I am currently trying to take some load of my Apache web server.
The idea is to let nginx handle the static files.
The procedure is simple nginx pass-> 8080 to Apache.
There is just one problem.
The server has Plesk installed, and Plesk handles the vhosts with the .include files in every vhost folder/config.
Every vhost has an different port and setup in his own .include file, and that makes it impossible to change the Apache port to 8080 on a global level.
Any ideas?
As mentioned, it’s better to use latest plesk 11, because it has native nginx support and it’s actually stable now.
Since Plesk 9.5 appears ability to change apache ports through /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng check for –set-http-port and –get-http-port in this pdf
Since Plesk 10.2 there is ability to change apache port on global level through plesk database http://kb.parallels.com/11232
