Nginx

NGiNX by all accounts is much more efficient than Apache, so we will probably start changing the OD server, and our server installation procedure over to NGiNX.

Installation

<bash>echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg cat dotdeb.gpg

SSL

First Generate a self signed certificate, then update the relevant server section in the nginx configuration,

listen 80; listen 443 default ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/ssl.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/ssl.key;
