Can you replace the apache with nginx

Can you replace the apache with nginx? If it is possible，How to？

You can use Apache+NGINX as front end/back end.

Quote from gOOvER

When you add it yourself, maybe you can provide a Patch

This patch was created for ISP-Control Omega in Russian Corner by developer Koffu. This patch is a script that can generate nginx.conf and vhost.conf. I tested on Omega, Easyscp and IMSCP.But in the IMSP configuration is different from the other panels listed above.
Documentation you can find this (only Russian lang). If you need help, you can turn to DragonZX.
I hope that your team will help Omega & Easyscp in development.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

OK. This is my translation of tutorial. Sorry for my bad English.
1. Install mod_rpaf:

edit rpaf-2.0.load:

Restart Apache2:

!!!!!###################################################!!!!!
[size=large]NOTE:[/size] In repositories of Debian nginx has version 0.7.67, but him is very old.
You can use last version if append the following to the end of the
/etc/apt/sources.list file:

Code

1. # nano /etc/apt/sources.list

PHP

1. deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginxdeb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx[/php][s]But if you use this solution -module will not work. Because starting with version 1.1.8:[quote]*) Change: the "limit_zone" directive was superseded by the "limit_conn_zone" directive with a new syntax.[/quote]So, the patch needs to be a small fix.In tutoial we use first solution - use old version of nginx[/s]!!!!!###################################################!!!!![/quote][size=x-large][color=#FF0000]Important[/color][/size] See [url=http://forum.i-mscp.net/Thread-HOWTO-Can-you-replace-the-apache-with-nginx?pid=6737#pid6737][u]this post[/u][/url]2. Install nginx:[code]# aptitude install nginx

3. Create mysql-user nginx in database:

Code

1. # mysql -u root -p Enter root's passwordmysql> USE imscpmysql> grant select on imscp.domain to 'nginx'@'localhost' identified by 'your_password_for_nginx';mysql> grant select on imscp.subdomain to 'nginx'@'localhost' identified by 'your_password_for_nginx';mysql> grant select on imscp.domain_aliasses to 'nginx'@'localhost' identified by 'your_password_for_nginx';

4. Configure rotation logs of nginx:

Code

1. # nano /etc/logrotate.d/nginx

contents of the file is replaced by:

PHP

1. /var/log/nginx/*.log { daily missingok rotate 20 compress delaycompress notifempty create 640 root adm sharedscripts postrotate if [ $(ps ax | grep nginx | grep -v grep | wc -l) = "0" ]; then killall -s HUP nginx; fi endscript }[/php]5. Download script (patch) for configure nginx:[code]# cd /usr/local/src# wget http://testino.ru/dir/ispcp-nginx.zip# unzip ispcp-nginx.zip# cd ispcp-nginx# chmod +x ispcp-nginx.pl# nano ispcp-nginx.conf

find lines:

PHP

1. APACHEIP = enter ip-address of your server (192.168.1.225)DBPASS = enter password for nginx of mysql-user (your_password_for_nginx)[/php]copy ispcp-nginx.conf to /etc/nginx:[code]# cp ispcp-nginx.conf /etc/nginx

delete default.conf:

Code

1. # rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Now we generate new nginx config:

Code

1. # cd /usr/local/src/ispcp-nginx# service apache2 stop# service nginx stop

[size=large]!!!!STOP!!!STOP!!!STOP!!!![/size]

This script (patch) is for isp-control. We must adapted for IMSCP.
Edit ispcp-nginx.pl:

Code

1. # nano ./ispcp-nginx.pl

Go to line 33:

PHP

1. .......open (CFG,"/etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf") || die "Can't open ispcp configuration file /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf!: $! ";.......[/php]replace this line on:[code=php]open (CFG,"/etc/imscp/imscp.conf") || die "Can't open imscp configuration file /etc/imscp/imscp.conf!: $! ";[/php]go to line 169:[code=php]..... root /var/www/ispcp/gui/;.....[/php]replace this line on:[code=php] root /var/www/imscp/gui/;[/php]Run this script (patch):[code]# ./ispcp-nginx.pl

Make changes to config files for apache2, to nginx auto configured itself:

Code

1. # cp ispcp-nginx.pl /etc/nginx# nano /var/www/imscp/engine/PerlLib/Servers/httpd/apache_itk.pm

find sub restart
and place line

PHP

1. system('/etc/nginx/ispcp-nginx.pl');[/php]do as in the illustration:[img]http://s019.radikal.ru/i617/1205/24/866f6336d237.jpg[/img][quote][size=large]!!!!NOTE:[/size]It may be wrong, because the logic is different from the other panels (Omega, Easyscp).When I configured on Omega & Easyscp I placed this line [quote]system('/etc/nginx/ispcp-nginx.pl');[/quote] to /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-serv-mngr in [code=php]sub restart_httpd{....}[/php].[/quote]4. For monitoring nginx in IMSCP you must do this:[code]# mysql -u root -p

Enter root's password

Code

1. mysql> USE imscpmysql> INSERT INTO `imscp`.`config` (`name` ,`value`)VALUES ('PORT_NGINX', '81;tcp;NGINX;1;1;192.168.1.225');

where 192.168.1.225 - is ip of server.

5. Add iptables rules:

Code

1. # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING ! -s 127.0.0.1 -d 192.168.1.255 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 81

where 192.168.1.225 - is ip of your server.

6. Reboot your server:

Code

1. #reboot
