yum install nginx
Now let's reconfigure Apache. To do this, open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change NameVirtualHost to:
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080
Also, change the opening tag of each virtual host:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
That's it for Apache. Now go to /etc/nginx and open nginx.conf. Here are the general parameters:
user nginx;
worker_processes 4;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
HTTP server parameters:
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $status '
'"$request" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
#Content archiving
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_proxied expired no-cache no-store private auth;
gzip_types text/plain application/xml application/x-javascript text/javascript text/css;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_disable Firefox/([0-2]\.|3\.0);
gzip_disable Chrome/2;
gzip_disable Safari;
gzip_comp_level 3;
And now, for each Virtual Host, the following record should be present:
server {
listen 80;
server_name eddnet.org www.eddnet.org;
access_log /var/log/nginx/host.access.log main;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 10m;
}
If you want to cache some content, simply add the following to the description:
location /uploads/files {
add_header Content-type application/octet-stream;
internal;
}
location /uploads/img {
#Cache images for 4 months
expires 4M;
#Cache everywhere (both on the proxy and on clients)
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
location /cache/tumb/ {
#Cache images for 4 months
expires 4M;
#Cache everywhere (both on the proxy and on clients)
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
Now here is the full configuration, so you don't get confused about what goes where and how:
user nginx;
worker_processes 4;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
