Configuring nginx as proxy for apache in ubuntu

Advertisements

Install apache2 and nginx services.

In this setup we configured apache to run on port 81 and nginx on port 80

nginx configuration file is given below :


root@host ~ # vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

user www-data;

worker_processes  1;
error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
    # multi_accept on;
}
http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;
    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;
    gzip  on;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

server {

        listen ip_address:80;

        server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

        location / {
