Nginx on a Perfect Server

Hello

I have a Debian Lenny server running ISPConfig 2 and am wondering if it's possible to install and configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to Apache listening on another port (say 8080) so that it sits in front of Apache as described in this article:

regards and thanks,

If you read the page you pasted, you should run into a link which describes what you want .. http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpProxyModule

it basicly comes down to:

1. install nginx
2. put in your config:

Code:

location / {
  proxy_pass        http://localhost:8000;
  proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
}

now all your requests will be proxied through nginx.

 

Thanks Mark - and my ISPConfig won't be affected?
