nginx automated installer

[bman]

i have a site that using .htaccess to redirect .php files to .html but nginx cant see that rule/html files and gives 404 error because there are no actual .html files
there just php files which are rewrite to look like html
how to tell nginx to send that 404 error to Apache and let apache find the file and serve it

[bman]

Hello,

I tried this script on a server and had to remove instantly, as it was showing 404 (of nginx) in some complex situations where apache will return a page.

Is it possible to forward a 404 or any other error to apache to handle that properly?

- Vijay

thats what i also need " forward a 404 or any other error to apache to handle that properly "


also

Like i said on your PM, if you let nignx proxy the request, apache will get that and read whatever you have (htaccess, etc.).

is nignx proxying the request by default ? what do i need to change/enable to make it proxy requests

As an improvement I would like to request to incorporate the custom 4xx/5xx errors to be implemented by default to redirect to: /home/$USER/public_html/4xx.shtml .

This does not happen now,
Maybe i'll look into it myself later.

hello, my client is having problems with redirect, all redirects written in his .htaccess works except for .html , can someone figure it out why? I'm using cpAnel with Apache + nginx

Refer to my previous post. Simply remove .htm and .html from the media type list and you should be good to go!

After uninstalling the old version, and install this one, it went fine however after entering the command:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

I go this:

Restarting nginx daemon: nginxRemaining processes: 19474
cat: /var/run/nginx.pid: No such file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
not running[warn]: conflicting server name "*.az.vc" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
[warn]: conflicting server name "*.sohbeti.biz" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
[warn]: conflicting server name "*.sayt.im" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored

however I saw that:

Nginx on my Server Status page (WHM) is UP

and using top -c command via SSH, I saw

22001 nobody 30 15 30432 18m 752 S 0.3 0.3 0:00.12 nginx: worker process

Is nginx is already running on my server?

nginx can support wildcard subdomains.but it can't support different/multi domain based wildcard sub-domain.
So you must need to remove wildcard subdomains like *.az.vc and restart nginx.

Fantastic thread here, excellent to see it going still!

Has anyone updated from the older versions running 0.7 to the newer ones with 0.8? Did you have any problems or was it a straight install?

One modification I've made to our setup is changing the 'httpd restart' to 'http graceful' in /etc/init.d/nginx to avoid disruptions when Apache is restarted - we were getting complaints from clients seeing 502 Bad Gateway errors because the script first restarts Nginx, then Apache, causing an interruption whereas the graceful restart is much smoother.

So, should we use the script from blargman or the script from 9xlinux
