nginx will look for web files under /usr/local/nginx/html. However, I want to put my website files under /home/public_html, is that possible with nginx? I can not find many things about nginx conf file explanation,
I'll mention this is a cPanel/WHM server with about 15 accounts on it.
I get an e-mail everyday from my server's backup script telling me what new or changed files it found. Yesterday this summary was massive, and it showed new or changed files in these directories:
The /home/virtfs directory is something I haven't seen before, and it contained two directories belonging to two accounts on the server.
Does anyone know why these directories would be created or what they are for? The bit of reading I've done on this so far mentions that these directories will be created as a result of jailed SSH, but neither of those two accounts have ever had jailed SSH enabled.
I have recently switched from Ubuntu to Mint because I would like to enjoy out of the box functionality. I installed Apache, PHP and Mysql. When I go to localhost, the page displays correctly indicating that the server is functioning. In /var/www/html I created devPages. In devPages I created a symlink to a directory in my home directory where I keep all of my html/php files.
When I point my browser to http://localhost/devPages/1/ I get "You don't have permission to access /devPages/1/ on this server". This appears to be a permissions/ownership issue. I don't want to change the permissions for the directory or files in the home directory because they are set to work properly on my production server. Is there a way to get apache to accept files in my home directory?
I have set owner and group for devPages and the symlink to www-data. Set permissions to 755 for devPages.
By the way, under Ubuntu, I have always used a symlink and it always worked without any issues.
I need to clean up the .spamassassin directory for all the accounts on the server. The Bayes files are getting too big and causing mail handling issues.
How would I do that?
I assume this won't work - and don't want to try it until I hear a little feedback:
rm -f /home/*/.spamassassin/*bayes*
Basically, I need a command that will do what the above command looks like it would do - I just don't think the wildcards will work in that manner, and don't want to try it for fear of deleting items outside of the .spamassassin directory.
I'm running CentOS 5.3.x with cPanel/WHM - if it matters...
And feel free to suggest other spam blocking software - but we've gotten rather good at tweaking SA to get the job done. Just this annoyance of the bayes files growing continuously is a pain sometimes...
I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.
for some reason virtual host which i create,i always get error 403.I tried many things,from chowing to various owners and other,until i found temporal solution-i created copy of html directory(which is created during install and which working fine) called bla,and pointed domain to bla directory and then it worked.But this is problematic since all files are in home directory,which means i will need to copy all of them into /usr/local/nginx/.
Also what is problem is with alias,i have a script which is located at /home/ also and that again causing that 403 error since it's not located in /usr/local/nginx.I tried to make it work by creating symbolic link but that didn't worked.Seems only solution would be to copy script to nginx directory which will require a lot of file editing because of location change.
Also there is a problem with domain alias-*.domain.com not working at all,nor 1.domain.com.If i have *.domain.com instead domain.com,then i get 404 error on directory alias,while it works on www.
How do i enable hotlink blank protection for images,where images can be loaded only by specified domains and direct access?
And how to rewrite following apache rule:
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ /st/st.php?%{QUERY_STRING}
I using latest stable version,and i think same problems was on latest
legacy version too.
Here is my server section of domain: server { listen 81; server_name www.domain.com *.domain.com ;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / { root bla; index index.php index.html index.htm; } location /TC/ { alias /home/tradecontrol/client/; }
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html # error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root bla; }
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80 # #location ~ .php$ { # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1; #}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 # location ~ .php$ { root bla; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/nginx/bla$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; }
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root # concurs with nginx's one # #location ~ /.ht { # deny all; #} }
i dunno if any one here can help (im hoping some one can) but basically i have installed nginx onto a freebsd server, added 2 domains to this webserver.
the first domain works correctly and loads up all php files etc how ever the second domain wont.
its pretty confusing as both configs are the same, if i comment out the working config the non working one will work perfect.
I have a large proxy, are getting ~3k pageviews/day.
I only got 128 MB RAM on my VPS, so no panels works on it (not even kloxo/lxa). I would guess apache wont do it in the long run either.
So I decided to go with nginx. But I feel it isn't quite good optimized, as it sometimes takes like 1 minute to load the page.
Here is my current config:
####################################################################### # # This is the main Nginx configuration file. # # More information about the configuration options is available on # * the English wiki - http://wiki.codemongers.com/Main # * the Russian documentation - http://sysoev.ru/nginx/ # #######################################################################
#---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Main Module - directives that cover basic functionality # # http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxMainModule # #----------------------------------------------------------------------
we got installed Nginx on server though it helped us to reduce load of our file uploading sites server ,strange but uploads are not working, script uses uber upload please help me to get it work
I have nginx conf which works perfectly fine with ip adress,but when i put domain then php for some reason no longer works,i getting download php file situation.
Here is main conf file:

A few days ago I switched from lighttpd to nginx for serving images on my photo hosting service. I've noticed speeds have increased greatly, and average server load has dropped from 0.15, down to 0.01.
Nginx was originally made by this russian guy, and has gotten fairly popular among nerds. I was just wondering if anybody else out there is using it, and if they have any tips for optimization, or feature improvements.
The one thing i miss about lighttpd was the server-status module. Nginx has it's own, but it doesn't seem to be as verbose as the one lighttpd had.
I have install FreeBSD and i use Nginx for run my website on this webserver.
All working good and the server running from 1/2month..
Today when i visits my site i have see Nginx Gateway Error 502.. and from shell i run top command and all processor are using 0% of cpu but use the normal ram..
all is stopped..
but i don't know why and how happen..
Any people have the same error?
I think i do create a monitor script and when appen just reboot the server (i have solve this problem rebooting the server each 502 error)
does anyone on this forum know how to do a referral check to prevent hot linking to files that are on a nginx server? There is this regex code you use but I don't know how to put it together. how to do it on nginx using their rewrite module?
I am wondering if there is an easy way to convert apache to nginx on my Plesk 12 server. Ideally, I would like to save all my hosts without having to re set them all up. I have been searching online, but haven't found a simple way to do so.
According to the latest trend and technological advances, which server software should people go with from the very beginning. Which do you recommend as on today?
btw anybody has experience with all 3 (apache/nginx/litespeed) webservers?
I have -
On a common shared environment, I started off with Apache - was fine until some load started generating and it became crapache.
Then litespeed - Totally awesome, could seriously feel the difference, but its cost is something not everybody can afford.
Then nginx - Very nice, felt like litespeed only, the only difference was it got quite complex in configuring it at a later stage BUT its free'ness made me love it badly.
Has anybody successfully used nginx in a shared web hosting environment?
It seems quite powerful and looks like it would be well suited for such an environment, combined with FastCGI, looks like it could serve a lot of hits on relatively inexpensive servers.
The main problem I'm foreseeing is a demand for mod_rewrite, which may cause some support headaches.
Anything else I'm not thinking of?
(I did search but the last post I found was from 2007 with no replies, and necroposting is bad)
I have a VPS running Parallels Plesk 12.0.18 Update#36 and CentOS 6.6. I'll like to move (if it's possible uninstall complete) Apache and let Nginx to manage all the request coming from outside.
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.
