    Hi
    Do ISPConfig 3 support Nginx as a front end server and pass on the request it dont can handle?
    Like this control panel do: http://vestacp.com/

    ISPConfig supports apache as webserver and nginx as webserver and nginx as proxy in front of apache. Nginx can handle all requests that apache can handle, just faster, so no need for a slower fallback like some cp's that dont have real nginx support are doing it. If you really want to have nginx in front of apache, then thats possible as well with this addon: https://github.com/Rackster/ispconfig3-nginx-reverse-proxy

    The configuration files of this addon are in the same place where you find all ispconfig config file templates:

    /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/

    and

    /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/

    for config file overrides. The plugin does not require additional settings.

    you should be able to see e.g. with firefox developer tools if your website has been delivered by apache or nginx. Please note that this plugin has to be installed before you create a website.

    You can also try to contact the author of the plugin if you need more instructions for its installation.
