Resolved How to install x-sendfile and x-accel
- Thread starter ChrisCP

Issue - X-Sendfile and X-Accel missing
I have this script that needs some modules installed. can anyone help with this please "Both X-Sendfile and X-Accel need to be enabled on the server first. When enabled it will reduce server memory and CPU usage when previewing or downloading files, especially for large files." Very little...
Hi Chris, How did you solve this? I have the same problem, I have a customer who wants to enable digital downloadable products in Woocommerce, and I need X-Senfile and X-Accel.
Thank you
You can enable X-Sendfile by installing via repo and activate it in settings -> Apache webserver.
Enable X-Accel for Nginx, add following code to your additional Nginx config:
location /YOUR_FILE_OR_FOLDER {
internal;
alias /var/www/vhosts/SUBSCRIBTION/DOMAIN/PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE_OR_FOLDER;
}

New Pleskian
I encountered the same issue as OP: Need those modules setup for WooCommerce. Strangely, no one with knowledge of the process has shared any detailed steps, particularly in Plesk. I'll update what I find here.
Installing Apache x-sendfile: I went to the SSH terminal in Plesk (for beginners, just search SSH in the Plesk search) and pasted the following command:
Source: Install Apache XSendFIle
While there are more steps in the github link, I only needed the first install command. Afterward, I checked my Apache settings in Plesk and it was already enabled.
Now I'm off to figure out how to add the Nginx config. I'm not sure if I need to find the actual file or paste something into the "additional nginx directives box". I wish a professional would offer some experienced insight in the meantime to solve this ago old hurdle in a concise way. So many people have given up ambitions after encountering problems like this and it's sad.
