About openresty licensing.

Hi,

I read on the website that openresty components licenses are owned by individual component owners. However does using openresty give you a license of being able to use all the components in a "commercial setup"

Thanks,

Yes, you can use openresty in a commercial setup as long as the
licenses of all the components that you actually use are followed.

I intentionally only include components with BSD-style licenses so it
should be trivial to follow in a commercial setup.

Other components like those GPL licensed ones are intentionally
excluded (or replaced by BSD-style licensed equivalents). If I've
missed anything, just drop me a line.

Hi, I'm trying to use resty-upload and keep getting permission denied. So I looked at the lsof output

and from what I saw it seems the luaVM executes under a different user than the one openresty is started under.

Is that correct? How can i configure which user the code in a content_by_lua_file file executes under?

thanks

p.s: i may have misunderstood everything about how this works. Feel free to explain as much as you want :)

OpenResty is just Nginx. You can just configure the "user" directive
in nginx.conf:
