Introduction

This article outlines how to install the cPanel-provided NGINX with reverse proxy.

 

Procedure

To install NGINX with reverse proxy, log in to WHM as the root user and visit the NGINX Manager interface at WHM >> Home >> Software >> NGINX Manager.

Alternatively, you can install it through EasyApache 4 or with the following command via SSH:

yum install ea-nginx

Once installed, NGINX will change Apache's configuration to use alternate ports while placing NGINX on ports 80 and 443. 

Caching will be enabled by default.
