Install Nginx in a cPanel server

Posted on Sunday July, 18 2010 | 0 Comments

1) Go to WHM > Tweak Settings and change the Apache port:

The port on which Apache listens for HTTP connections. Specifying a specific IP will prevent Apache from listening on all other IPs. (default: 0.0.0.0:80)

To:
0.0.0.0:8081

----------

2) Grab a copy of the nginx installation script:

mkdir /root/cpacct && cd /root/cpacct
wget underhost.com/nginxsetup.tar
tar xf nginxsetup.tar
cd publicnginx
./nginxinstaller install

-----------

3) If you receive this error when trying to install:

access key doesn't exist create it in WHM

Then go to WHM > Cluster/Remote Access > Setup Remote Access Key and click on the "Generate New Key" button.

4)  At that point, then re-run "./nginxinstaller install" command. Rebuild Apache and then restart nginx and Apache
