You can see what we do in our Apache conf here: https://github.com/xibosignage/xibo-cms/blob/develop/docker/etc/apache2/conf.d/cms.conf

From the CMS side, setting Apache as the send file mode is all you need to do, it just sets the response headers for Apache to take over delivering that file.

Sendfile isn’t specific to Xibo, so it might be better to have a search for Apache and Sendfile generally?

@dan should this be added to the installation documentation for Apache/IIS. I do not see it mentioned in there and I struggled my way through this for the last couple of hours before seeing this post.

A standard installation (non-docker) comes with sendfile mode switched off, so that files are delivered via XMDS/PHP instead.

When you did your installation, did you have problems with sendfile mode switched off, or are you saying that when you switched it on you had trouble configuring Apache for it?
