SPDY Nginx - Plesk 12

[Mo_Justice]

Hello Everyone,

i have installes SPDY manualley and its working, but in a while plesk overrides my conf:

/etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/YOURDOMAINNAME.conf

****
listen xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:443 default_server ssl;

TO

listen xxxxxxxxxxx:443 default_server ssl SPDY;

After a while plesk overwrites it to the default.

any idea on how to fix this?


thank you

Please create CUSTOM templates in a folder like "/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/" to be sure, that Plesk doesn't use the default templates, if you would like customized templates. Please see the online documenation as well:

Appendix A: Web Server Configuration Files ( Plesk 12 - online documentation )​

Hello,

thank you for your fast replay!
i really dont get it. the files in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/ are php based and i am not used to it.

or do i just create a mydonain.conf there and thats all?

thanks

Its pretty easy to configure some additional configuration for specific configuration - files, Mo_Justice. Just follow these steps:

First, create a "custom" folder inside "/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/"

mkdir /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom

Second, copy these files to the newly created custom folder, which you would modify with your own special setting:
For example:

cp /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/nginxWebmailPartial.php /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/

I don't give you a full list, of all needed nginx - files for your desired modification, because I think that you are able to investigate yourself, WHICH nginx - files have to be copied from the "default" folder. If there is a line inside a template like:

listen <?php echo $ipAddress->escapedAddress . ':' . $OPT['frontendPort'] . ($OPT['ssl'] ? ' ssl' : '') ?>;

and it is named with "nginx" - it has to be copied over to the "custom" folder, so you can modify it. Be aware to keep the path... so if a file is located at ".../default/domain/..." is has to be copied to ".../custom/domain/..."


Third, after you copied over all needed templates, you then open each file in "/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/" and search for the line:

listen <?php echo $ipAddress->escapedAddress . ':' . $OPT['frontendPort'] . ($OPT['ssl'] ? ' ssl' : '') ?>;

and modify this line to:

listen <?php echo $ipAddress->escapedAddress . ':' . $OPT['frontendPort'] . ($OPT['ssl'] ? ' ssl' : '') ?>SPDY;

Fourth ( and you are nearly done now ^^ ), you have to run the command:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

Fifth, well... you just have to restart NGINX now, with the command:

service nginx restart
​

Finally, I just want to mention that you may certainly skip all the copies and you certainly may edit the default templates as well, but be aware that Plesk will do updates/upgrades/patches in the future and then all your changes will be lost, because Plesk might overwrite the default templates. Plesk itself never touches "custom" directives.
