Hello, my best way of learning is by doing, so I decided to start my old server from scratch. It´s Debian Squeeze now, and should come with nginx as server software. Implementing nginx was my challenge yesterday. But it works fine right now. At the end I want a Server with ISPconfig 3 as frontend for the webs, reseller accounts and mail. At the moment I´m in a dead end, cause I wanted to implement the ability of handling cgi. I used this tutorial for it: http://www.howtoforge.com/serving-cgi-scripts-with-nginx-on-debian-squeeze-ubuntu-11.04 And I stopped here: vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/www.example.com.vhost If I look into /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ i can see an link to a file called default. There is another folder /etc/nginx/sites-available there is a default file as well but I´m not shure whether I have to implement it there. Next point on my question list is, whether I have to change http://127.0.0.1:8000; to my IP or should I leave it as it is? And last but not least, will there be automatically a CGI folder in each web or do I have to implement it manually.
All you have to do is follow chapter 4 from http://www.howtoforge.com/serving-cgi-scripts-with-nginx-on-debian-squeeze-ubuntu-11.04-p3 (do not use thttpd) and then use ISPConfig to enable CGI for a website. This is also covered in the ISPConfig 3 Manual.
