Nginx

You can create your own custom formats for ning web logs, to record more information or to make them easier to read.

Linux also provides a built-in kernel-level load balancer which can be used and made highly available in place of nginx.

Note that any logs defined in a virtual host will override log directives in the main engine config file.

It is very common to see asynchronous web frameworks use nginx as their web server.

The servers themselves run nginx, which handles static requests and proxies any dynamic requests to mongrel instances.

For a full list of format variables see the nginx core documentation and the nginx log format documentation .

The Passenger application server port to nginx was another project we sponsored.

With the configuration in place, service nginx start starts the web server.

Nginx's "log_format" directive is what lets you define your own access log setup.

This completes the process of setting up and testing your nginx proxy service.

Nginx is the web server of choice for many virtual environments.

As a result, you can use fast and slim web servers like Nginx to host it instead of servers like Apache.

The crm_mon command showed you which node is runing nginx.

Each app server runs haproxy on port 80 and runs nginx or apache on port 81.
