I just noticed that nginx is running on all of my clients ubuntu servers with apache or with litespeed as a reverse proxy while apache and litespeed are running on ports 81 and 444.

 

No one configured this. My clients doesn't know how to do that.

 

This is happening on all of the ubuntu servers I admin, and not on alma servers. It seems ea-nginx was installed on 2025-08-29.

 

Do you know anything about that. I didn't find and doc related to this installation.

  Just to add for the info:

   

  Start-Date: 2025-08-29  05:47:34
  Commandline: /usr/bin/apt-get --assume-no -o Acquire::Retries=3 -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-overwrite install ea-nginx
  Install: ea-nginx:amd64 (1.26.3-15+17.1.cpanel)
  End-Date: 2025-08-29  05:48:09

   

  44 5 * * * (/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fix-cpanel-perl; /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp --cron > /dev/null)

   

  So obviously this is from upcp

  Hey there!  It sounds like you're running into this issue:

  https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/34566619293463-gather-update-log-stats-installs-ea-nginx-when-cpanel-analytics-version-1-4-57-8-8-1-is-installed

  If you have regular updates enabled this should have been automatically fixed, though.  Can you check the version of that analytics package on your server?

  Ok, thanks. Doc say to uninstall ea-nginx once 9.9.1 is installed. So I will.

   

  Thanks again.
