I am in the process of trying to configure a Server with https and for some reason it seems the requests are not hitting nginx at all. I have everything working properly but once I go to enable ssl it gives me an will not accept any requests on port 443 (connection timeout). Does anyone know how I can begin to debug this issue? I am using all of the same logic I have used on previous servers.
Trying to decide between these two configs:
Nginx -> HAProxy -> Apache servers
Nginx -> Apache servers
I'm wondering what benefits there are of using the first configuration over the second. I've heard that HAProxy is better at load balancing than Nginx but wasn't able to find any specifics.
Also, how much of a performance difference is there between the first and second option?
I am extremely new to this so please don't shoot me down:
I have set up a Linode running Ubuntu, It is all sort of working except Nginx.
I am following this guide:
http://rubysource.com/deploying-a-rails-application/
And this for nginx:
http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/installation/ubuntu-10.04-lucid
When I go to my IP, I get a 500 internal server error.
I have tried starting nginx
I added a server stanza to my virtual.conf, and now nginx seems to have a problem reloading the config.
At this point I don't know what exactly is going wrong or how to debug better.
Could you tell me if a configuration as below looks ok to serve pages delivered from my web servers. Is there some difficulty?
Requests --> HaProxy --> Varnish --> Nginx (frontend web server).
Is-it better to install varnish on my load balancers (haproxy) or on my web servers?
Cheers and thanks!
I'm setting up a VPC cluster for my collaborative todo list application www.getdoneapp.com.
To have my servers on the private network I need a NAT server so my servers on the private network can connect to the internet to receive updates and what not.
The NAT server will consume an elastic IP address, so I'm wondering if I can just have that NAT server run nginx to direct traffic to my internal
Looking to implement an office network with peak # users of 40-50 people and clients and I'm thinking that nginx could be used as a transparent proxy to cache requests to any HTTP-based site at the edge of the network. Is this possible? And if so, how?
I have tried googling and searching but it seems that all resources seem to point at hosting your own servers and caching requests to those.
I wanted to ask about Nginx Retry of Requests. I have a Nginx running at the backend which then sends the requests to HaProxy which then passes it on the web server and the request is processed. I am reloading my Haproxy config dynamically to provide elasticity. The problem is that the requests are dropped when I reload Haproxy.
I try to set up a (pretty) high availability solution for a service that I run on Linux machines and here's what I come up with:
- one front end server used for balancing.
