I have set up Nginx as a reverse proxy to Apache on a web server.
Nginx is listening on 0.0.0.0:80 and passing through to 127.0.0.1:81
This all seems to be working fine, except when I first load the site at the root level (i.e.
I'm using nginx as reverse proxe for a single machine.
I would like to have an error page when the backend machine goes down.
This is my configuration file:
server {
listen 80;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
root /var/www/nginx;
error_page 403 404 500 502 503 504 /error.html;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.78/;
include
I just installed nginx on my Linux Mint system that already had apache2 working. However nginx took over all request to localhost and all my virtual domains and displayed the default page for nginx in response to every url. I assumed it just took over port 80 which apache2 was using.
dI logged into my EC2 console created a new instance and attached an Elastice IP to it. Then I logged into the server and installed Nginx:
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
$ Starting nginx: nginx.
When I navigate to the Elastic IP (or Public DNS) I get nothing. The default setting should be enough to show me the default Nginx welcome page right?
Nginx is a web server / proxy server, according to Wikipedia, this is the description:
Nginx is an HTTP and reverse proxy server famous for its slick performance. A few days back, the people behind the Nginx project decided to form a company and thus set standards for all their operations. Nginx is not as popular as Apache but it is indeed a better option than Apache if you want peak performance and can manage the correct setup.
I have a website running Nginx and Apache, ...Apache deals with PHP files, and Nginx the html static files, we have now changed the site so there are no html static files, only PHP files and this has heavy load on the server, so I wanted to put the nginx as a reverse proxy cache, so that the php files coming from Apache will be cached and delivered static...
Hi there,
I'm trying to get NGINX set up as a reverse proxy server for multiple SSL sites on one IP using SNI.
I have the following set up:
nginx as reverse proxy
apache (with passenger) for serving content
Now I have simple Sinatra application and the following happens if I try to access different things:
domain.com/hi - Sinatra says me Hi as was coded
domain.com/readme.txt (static file) - it is fetched correctly from the 'public_html' folder by nginx
And finally - domain.com/ or domain.com - 403 er
