Setting up NginX
Version 4.2 by weec on 2014/07/10
I'm running XWiki Enterprise on the Glassfish 2 Application Server.
NginX listens on vostrets.ru:80 and redirects HTTP queries to vostrets.ru:8080 and thus NginX is referred to as "frontend" and Glassfish as "backend".
Glassfish is installed in the /user/local/glassfish/glassfish folder.
For more information you can consult the NginX manual.
I've configured my NginX as follows (/etc/nginx.conf):
user www-data;
worker_processes 2; # This should be equal to number of CPUs
worker_rlimit_nofile 20000; # Max open file descriptors, increase if nginx is serving large amount of static data for many users
events
{
worker_connections 1024; # number of max connections per worker (worker_connections * worker_processes = max connections)
use epoll;
multi_accept on;
}
http
{
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server_tokens off; # don't send nginx version to end users
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 4; # increase for better compression (values 1 to 9, 1 = fastest, 9 = slowest/best compression)
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript; # compress multiple mime types
gzip_disable "msie6"; # disable gzip for IE<=6
gzip_vary on; # send Vary: Accept-Encoding header
gzip_proxied any; # enable compression for proxied requests
server
{
listen 80;
server_name vostrets.ru;
# redirect all http://vostrets.ru/* requests to http://www.vostrets.ru/*
