Nginx

	Warning:
	Work in progress. Do NOT try this on a production server

It is possible to install nginx on SME. However, careful consideration must be given to the existing apache installation.

	Warning:
	Before starting nginx you MUST decide what port to run it on and configure it accordingly

This is how to install on a specific port to avoid apache.

In this example we will use port 4483

Install

yum --enablerepo=epel install nginx

Configure

link in rc7.d

This enables nginx to start on boot.

Create /var/log/nginx and set permissions if required

mkdir -p /var/log/nginx

Configs

	Note:
	rename existing configs to config_con_ or move them completely to avoid issues

e.g.

cp /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.con_

Now add your own configuration

e.g.

/etc/nginx/conf.d/myconf.conf

Check the port. You can use dehydrated/letsencrypt certificates

Ports

Open a port on your firewall

config set nginx service TCPPort 4483 status enabled access public

signal-event remoteaccess-update

Start

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx start
