7 {{warning}}
8 * This configuration has been contributed by an XWiki user and needs to be verified.
9 * You likely won't need NginX if you have just a couple of hundred users browsing your wiki
10 {{/warning}}
11
12 Example running XWiki on the Glassfish 2 Application Server:
13
14 * NginX listens on ##<domain>:80## and redirects HTTP queries to ##<domain>:8080## and thus NginX is referred to as "frontend" and Glassfish as "backend".
15 * Glassfish is installed in the ##/user/local/glassfish/glassfish## folder.
16
17 For more information you can consult the [[NginX manual>>http://wiki.nginx.org/Main]].

19 NginX configuration example with ##<domain>## being ##vostrets.ru## (##/etc/nginx.conf##):

114
115 If you find the following message in your logs: {{code}}Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 413 (Request Entity Too Large){{/code}} then you might want to try to [[increase the request body size>>http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size]] since it seems nginx does not allow request bodies larger than 1MB by default.
