[Solved] help required - change nginx port

[Imad S]

Hey,

I need help in changing the nginx port. I've followed various threads and have created a custom nginxDomainVirtualHost.php file at: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain, while the website indeed moves to the port I have set, a second nginx thread starts at port 80 and takes over in it's place.

I need to put varnish at port 80 and cannot do so until all services relinquish control on port 80.

Help please.

Solved!

Followed clues here:

Turn's out to be able to change the nginx port to a non-standard port you need to edit 6 files

• nginx.php
  
• nginxDomainForwarding.php
  
• nginxDomainForwardingIpDefault.php
  
• nginxDomainVhost.php
  
• nginxDomainVhostIpDefault.php
  
• nginxWebmail.php

For the time being i disabled SSL support for my test domain as I didn't need it. The line you need to look for the in above files is:

$VAR->server->nginx->httpPort

So the line would finally become from this:

<?php echo $VAR->includeTemplate('server/nginxVhosts.php', array(
    'ssl' => false,
    'frontendPort' => $VAR->server->nginx->httpPort,
    'backendPort' => $VAR->server->webserver->httpPort,
)) ?>

to this:

<?php echo $VAR->includeTemplate('server/nginxVhosts.php', array(
    'ssl' => false,
    'frontendPort' => "8888",
    'backendPort' => $VAR->server->webserver->httpPort,
)) ?>

To get this to work you'll need to create a custom directory at: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates
and copy the files over from the root of /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default


Hope this helps someone.
