I need to use nginx on the CyberPanel

Support and Discussion Web Server

Hi, I want to use Cyberpanel to host my wordpress site and peertube. I wonder if I can install Nginx on this server, which also runs Cyberpanel?

I am new to set up servers. I search Cyberpanel docs as well as this forum. Haven’t find any related topics.

I tried to install nginx, but it failed:

sudo systemctl status nginx

you must configure nginx to a different port than 80 and reverse proxy litespeed/ols to nginx port

Thanks for your tips.

Other than configure a different port, what else do I need to do? Do I need to do anything for the peertube, the website use Nginx?

Yes, your website uses nginx as backend and ols as frontend

I searched online about how to

It almost all mentioned:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
…

But when I run ‘vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf’

There is no such line in this file.

#mail {

# See sample authentication script at:

# Using a PHP Script on an Apache Server as the IMAP Auth Backend | NGINX

# auth_http localhost/auth.php;

# pop3_capabilities “TOP” “USER”;

# imap_capabilities “IMAP4rev1” “UIDPLUS”;

server {

listen localhost:110;

protocol pop3;

proxy on;

}

server {

listen localhost:143;

protocol imap;

proxy on;

}

#}

Do I simply add those lines in?

I am really new to self-hosting. Can anyone please tell me how can I config Nginx on CyberPanel?

Thanks in advance.

probably your nginx installation created a default host in another configuration file,

normally nginx do includes like conf.d/* or sites-enabled/*.conf
normally nginx for default creates default host at port 80 named default or default.conf in included directories,
if you erase that should work or you’re closer, main.conf is just an entrypoint of nginx configuration,

i asume that but when have trouble like that paste all the config directory or information you can provide please with credentials or sensible information erased or completly changed if have to not imagine things that can be changed depending in distribution, version or because you like another name for reason x, or try in local environment if someone need to help you, this is not a complete nginx.conf,

you can do nginx -T | grep "listen" | grep "80" at the command line to print all the configuration of nginx with included files and search if anything is calling port 80 binding
