Issue X-Sendfile and X-Accel missing

pleskuser123

New Pleskian
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 info can be found about this, and most are related to cpanel setups.
 
It should be possible to install the modules X-Sendfile (Apache) and X-Accel (NGinx). But notice that these modules are not installed by default in Plesk:

# httpd -M | grep sendfile
(Empty output)
# nginx -V 2>&1 | grep accel
(Empty output)

You might try to install these third-party modules, but mind that this task is at your own risk.
