Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Change Nginx Port

I need changing the nginx port. I've followed various threads and have created a custom nginxDomainVirtualHost.php file at: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain, while the website indeed moves to the port I have set, a second nginx thread starts at port 80 and takes over in it's place.

I need to put varnish at port 80 and cannot do so until all services relinquish control on port 80.

Turn's out to be able to change the nginx port to a non-standard port you need to edit 6 files

nginx.php
nginxDomainForwarding.php
nginxDomainForwardingIpDefault.php
nginxDomainVhost.php
nginxDomainVhostIpDefault.php
nginxWebmail.php

For the time being i disabled SSL support for my test domain as I didn't need it. The line you need to look for the in above files is:

Code:

$VAR->server->nginx->httpPort

So the line would finally become from this:

Code:

<?php echo $VAR->includeTemplate('server/nginxVhosts.php', array(
'ssl' => false,
'frontendPort' => $VAR->server->nginx->httpPort,
'backendPort' => $VAR->server->webserver->httpPort,
)) ?>

to this:

Code:

<?php echo $VAR->includeTemplate('server/nginxVhosts.php', array(
'ssl' => false,
'frontendPort' => "8888",
'backendPort' => $VAR->server->webserver->httpPort,
)) ?>

To get this to work you'll need to create a custom directory at: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates

And copy the files over from the root of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default
