Missing media no longer triggers Magento 404

Our Nginx configuration contained a flaw that caused all missing media files (images, css, js) to be routed to Magento. Magento then renders a nice 404, but nobody is interested in that page. So we’ve changed the configuration to be more like the standard Magento config for Apache which excluded the entire media/ from being routed to PHPFPM.

So our Hypernode is now more efficient!

Better warnings when you misconfigure Nginx

So we decided to warn you in the shell, let us know how you like it:

Nginx warnings are now displayed in the shell in red.
