Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Password Protecting Sites With Nginx And PHP-FPM
Jun 21, 2015
I am seeing some some some strange behaviour when password protecting directories served by nginx and PHP-FPM. If I have a site set up so that 'Process PHP by nginx' is selected under ('Websites & Domains>Web Server Settings>nginx settings') and set up password protection ('Websites & Domains>Password-Protected Directories') PHP pages are still served without asking for a password.
If I untick 'Process PHP by nginx' the behaviour returns to normal and an attempt to any access files results in the password request.Is this behaviour by design? If so, it is not made clear when you set up the password protection that it will not apply to PHP pages if you have nginx process the PHP pages.
When I turn on nginx for the server I am able to browse non SSL protected sites correctly. I receive a 502 Bad Gateway error on any sites that have an SSL certificate. Is there a fix for this? I have been unable to find one.
today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.
Today at 12.50 pm my (ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS) server running plesk 12.0.18 suddenly stopped serving websites. Any attempts to access a webpage on any vhost returned the 502 bad gateway using Nginx error messsage.When I looked at the nginx logs, I found messages like:
Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: m.m.m.m, server: , request: "GET /server-status HTTP/1.0", upstream: URL....
Restarting apache & nginx (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart & /etc/init.d/nginx restart) made no difference and I had to reboot to restore http access.
Strangely if I browsed with port 7080 specified (i.e. http://n.n.n.n:7080), this worked fine for all vhosts, so apache (which I believe is listening on this port while nginx listens on port 80) is working fine - nginx is just not able to pass stuff to it?
My current version of nginx in plesk 11.5.44 is 1.5.0 and i would like to update it to the latest stable version which is 1.6.0. However, i cannot seem to manage to do so. I tried with yum update nginx but i receive Package(s) nginx available, but not installed.
this is a fresh Plesk 12 installation on a Dedicated Server, on Debian 6. I haven't installed a License key yet.When i tried to run MIgration Manager, the loading was taking forever. Also, when i try to enter Webserver Configurations Troubleshooter, i get 502 Bad Gateway nginx error.In the /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log i get this error:
Code: 2015/06/17 11:42:47 [error] 3918#0: *52 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: A.B.C.D, server: , request: "GET /modules/configurations-troubleshooter/index.php/index/list HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/sw-engine.sock:", host: "X.X.X.X:8443", referrer: "https://X.X.X.X:8443/admin/module/list?context=modules" When i try to insert a Plesk License, i also get this error:
My server admin already upgraded my OpenSSL to version 1.0.1m 19 Mar 2015 and he also upgraded Nginx to 1.6. I'm also running CentOS v5.11 and Plesk v11.5.
However, he tells me that he still can't get TLS 1.2 to work because he noticed that my server uses a different version of Nginx (sw-nginx), which he believes is part of Plesk. How we can get TLS 1.2 working on the Plesk copy of Nginx (sw-nginx)?
Plesk 12 will not do it and if you reinstall it you get errors after installation. Maybe a bug but seems nobody is interested in answering my question before.
I tried to remove by
apt-get remove --purge sw-nginx dpkg -r sw-ningx
Both of them display that is removed but after a new installation are the folders not created and maybe old files not overwritten if not deleted.
how is it possible that after an update my main site is down? This site: www.orderhosting.it has plesk Panel and I have 20 sites. They work perfectly but my main site is off. I think there is an error in the configuration because:
This is strange.Error log does not report any errors, only this: [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `Parallels Panel' does NOT match server name!?
i went to server setting and checked manage php with nginx then start getting 404 Not Found nginx. It was clear that it s a problem with the wordpress permanent links so i went in wordpress back-end and switched to default links then it start working but when i switched to permanent link againi got the previous error again
I searched for a while on internet and i found . URL.... So the problem that i have is that i added this piece of code manually in : /var/www/vhosts/system/domaine.com/conf/nginx.conf....Since it s mentioned above

I have installed the nginx on my server and want to activate it for all my domains, to do this, i have to do it manually for each domains. But there should be an easier way. Apache uses too much ram.
I have a problem with Nginx on myPlesk 12 with wildcard dns.I want subdomains URl to be like root domain url. Exemple. URL...You can see a live exemple here: URL.... give error 404 instead of showing root domain file (URL....). It's the same for images.What specific rule I must add in plesk panel?
Using Plesk 12 on a VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. In the Web Server Settings, if I select "Process PHP by nginx", then the URL "<domain>/plesk-stat/webstat/" is answered by Nginx with "404 Not Found". Having sniffed around, it seems:
/var/www/vhosts/system/VHOST/statistics/webstat is getting statistics gathered.I can't say if they are complete, or even sensible, but things are happening there.The various Alias and other statements required for access to AWStats via Apache are contained in the Apache config file /var/www /vhosts/system/VHOST/conf/last_httpd.conf..But no equivalent statements are generated in /var/www/vhosts/system/VHOST/conf/last_nginx.conf.
When I reboot my centOS 6.5 + Plesk 11.5 server, Nginx doesn't start and every time I need to go to Server > IP Addresses and click Reread IP.Then Plesk says that need to repair one of these ips, I click repair and then Nginx can start. ( I have 3 ips [2 ipv4 and 1 ipv6] )
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
i've set up a new Debian 7 server with Plesk 12. After the basic configuration, i've installed nginx via Plesk updater.Now, when restarting the whole server, nginx doesnt start for some reason. Plesk shows it as running, but `service nginx status` shows, that it isnt running. But an `nginx.pid` exists in /var/run, but it's empty.
However, starting it manually via `service nginx start` works fine without any error.I've already tried `update-rc.d nginx remove && update-rc.d nginx defaults` but without any success. I've also tried another init script, but same results.
Trying to enable CORS (cross-origin resource sharing)? I've tried just about everything with the NGINX conf files and individual conf files, but nothing seems to be working...
I've got VPS from OVH and on all my websites have problem. Any graphics / layouts / themes are not displayed but only texts and links on white background.
Don't know why. I was doing nothing this night on my server. I'm just uploaded new image file with screenshoot from wordpress admin panel here: [URL] ....
I installed Nginx and PHP-FPM through the Plesk Autoinstaller.It works well with the default PHP version installed originally with the CentOS 6 system (5.3.3). I also installed manually following your KB [URL] .... additional versions of PHP. It works well, and I can use those additional versions through the Plesk UI.
Therefore, I was wondering how to use them with PHP-FPM? As when I activate a domain for Nginx with PHP process (PHP-FPM), it switches the PHP version to 5.3.3 and I can't change this parameter.
