean shells. The researchers say that, by studying the biological origins and detailed chemistry of the enzyme family, they have shown that nature has a wide range of...

I just read that the fan who died was wearing a Dolphin's hat....not that it makes much difference who he was rooting for.....but if a fan is drunk why boot him outside?.....don't they have holding areas? Couldn't they have called a taxi for him?
Police were able to track a signal from the missing mans cell phone to establish a location.
lol.... they can find spy on us at any moment. Makes me want to get rid of my cell phone and get another cell phone under a fake name.

Alcohol not a factor
Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said on Friday that David Gerken Jr.'s death was an accidental drowning. Investigators also said they don't believe foul play was involved in the death and there was no evidence alcohol was involved.
I've seen how they tailgate in Orchard Park. They drink early, hard, and often.
I graduated with his cousin, story go he was not drunk, does not know why he got kicked out and he was found in the opposite direction of the bar he was going to wait for the rest of his group until after the game. area they found him in was fenced off to keep people out. very very fishy things going on. the police and family are still looking for answers on why he got kicked out and how he ended up 2 miles in the opposite direction.
This is very fishy to me too. My theory on this when he went to use the mens bathroom a scuffle probably took place. The security showed up and threw out three to four people. So this dolphin fan was grabbed outside for additional punishement. Probably took off towards the wrong way and fell down the revine. rip bud. bills fans are idiots.
No alcohol but a drowning in a small river? Seems unlikely to me.
I was at the game. In general, the crowd was rude, belligerent, drunk, and fired up. I saw a lot of broken glass, property being destroyed, etc. We also had some trash-talking fans behind us (my friend is a Green Bay fan and for some reason this guy was trashing him). I expected more from Buffalo- I've been to Sabres games and the crowd is great.

1 cup

1 cup
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips
Hi Sandy! Delicious choc chip cookies. Very soft, and very yummy! I'm only 15 and a first time 'from scratch' cook, so considering that it did take me awhile to make everything. Instead of shortening I used butter, which gave a great flavour. Note: To anyone that substitutes butter for shortening - leave it out for 1-2 hours! I made the mistake of leaving it out for 15 mins, and it took me ages to mix the sugar and butter. Lol. Overall though, the turnout was fantastic; everyone in the family loved it! Thanks for a great recipe.

This was really really yummy!! It was very soft, but still held it's shape. I hate when cookies flatten out while cooking. This cookie held up wonderfully, and my 4 children "LOVED" them. This is one I will make over and over. THANK YOU
These are ok. They are definitely soft cookies, but they are also very dry. I have tasted better. They did not spread out very well, and stayed small. If you like cookies with a texture more like cake, then you will probably like these.
Very easy to make. Finally, a really good, soft chocolate chip cookie.
These cookies turned out differently than I expected. I thought they would be more cake-like. However, my entire family loved them! I used butter-flavored shortening. I also rolled the dough into balls then very slightly flattened them before baking. The cookies looked beautiful! They browned nicely, but were still very soft. They looked like beautiful bakery cookies, but tasted much better! My six-year old daughter asked for this recipe to be added to the cookbook we are making for her. It is definitely a "keeper" recipe!
Yuck! I give credit for the fact that they are, indeed, chewy. They have no flavor, except that of shortening. I'll stick with my tried and true!
Because this recipe does not call for any white sugar, the cookies come out rather bland. It really isn't sweet at all, even with the vanilla and chocolate chips. The walnuts give it an extra crunch, but there isn't much to this cookie.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's Comprehensive Transplant Center is home to one of the largest kidney transplant programs in the country.
Why choose Ohio State?
We perform more than 200 kidney transplants a year, making us one of the top 10-percent busiest programs in the country. Since our first kidney transplant in 1967, we have performed more than 6,100 kidney transplant surgeries. In September 2011, we completed a six-way, single-institution transplant, the first and largest to date in Ohio, and one of only a handful in the United States.
Our Comprehensive Transplant Center has one of the largest organ transplant programs in the nation. We perform nearly 250 kidney, liver, pancreas, combined kidney/pancreas, heart, lung and bone marrow transplants each year. Since our program started in 1967, we have performed more than 8,000 lifesaving transplants.
We participate in clinical trials of new immunosuppressive drugs and antirejection therapies. Our current standard of care is using prednisone-free immunosuppressive medications, a regimen available to only about one quarter of all patients in the United States at this time.
- Autoimmune Disease: Your body's immune system protects you from disease and infection. But if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body.
- Congenital Abnormalities: A birth defect is a problem that happens while a baby is developing in the mother's body. Most birth defects happen during the first three months of pregnancy. One out of every 33 babies in the United States is born with a birth defect.
A birth defect may affect how the body looks, works or both. Some birth defects like cleft lip or neural tube defects are structural problems that can be easy to see. To find others, like heart defects, doctors use special tests. Birth defects can vary from mild to severe.
Patient Process
Patient Process
Referral Phase
Here are some of the steps in the pre-transplant referral process:
- The referring party is responsible for providing the coordinator with all applicable medical information according to the transplant referral protocol provided at time of referral.
- You will need to notify your insurance company before making your initial evaluation appointment. Our pre-transplant office and hospital business office will work with you to determine insurance availability and precertification requirements.
- Pre-transplant coordinators and business office staff then work together to meet insurance company requirements for evaluation and transplant procedure approval.
Clinic Evaluation Phase
The second is a day of all the pre-transplant initial testing, lab work and clinical testing, transplant doctor interview and social work consultation.
It is preferred that these tests be completed at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, but depending on your geographic location or payer preference, they may be completed closer to your home.
Every patient being evaluated for kidney transplant will also have a psychosocial assessment with a social worker. This evaluation will help determine if you have the psychological stability, motivation and personal support to meet the challenges of transplantation.
The transplant team evaluates the information gathered and determines whether transplantation is appropriate. We will also determine what additional information is needed prior to placing you on the transplant list.
A letter is also sent to your insurance company, with a copy of the pre-transplant patient chart, requesting precertification of the transplant procedure. We will send follow-up letters to the referring physician or dialysis center, summarizing the pre-transplant clinic visit and asking for any additional information required.
Candidacy Phase
Active Wait List Phase
Approximately 2,600 people in Ohio are waiting for a kidney transplant. Kidney donation can come via a deceased or a living donor; the wait time for patients who have a living donor are greatly reduced – from years to months – and transplant recipients have better outcomes when the donor is living. We encourage all patients waiting for a kidney transplant to seek a living donor. Living donors do not have to be blood relatives of yours and can be a spouse or a friend. Visit our Living Kidney Donation section for more information.
You may also receive a donated kidney from a deceased donor who has previously registered to become an organ donor or the family wishes to donate. Please be prepared to wait as long as three to five years for a kidney from a deceased donor. In addition, the donor must have a blood type compatible with yours. Each potential donor also must be screened very carefully for disease, infection or trauma to ensure that you receive a healthy kidney.
Transplant Phase
You will have multiple lab tests done to ensure you are ready for transplant. You will be given a number of medications, including antibiotics, antifungals and immunosuppression medications.
Ideally, surgery is performed as soon as the organ is available. However, using the latest perfusion techniques, we are able to transplant kidneys within 48 hours of recovery. The surgery will generally last at least four to six hours.
Following your admission, your referring physician and insurance company are notified of your transplant.
Post-Transplant Phase
You will be seen daily by the transplant surgeons, midlevel providers and discharge coordinators. You'll receive individualized education from floor nurses and attend education classes on medication and general discharge instructions. The discharge coordinators manage your care process, communicate with insurance case managers and plan for discharge. A social worker will visit you to address any psychosocial issues associated with the transplant.
Once you are discharged, you are followed on an outpatient basis with vital signs and laboratory profiles two times a week for the first three months post-transplant. Lab profiles are evaluated by a transplant coordinator and a transplant surgeon.
You will be seen again in the outpatient clinic at one-month post-transplant, three months post-transplant, six months post-transplant, one year post-transplant and at any other time in between if warranted. You will be seen annually thereafter, unless more frequent visits are required. After you are released by your surgeon, you will be seen by the Transplant Medicine Service. Lab frequency is reduced as you progress.
We will communicate with your referring physician at the beginning and end of each hospitalization, as well as with each outpatient clinic visit.
Because of the many interactions of other medications with immunosuppressives, please check with the post-transplant office prior to filling any prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which health insurance are accepted?
The list of accepted insurances for kidney transplant can often change. Please contact your healthcare insurance provider to confirm your coverage for transplant at Ohio State's Comprehensive Transplant Center.
What is tissue typing?
Ohio State's Tissue Typing Laboratory ensures that an organ is compatible with its recipient. The process involves matching a person's unique configuration of six human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules with a potential pool of approximately 100 different varieties.Cross-match testing helps prevent some types of organ rejection. The testing involves mixing cells from the donor's and recipient's serum to determine whether rejection-promoting antibodies will occur. This information helps your physicians plan for the right medication strategy to best control organ rejection.
Transplant support testing includes monitoring new drugs that patients use, testing to determine a patient's overall ability to maintain a recipient's organ and developing new tests to support many of the clinical aspects of transplantation.
Are there any support groups to join?
There are multiple meeting locations throughout Ohio. To learn more, visit the Buckeye GIFT website or contact the Community Events/Volunteer Coordinator at Lifeline of Ohio, 800-525-5667, ext. 375.

No thanks, he's too old!
No thanks, he's too old!
For years Ive heard the argument that all Marino needed was a running game and he wouldve won SBs. To me, this is absolute bull****. The last time I checked, a running game was part of the offense. When Dan Marino is your QB, you are good on offense. In fact, youre so good on offense, that trying to make a better running game wouldve been a total waste. All getting a good running game would do is take the ball out of the hands of the best player in the world. To me, that seems counter productive.
No. What Marino needed was a DEFENSE! Just check all the years that the phins had a good defense before the late 90's. Each of those years were the ones Marino was able to take them deep in the playoffs. Give him the #1 defense that Montana, Aikman, and Young enjoyed with those 2 SB teams and I promise you that Dan Marino wouldve delivered SB titles without a running game. When Marino is your QB, youre scoring plenty of points with or without a running game. What you need is to keep the other team from scoring so many points. While I understand that a rushing attack can limit how long your defense may be on the field, the fact is if they are any good, they are going to get off the field themselves by stopping the opposing offense. In turn, that will put the ball back in Marino's hands which will of course result in touchdowns and victories.
Having said all of that, Sanders was the one type of back who couldve been very useful to Marino. Just giving Sanders 15 carries a game wouldve been worth it. For one thing, he is going to hit the occasional homerun himself, therefore making it less of a problem not just letting Marino throw it. But, also any potential handoff to that guy is a SERIOUS threat to the opposing defense. Just the fact that they wouldve had to honor that so much more than handing it off to a regular type of running back, even a successful one, gives Marino that much more ability to harm them with his passes. Point being, handing it off to THAT GUY as opposed to another running back, even a good one, would not have been wasting opportunities for Marino. Sanders was the one guy who could equal the threat of Marino throwing when the ball is in his hands.
Any other RB though....... **** all that just, I wouldve just let Marino throw it 60 times and wished the opposing defense good luck.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
What color is the sky in your world? Does it make you feel better thinking Barry would have brought you a Super Bowl?
The color of the sky changes based on the weather dipchit. Happens here just like everywhere else. I imagine that it's always green in your world though based off the tint of your lenses. That "color of the sky" saying is for children. I expect no better from you though.
Here's something we have argued about. The fact that I post plenty around here but you only seem to notice when I'm putting you in your place. Just once try to have an opinion about something other than the color of Snatchez's undies and try to contribute in some manner other than purposely pissing off the fans of our team on our site. That's right dickhole, it's more my site than yours.
I'm sure you feel better thinking that Barry wouldn't have brought us a title. I know better though.

text: Hello there, Please help me figure out the problem. I have been using gimp to create designs that end up on all sorts of items like tshirts posters and buttons and so on. I have noticed an odd thing, and I don't know what the source of the error could be. If I have an image with lots of rich colors, patterns, and layers in Gimp, the color of the entire image seems to 'lighten' up progressively towards the bottom of the image. Even when the image is flattened into one layer, and turned upside. The bottom portion of the image will still be lighter than the top. This carries alway through to when image is printed onto a surface. A customer complained of big color variation between top of product and bottom of product. In this case it was an iphone case. Has anybody experienced this issue? I'm using Gimp 2.6 on Ubuntu Studio, 9.1 Karma Koala CISNET pentium 4 (onboard graphics card) LCD monitor is it Gimp, Ubuntu OS, the graphics cards, the monitor settings? Please help and thanks for your time.

This module allows Nginx to interact with FastCGI processes and control what parameters are passed to the process.
location / { fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/php/$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; }
Caching example:
http { fastcgi_cache_path /path/to/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=NAME:10m inactive=5m; fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri"; server { location / { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_cache NAME; fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 1h; fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1d; fastcgi_cache_valid any 1m; fastcgi_cache_min_uses 1; fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500; } } }
The cache honors backend's Cache-Control, Expires, and etc. since version 0.7.48, Cache-Control: private and no-store only since 0.7.66, though. Vary handling is not implemented.
syntax: fastcgi_bind address
default: none
context: http, server, location
version: ≥ 0.8.22
fastcgi_bind 192.168.1.1;
This directive binds each upstream socket to a local address before calling connect(). It may be useful if host has several interfaces/aliases and you want to pass outgoing connections from specific interface/address.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_buffer_size.txt
This directive sets the buffer size for reading the header of the backend FastCGI process.
By default, the buffer size is equal to the size of one buffer in fastcgi_buffers. This directive allows you to set it to an arbitrary value.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_buffers.txt
This directive sets the number and the size of the buffers into which the reply from the FastCGI process in the backend is read.
fastcgi_buffers should be set to the typical fastcgi response size. You should handle most of responses in memory while the biggest responses are buffered to disk.
If you want to disable buffering to disk for all replies that are greater than the FastCGI buffers and transfer data synchronously to the client set fastcgi_max_temp_file_size to 0.
The fastcgi_buffer is equivalent to:
fastcgi_buffer_size + the_number * is_size
If a fastcgi response is 12k then
fastcgi_buffers 64 4k will allocated 3 buffers of 4k. This is why fastcgi_buffers has two parameters, while fastcgi_buffer_size (used for response header and first part) has just one paramter. After fastcgi_buffer_size has been emptied, it used together with fastcgi_buffers.
fastcgi_buffers 256 4k; # Sets the buffer size to 4k + 256 * 4k = 1028k
This means that any reply by the FastCGI process in the backend greater than 1M goes to disk. Only replies below 1M are handled directly in memory.
By default, the size of each buffer is equal to the OS page size. Depending on the platform and architecture this value is one of 4k, 8k or 16k.
On Linux you can get the page size issuing:
getconf PAGESIZE
it returns the page size in bytes.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache.txt
The directive specifies the area which actually is the share memory's name for caching. The same area can be used in several places.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache_key.txt
The directive sets the key for caching, for example:
fastcgi_cache_key localhost:9000$request_uri;
Be advised that a
HEAD request can cause an empty response to be cached & later be distributed to
GET requests, avoid this by having $request_method in the cache key.
syntax: fastcgi_cache_methods [GET HEAD POST];
default: fastcgi_cache_methods GET HEAD;
context: main, http, location
This directive specifies which HTTP methods are allowed to be used when caching FastCGI requests. Note that GET and HEAD are syntactic sugars, i.e., a mere convenience in terms of this directive configuration logic. They cannot be disabled even if you set:
fastcgi_cache_methods POST; # note that GET and HEAD are still enabled
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache_min_uses.txt
Directive specifies after how many requests to the same URL in will be cached.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache_path.txt
The clean_time parameter was removed in 0.7.45.
This directive specifies path to the cache storage and other cache parameters. All data is stored in the files. The cache key and the name of cache file are calculated as MD5 sum of the proxied URL.
Level parameter sets number and width of the names of subdirectories used to store caching files. For example, with the directive like:
fastcgi_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=one:10m;
the data will be stored in the following file:
Caching data is first written to the temporary file which is then moved to the final location in a cache directory. Starting from 0.8.9 it is possible to store temporary and cache files on different file systems, but it should be kept in mind that in such a case instead of cheap and atomic rename syscall a full file copy is performed. So it's better to use the same file system in both parameters of fastcgi_temp_path and
fastcgi_cache_path directives.
In addition, all active keys and information about data are kept in the shared memory zone, which name and size are specified by the options of the
key_zone parameter. In case this data haven't been accessed for the time, specified in the option of
inactive parameter, it is wiped out from the memory. By default inactive period is set to 10 minutes.
To maintain the maximum size of the cache, which is set by
max_size parameter, a special process cache manager periodically deletes old data from the cache.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache_use_stale.txt
Determines whether or not Nginx will serve stale cached data in case of gateway event such as error, timeout etc.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_cache_valid.txt
Directive sets caching period for the specified http return codes. For example:
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m; fastcgi_cache_valid 404 1m;
sets caching period of 10 minutes for return codes 200 and 302 and 1 minute for the 404 code.
In case only caching period is specified:
the default behavior is to cache only replies with the codes 200, 301 and 302.
It's also possible to cache all the replies by specifying code "any":
fastcgi_cache_valid 200 302 10m; fastcgi_cache_valid 301 1h; fastcgi_cache_valid any 1m;
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_connect_timeout.txt
Directive sets timeout period for connection with FastCGI-server. It should be noted that this value can't exceed 75 seconds.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_hide_header.txt
By default, Nginx does not pass headers "Status" and "X-Accel-..." from the FastCGI process back to the client. This directive can be used to hide other headers as well.
If the headers "Status" and "X-Accel-..." must be provided, then it is necessary to use directive fastcgi_pass_header to force them to be returned to the client.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_ignore_client_abort.txt
This directive determines if current request to the FastCGI-server must be aborted in case the client aborts the request to the server.
In 1.0.2 POST requests are not handled correctly when fastcgi_ignore_client_abort is set to on which can lead to workers processes segfaulting. Switching fastcgi_ignore_client_abort back to default (off) should resolve this issue.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_ignore_headers.txt
This directive forbids processing of the named headers from the FastCGI-server reply. It is possible to specify headers like "X-Accel-Redirect", "X-Accel-Expires", "Expires" or "Cache-Control".
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_index.txt
The name of the file which will be appended to the URI and stored in the variable $fastcgi_script_name if URI concludes with a slash.
For example:
fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
for the request "/page.php" parameter SCRIPT_FILENAME will be set to "/home/www/scripts/php/page.php", but for the "/" — "/home/www/scripts/php/index.php".
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_intercept_errors.txt
This directive determines whether or not to transfer 4xx and 5xx errors back to the client or to allow Nginx to answer with directive error_page.
Note: You need to explicitly define the error_page handler for this for it to be useful. As Igor says, "nginx does not intercept an error if there is no custom handler for it it does not show its default pages. This allows to intercept some errors, while passing others as are."
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_max_temp_file_size.txt
To disable buffering to temporary files on disk for all replies that are greater than the fastcgi_buffers and transfer data synchronously to the client set fastcgi_max_temp_file_size to 0.
Otherwise if specified it must be equal or bigger than maximum of the value of fastcgi_buffer_size and one of the fastcgi_buffers.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_no_cache.txt
Specifies in what cases the cached responses will not be used, e.g.
fastcgi_no_cache $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache$arg_comment; fastcgi_no_cache $http_pragma $http_authorization;
The expression is false if it is equal to the empty string or "0". For instance, in the above example, the cache will be bypassed if the cookie "nocache" is set in the request.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_next_upstream.txt
This directive defines in which cases request will be passed to the next server:
- error — an error occurred during connection to the server, passing request to it or reading server respond header;
- timeout — a timeout occurred during connection to the server, passing request to it or reading server respond header;
- invalid_header — server returned empty or invalid answer;
- http_500 — server returned 500 respond;
- http_503 — server returned 503 respond;
- http_404 — server returned 404 respond;
- off — explicitly forbids passing request to the next server;
It should be clear that passing request to the next server is possible only if no data have been yet returned to the client. So, if the error or timeout occurred during the data transmission to the client it's too late to fix it.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_params.txt
Directive assigns the parameter, which will be transferred to the FastCGI-server.
It is possible to use strings, variables and their combination as values. Directives not set are inherited from the outer level. Directives set in current level clear any previously defined directives for the current level.
Below is an example of the minimally necessary parameters for PHP:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/www/scripts/php$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
Parameter SCRIPT_FILENAME is used by PHP for determining the name of script to execute, and QUERY_STRING contains the parameters of the request.
If dealing with POST requests, then the three additional parameters are necessary. Below is an example of the minimally necessary parameters for PHP:
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
If PHP was compiled with --enable-force-cgi-redirect, then it is necessary to transfer parameter REDIRECT_STATUS with the value of "200":
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_pass.txt
Directive assigns the port or socket on which the FastCGI-server is listening. Port can be indicated by itself or as an address and port, for example:
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
using a Unix domain socket:
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fastcgi.socket;
You may also use an upstream block.
upstream backend { server localhost:1234; } fastcgi_pass backend;
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_pass_header.txt
This directive explicitly allows to pass named headers to the client.
syntax: fastcgi_pass_request_body on | off
default: fastcgi_pass_request_body on
context: http, server, location
variables: no
Determines whether the request body is passed to the backend. Should generally be left on.
syntax: fastcgi_pass_request_headers on | off
default: fastcgi_pass_request_headers on
context: http, server, location
variables: no
Determines whether the request headers are passed to the backend as HTTP_* values. Should generally be left on.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_read_timeout.txt
Directive sets the amount of time for upstream to wait for a fastcgi process to send data. Change this directive if you have long running fastcgi processes that do not produce output until they have finished processing. If you are seeing an upstream timed out error in the error log, then increase this parameter to something more appropriate.
syntax: fastcgi_redirect_errors on|off
Directive is renamed into fastcgi_intercept_errors.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_send_timeout.txt
Directive specifies request timeout to the server. The timeout is calculated between two write operations, not for the whole request. If no data have been written during this period then serve closes the connection.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_split_path_info.txt
This directive allows the setting of the SCRIPT_FILENAME (SCRIPT_NAME) and PATH_INFO variables of the CGI specification. The regex consists of two groups:
- path to the script that will handle the request — corresponding to
- the value of the parameter to be given to the script — corresponding to the
Here's an example. The script
show.php receives as argument the string
article/0001. The following configuration will handle path splitting properly:
location ~ ^.+\.php { (...) fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+\.php)(/?.+)$; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/php$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info; (...) }
/show.php/article/0001 sets SCRIPT_FILENAME to
/path/to/php/show.php and PATH_INFO to
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_store.txt
This directive sets the path in which upstream files are stored. The parameter "on" preserves files in accordance with path specified in directives alias or root. The parameter "off" forbids storing. Furthermore, the name of the path can be clearly assigned with the aid of the line with the variables:
fastcgi_store /data/www$original_uri;
The time of modification for the file will be set to the date of "Last-Modified" header in the response. To be able to safe files in this directory it is necessary that the path is under the directory with temporary files, given by directive fastcgi_temp_path for the data location.
This directive can be used for creating the local copies for dynamic output of the backend which is not very often changed, for example:
location /images/ { root /data/www; error_page 404 = /fetch$uri; } location /fetch { internal; fastcgi_pass fastcgi://backend; fastcgi_store on; fastcgi_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r; fastcgi_temp_path /data/temp; alias /data/www; }
To be clear fastcgi_store is not a cache, it's rather mirror on demand.
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_store_access.txt
This directive assigns the permissions for the created files and directories, for example:
fastcgi_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
If any rights for groups or all are assigned, then it is not necessary to assign rights for user:
fastcgi_store_access group:rw all:r;
ERROR in secure-include.php: could not read the given src URL http://wiki.nginx.org/nginx.org/ngx_http_fastcgi_module/fastcgi_temp_path.txt
This directive sets the path where to store temporary files received from another server. It is possible to use up to 3 levels of subdirectories to create hashed storage. Level value specifies how many symbols will be used for hashing. For example, in the following configuration:
fastcgi_temp_path /spool/nginx/fastcgi_temp 1 2;
Temporary file name may look like:
Parameters, transferred to FastCGI-server.
The request headers are transferred to the FastCGI-server in the form of parameters. In the applications and the scripts run from the FastCGI-server, these parameters are usually accessible in the form of environment variables. For example, the header "User-agent" is transferred as parameter HTTP_USER_AGENT. Besides the headers of the HTTP request, it is possible to transfer arbitrary parameters with the aid of directive fastcgi_param.
This variable is equal to the URI request or, if if the URI concludes with a forward slash, then the URI request plus the name of the index file given by fastcgi_index. It is possible to use this variable in place of both SCRIPT_FILENAME and PATH_TRANSLATED, utilized, in particular, for determining the name of the script in PHP.
For example, for the request "/info/":
fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/www/scripts/php$fastcgi_script_name;
SCRIPT_FILENAME would equal "/home/www/scripts/php/info/index.php".

At FridgeFilters.com, we take pride in the fact that our filters keep the drinking water in your home tasting clean, fresh and cool. But like you, we occasionally like to get out of our homes, especially as we get into the tail end of summer – dangerously close to back to school season.
We suspect we are also similar in the sense that when you leave your home, whether for a quick hike, camp or cross-country road trip, you want to be able to enjoy the same great tasting drinking water you get at home. Fortunately, our online store specializes in more than just fridge filters. Below, find three products that we proudly offer, each of which will ensure you only drink great tasting drinking water while out and about:
1. Brita Filtered Water Bottles – the fact that we are drinking a record amount of bottled water in this country is great from a hydration stand-point, but not so great when that eco-unfriendly bottle needs to be disposed of. That said, if you're just off on a quick walk, hike or drive, a plastic bottle of water seems like an ideal companion. Until, of course, you meet the Brita filtered water bottles we offer.
These eco-friendly water bottles, pictured to the right, are free of BPA and offer you the same great tasting water you've come to expect from your fridge – whether you serve water from a dispenser or a pitcher. Even better, at less than $20 for a 2-pack, these bottles will pay for themselves almost immediately! Order Brita filtered water bottles from us online.
2. Katadyn Camping Filters – As great as a filtered water bottle is, sometimes a longer trip will require a filtration solution with just a bit more capacity. Fortunately, with our selection of products from Katadyn, we've got you covered for these lengthier excursions.
Katadyn is one of the most well-known providers of camping filters and filtration systems, and their products include the Vario microfilter to the left, featuring a filter life of 530 gallons. Katadyn camping filters are lightweight, easy to pack and effective at removing up to 99% of bacteria and viruses that can lurk in untreated water. A must-have for any serious outdoorsman or outdoorswoman! Order Katadyn camping filters from us online.
3. Culligan RV Water Filters – Whether you are a cross-country road tripper or a 'glamper,' there's absolutely no reason your recreational vehicle should leave your driveway unless it's ready to serve great tasting drinking water.
Before driving off, check out our selection of RV filters from Culligan. Our offerings include both exterior and inline filters, ensuring water is clean both when it fills your tank and pours from your faucet. Order Culligan RV filters from us online.
Just in case you're leaving for that late summer trip in the next week, these and all products available at our online store ship same day, if ordered by 4pm CST.
If you have more ways to ensure you always have great tasting drinking water on the road, I invite you to share your story via a comment below. I also invite you to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or +1 us on Google+ to stay up to date on our latest water filter sales and discounts.
