nginx automated installer

[activa]

Sounds like a open_basedir issue.

but it was working before , when i uninstall nginx , all work perfectly . when install nginx , client can't work outside the public html directory .

Indeed, it might be an open_basedir problem (it was, in my case)

Edit /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local

Change the lines with open_basedir in

php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/[% vhost.user %]/:[% vhost.homedir %]:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"

Backup first then rebuild httpd.conf using /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf then restart nginx/apache.

Did the script get installed? How do I know if it actually works?

Thanks

I am all set now. Thank you!

Does nginx allow multiple SSLs (UCC or wildcard certs) per single IP? I noticed in the Virtualadmin documentation a note that it is not possible so I was wondering if cPanel installs suffer from the same limitation.

Thanks

Maybe unrelated to this thread title, but i think what i'm about to write can help other users and the developer.
After installing this CP plugin, i started to get big latency on a random base. My MPM workers were nice with PHP-PFM until, at some point the application started to get latencies of more than 600 ms... I tried to debug it but apparently there were no clear clues why this happened . If i went Apache, the latency was about 50 ms, the same with nginx. It didn't looked like following any logic, until i made a change to the config file through the plugin UI and restarted nginx a couple of times. Right after that i begun to see the big response latency coming back. Before that i changed things directly through cPanel and restarted xginx from there...

The fix is: changing the non SSL port in cPanel back to 80 -> restart Apache from console -> wait 30 seconds or refresh the website so you see Apache as server in headers -> change back the non SSL port to 8081 in cPanel -> restart Apache from console. If i restart from plugin UI in cPanel, the latency nightmare begins. Hope it helps.

S.

EDIT:

This solution proved of no use. But, i later made an interesting discovery. Querying http://example.com:8081 several times brings back the normal latency for a couple of hours on both http://example.com (nginx) as on http://example.com:8081 (Apache). Still investigating

After I installed this php sessions no longer worked. I have custom session folders for domains. I made those 777 but even this didn't work.

Like for example. I can login, and after redirection it shows me as logged in, but than when switching pages I'm logged out. I'm sure it's a permission error anyone know where I should look?

Normally I have those directory's 711.

Installed this yesterday afternoon on my friends Cpanel server

Noticed an immediate and noticeable speed increase and a fairly significant load drop to boot.

Thanks very much for the plugin.

So it seems the default behavior is now to pass everything to Apache.
How would I go about bypassing this for a specific file type in a sub-directory?


Example:
mysite.com/proxy-to-apache.html
smyite.com/nginx/serve-directly.html


Heres the default filter used in the vhost file:

          location / {
          location ~.*\.(3gp|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|html|htm|txt|js|css|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso)$ {
          expires 7d;
          try_files $uri @backend;
          }

Hello there!

I am currently looking into implementing this plugin in my production server. I have read that the main problems, using nginx with cpanel are:

1. Not compatible with .htaccess rules, so wordpress etc won' t work out of the box.

2. Some problem with addon domains, not sure what the problem is exactly.

3. Not compatible with mod_security, so i can' t use gotroot rules.

4. Apache protected folders don' t work.


Do these problems still exist with this plugin? If i make the transition to nginx i want to be sure that it will be 100% transparent to end users, because i can' t modify every account separately.

^^ The above errors are gone now as it seemed there was some ubc limits put on my vps which after removing, nginx worked fine.
