Using ImageCache with nginx
I couldn't get the ImageCache module for Drupal to work for the longest time because I didn't realize that the module came with a .htaccess file that pushes the image load back through Drupal to calculate the caching properly. Knowing this I was able to find this magical chunk for your nginx.conf (or your virtual host config). Slip this code in near the static serve file command

# imagecache needs to have php read any files that it's planning to manipulate
location ^~ /sites/default/files/imagecache/ {
index index.php index.html;
# assume a clean URL is requested, and rewrite to index.php
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}
}
# serve static files directly
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
access_log off;
expires 30d;

As of this writing the Textile module is not available for Drupal 6. The latest current downloadable version is for Drupal 5.x.
Rather than downloading a full tar or gz file, there is a patch available. Drupal 6 Patch. Here’s how to do it. Works for Linux and Mac
- Download Textile for Drupal 5 in the official releases area
- Extract the file. It should be
textile - Go to Textile for Drupal 6 patch page
- download the attachments into your
textiledir (3 files)
- Patch the files (cd into your textile dir)
patch textile.info < textile.info_.6.patch
patch textile.install < textile.install.6.patch
patch textile.module < textile.module.6.patch
