Installing Nginx

aaP_jokke72

Hi, wanted to ask if there is anything I should consider before uninstalling Apache and installing Nginx?

I have multiple wordpress sites running with Apache, MySql and SSL sertificates. But now I would like to start using Docker and n8n and that requires Nginx. I have backups of the sites, including databases.

Do I just simply uninstall Apache and then install Nginx?

Hello, you may need to set the URL rewrite

Do you mean like in WP Toolkit -> Modify -> Config -> URL rewrite?
Or some Nginx setting that needs to get changed?

aaP_jokke72 Do you mean like in WP Toolkit -> Modify -> Config -> URL rewrite?

yes

So the content is different when using Nginx then Apache?
If I make a new wp site after installing Nginx, does it get the correct rewrite values for Nginx?
So after that I can use it to correct the old ones

Hello, you can select the corresponding template to set it

Haven't had the courage to update. But I still have one question about updating.
If I unsinstall Apache, do I still have access to aapanels webinterface to install nginx?

aaPanel_Kern

Hello, yes, these are two different services

aaP_jokke72

I know these are two diff services. My concern is, if I uninstall Apache does it effect the webinterface where you install other apps? Isn't aapanel itself running on some sort of webserver like apache or nginx? So if I unsinstall Apache, can I use aapanles webinterface to install Nginx?

Yes, you can uninstall both apache and nginx if you want, you can stil visit aapanel controlpanel.

aaPanel_Kern

Hello, please choose according to your own program nginx/apache Currently aaPanel suggests to use nginx
Operations on nginx/apache will not affect the aaPanel
