Use Nginx instead of Apache in Plesk server

[Reynier_Perez_Mira]

I have a VPS running Parallels Plesk 12.0.18 Update#36 and CentOS 6.6. I'll like to move (if it's possible uninstall complete) Apache and let Nginx to manage all the request coming from outside but haven't idea in how to get this done. Can any give me some tips or advice or point me to the right docs?

Maybe you can learn from this example http://www.aljtmedia.com/blog/migrating-from-apache-web-server-to-nginx-on-a-centos-65-vps/
** BE aware ** This tutorial above was made with centos 6.5 and i recommend to make a complete backup before playing. Google tutorials don't always work.
I also read somewhere about SElinux breaking Nginx in CentoOS 6.6 so be extra careful.

@Noturns that's from command line and I have a basic knowledge about it but it's recommended to do that? I thought that Plesk comes with Nginx and also I've installed but I'm not sure how to handle Nginx virtual hosts from within Plesk even don't know if it's possible and that's what I'm looking for, drop Apache complete and let Nginx manage all the request from outside

Hi Reynier_Perez_Mira,

Parallels provides not only additional webhosting directives for apache, but as well for nginx in your webhosting settings over the Plesk Control Panel and last but not least, you can use the "htaccess to nginx" - converter ( product description: Convert apache htaccess rewrite rules to nginx rewrite rules automatically ), which is a free extension for Plesk.
"Dropping apache completely" is not possible at the moment, with Plesk 12.
