Nginx & Varnish & Apache
« on: July 28, 2026, 11:40:01 AM »
I had an issue of nginx not starterting / restarting

I rebuilt webservers with Apache only

Later I rebuilt using Nginx & Varnish & Apache

But in dashboard, I dont see nginx

Also

Quote
# nginx -v
-bash: nginx: command not found

But, if I visit Select webservers option, I see "Nginx & Varnish & Apache" option selected

I see that Igf I stay in this option, many urls like webmail fail to work

There is a bug cant remember where but I know nginx apache varnish is not supported on mine alma 9 also.
I m using apache nginx configuration and worked fine.
I think there is some problems between new version of varnish config which cwp does not support yet.

I too found that "Nginx & Varnish & Apache" does not "work" out of the box on Alma 9.xx (under CWP)

In web server selection it acts like it is configuring but Varnish is missing in action.

If you have a static site Varnish can be a boost, if you have a dynamic site based on WP or Drupal etc., then I would go with redis.

Very true. Varnish is more of an option of last resort to milk the most performance out of a server -- and the config complexity often isn't worth it. Stick with Nginx for the most bang for your buck. And agreed about Redis, but also add in a CDN like Cloudflare to the mix if the server doesn't "feel" fast.
