Hi,

I am currently running the 1.2 build.
But after some testing I found out that nginx is running faster than apache.
My old server will be replaced by a new machine and now I was wondering about these things:
- Is custombuild 2 ready for a production server?
- Is it possible to build nginx with the ngx_pagespeed module?
- I read: "Nginx is a high performance webserver as a replacement for Apache. However, the higher performance will come at the cost of a slightly reduced feature set, and requires CustomBuild 2.0, and the php mode to be php-fpm." (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=556). What is the slightly reduced feature set?
 
Hi, i can reply just to the know things, so:

1 - Yes
2 - I dont know but i presume yes with a custom config
3 - Dont know :P

Regards
 
"Reduced feature set" - no .htaccess support, no CGI-BIN support. ngx_pagespeed module has no problems, however, it must be configured manually.

things I can live with.
A url with more info on how to do it manually?
 
is the support compiled into the nginx version of directadmin?
Because both sites are about configuring it?
 
Maybe a last silly question.
But how can I install custombuild 2.0 with nginx in the setup.sh script?
Or should I select 1. Custom build and do some commands after the ./setup.sh?
 
rpr, it's possible to change the options on the installation time when you select CB 2.0, or you can go with defaults, and edit the options.conf file afterwards.

Tried it today but during the setup I select 1. Custombuild 2.0
but I never see the options to select nginx from the box.

Tried this method but it seems that this method is to allow modules which are in the default installation.
ngx_pagespeed is a custom module.

When I tried to build the nginx again I get this message:
PHP: 
Found /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz
Extracting /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz...
Configuring nginx-1.6.2
./configure: error: invalid option "--with-ngx_pagespeed"

*** There was an error while trying to configure Nginx. Check the custom/nginx/configure.nginx file

Where do I place the ngx_pagespeed code?

Thanks for the help!
 
Is there an option for the client to create rewrite rules using the gui?
Or should the admin do it for the user?
