Configure Nginx ( FrontEnd ) and Apache ( Backend )

Why Run Nginx and Apache Together
Both nginx and apache are powerful and effective servers. Apache currently reigns as the #1 server for websites and since its public release in 2006, nginx has taken the world by storm and is now the #2 server for active sites. The reasons for each respective server’s popularity are clear: apache’s power and nginx’s speed are well known. However, both servers do have drawbacks
apache is hard on server memory, while nginx (great at static files) needs the help of php-fpm or similar modules for dynamic content.

However, one can combine the two web servers to great effect, with nginx as static web server front and apache processing the back end.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3'rd Configure nginx & Apache sites-enable ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# touch /etc/nginx/sites-enable/magento

# vi /etc/nginx/sites-enable/magento

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 server {
        listen   80;

        root /var/www/magento;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name latihan.masih-bodoh.com;

        location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

# ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/magento /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/magento

# rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

== Apache ==
 
Change port apache to 81, for avoid same ports with nginx

# vi /etc/httpd.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
