Hi, I've read a few tutorials that nginx as a proxy for apache makes for a better system by only letting apache do other server related tasks while nginx does all the static stuff. Is this still true for ISPConfig 3 as most of these articles seem outdated?
ISPconfig does not support nginx as reverse proxy for apache. If you want a fast server, use nginx directly as we do it in ISPConfig nginx setups.
There is no Debian 9 howto available yet. But you can use the Debian 9 apache howto and replace the apache part with nginx part from Debian 8 guide.
In the hope of not hijack the thread. Is it possible to transform an Apache+ISPConfig perfect server to an nginx+ISPConfig perfect server? Would apt remove apache2 && apt install nginx do? Thanks in advance
