sobrenome Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Is anyone using Nginx as reverse caching proxy to Apache in IPS 4?The performance gains worth the maintance of Nginx?
ASTRAPI Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Nginx is super in any way that you plan to use it

Lukeroge Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Just use Nginx directly. There's no need to involve Apache at all these days.
ASTRAPI Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 @LukerogeTrue !!!!You can cache dynamin content using Zend opcache and Memcached....
sobrenome Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 I am stuck in Cpanel, and they are going to upgrade the system to allow Nginx as reverse proxy. Otherwise I would go with Nginx only.

There's no need to involve Apache at all these days.Apache is slightly better at serving dynamic content, and using the reverse proxy setup, you can also retain all htaccess re-write rules for your server, many other software apps reply on this as well as IPS too. So while you could use nginx alone or even apache alone, both on the current versions work very well and are much improved, doing nginx as a reverse proxy for apache is the best of both worlds.

Pross22 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Haven't needed apache for about 3 years now..Forums and countless WordPress installs all use one simple bit of codelocation / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; }

sobrenome Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Well, is there any special settings on Nginx as reverse caching proxy for best performance with IPS 4 or just the basic is ok?

But in that case, you might as well go the full way and use nginx.

For example i can use the mods of Nginx and Apache I use Nginx and Apache(mod_php) with htaccess disabled and my site is a bit faster than when i used nginx only solution.
Lukeroge Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Sure, I suppose mod_php can be a little lower-latency for smaller sites. But php5-fpm can scale to handle much higher loads!
