Fronting Virtualmin's Apache with Nginx automatically.

HOW TO (tested on CentOS 7)

• Install Virtualmin as usual

• Tell Virtualmin to use Apache ports 1080 for HTTP and 1443 for HTTPS in vhosts, do this from Virtualmin > System Settings > Server Templates > Apache Website > Port number for virtual and SSL hosts. ![Screenshot2] (http://img.nux.ro/3Tq-Selection_189.png)

• You may need to edit your existing configuration and change the ports accordingly, in the main config

as well as per vhost (or virtualserver)

service httpd restart

• Install Nginx and set it to include .conf files from /etc/nginx/vhosts/*.conf (and create that dir); it also needs to run as user/group Apache

mkdir /etc/nginx/vhosts

echo "include /etc/nginx/vhosts/*.conf;" > /etc/nginx/conf.d/vmin-nginx.conf

sed -i s/"user nginx;"/"user apache apache;"/g /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

service nginx restart

systemctl enable nginx

• Set Virtualmin to run this script as Pre/Post command: /usr/local/bin/vmin-nginx.sh

• Download the script and make it executable:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NuxRo/vmin-nginx/master/vmin-nginx.sh -O /usr/local/bin/vmin-nginx.sh

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vmin-nginx.sh
