nginx automated installer

[blargman]

Evidently I don't know hot to post in the right forum.

This is an automated nginx installer for cpanel. Integrates so that domain adding/removal is all done automatically.
Some people had asked for cpanel support. In lieu of that, this does pretty much everything I can think of that they would do. It creates a vhost for each domain/addon/subdomain and serves up static content.

Let me know if you have any thoughts/questions or better yet suggestions.

Anyone have tried this?

 

[blargman]

Did you have a question on it?

 

[erikg]

This script works wonderfully even for people who don't know how to properly use NGINX. Thanks Blargman you saved my day! :D

 

[blargman]

hah, full disclosure, I should say I work with Erikg :P , but thanks Erik.

 

[xanubi]

I would like to know if i install this on a production server that have 20 configured domains, each one with subdomains and domain addons, will the install create the correct configuration for that existing vhosts?

 

[blargman]

That is correct xanubi. It pulls all of the domains/subdomains from the machine via the cpanel userdata files as well as the Cpanel XML API.

i have got nginx installed by some other guys before , if i use this will it update old ? what version of nginx this installs stable or developer ?

 

[blargman]

It currently installs the latest stable 0.7.65. If you install it, it would overwrite your nginx.conf with it's own so it would upgrade it in a sense. Though I would suggest making a backup of your config. Running ./nginxinstaller uninstall and then running ./nginxinstaller install. Just to be sure any of your old config was not still lingering.

Do you have old configuration data that you wish to keep?

 

[texo]

blargman, thank you very much for this. I've gone through your readme, but could you --please -- post a step-by-step for those of us who don't quite know where to start with the files we've downloaded from you?

 

[blargman]

Hey Texo, usage is just install and uninstall as far as the nginxinstaller script goes.

cd /usr/local/src
wget blargman.com/public.tar
tar xf public.tar
cd publicnginx
./nginxinstaller install


Let me know if there is something else or if you have any questions

 

[texo]

Awesome, thank you. Two more questions, please:

does this replace apache or work in tandem, serving static files and passing everything else on to apache

would you be offering support for $$$/hour?

 

[blargman]

I plan on shortly adding fcgi support to complete replace apache. Currently it serves up static content and passes php to Apache.

I'm willing to help you with whatever you may need with it.

 

[xanubi]

I would like to give some sugestions, based on what i see after install and production.

======================
1) createvhosts.py
======================
Add more file types, like this:
location ~* \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|htm|html|txt|js|css|exe|zip|rar|gz|tgz|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf)$ {

======================
2) STATUSURL="http://localhost/whm-server-status"
======================
On files:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

Change the line:
STATUSURL="http://localhost/whm-server-status"
To:
STATUSURL="http://localhost:8081/whm-server-status"

======================
3) Service and Chkcfg
======================
Edit file /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf and add nginx:1

Add a file named nginx to /etc/chkserv.d/ and inside put this:
service[nginx]=x,x,x,service nginx restart,nginx,root


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

That's it. With this settings, the "apache status" option of cpanel will work again, and the nginx service will be monitored and you can choose it from cpanel option "service manager". I hope this helps.

 

[blargman]

No problem. I added these for you.

 

[nixell]

i will testing it thanks

How nginx can be uninstall and switch back to apache in case of any issue??

 

[blargman]

./nginxinstaller uninstall

This will remove it completely and set you back to Apache only.

 

[9xlinux]

Hey Texo, usage is just install and uninstall as far as the nginxinstaller script goes.

cd /usr/local/src
wget blargman.com/public.tar
tar xf public.tar
cd publicnginx
./nginxinstaller install


Let me know if there is something else or if you have any questions

/etc/init.d/nginx restart
Restarting nginx daemon: nginx[warn]: duplicate MIME type "text/html" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:22
What I need to do?

 

[xanubi]

/etc/init.d/nginx restart
Restarting nginx daemon: nginx[warn]: duplicate MIME type "text/html" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:22
What I need to do?

I had that problem. Edit the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and remove the word text/html. Don't worry, nginx will serve html files the same way.
