If you enable filesystem + file storage for large files using the :param:`maxlocalattachment` + parameter then you can have those files served directly by the webserver, + which avoids copying them entirely into memory, and this may result in a + performance improvement. To do this, configure your webserver appropriately + and then set the correct header, as follows: + + * Apache: ``X-Sendfile`` header; see `webserver documentation + <https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/>`_ for configuration instructions + * nginx: ``X-Accel-Redirect`` header; see `webserver documentation + <http://wiki.nginx.org/X-accel>`_ for configuration instructions + * lighttpd: ``X-LIGHTTPD-send-file`` header; see `webserver documentation + <http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/X-LIGHTTPD-send-file>`_ for + configuration instructions + + Please note that attachments stored in the database cannot be offloaded in + this way. + maxattachmentsize The maximum size (in kilobytes) of attachments to be stored in the database. If a file larger than this size is attached to a bug, Bugzilla will look at the :param:`maxlocalattachment` parameter to determine if the file can be stored locally on the web server. If the file size exceeds both limits, then the attachment is rejected. Setting both parameters to 0 will prevent attaching files to bugs. |
