Upgrade Nginx

Hello,

I'm a new member here and a new CWP user. So far I am quite satisfied using CWP to decide to become a Pro version user.

A little question, does CWP allow users to upgrade the webserver independently? I see that the version of Nginx I am using is still version 1.14. While the latest version is now at version 1.19.

Thanks.

Hi, you can update nginx manually.
Apache must be update via CWP only.

How to do it? I mean how can update NGINX manually for CWP Pro?

Sandeep has a tutorial here:

Also consider hardening Nginx with the instructions here:

Thanks for quick reply, but I did it in a different way for my all server & found all of them working fine. I followed few tutorials from google & combine them:

Update CWP Nginx to latest stable version:

1. Go to CWP admin ---> Server Settings--->Yum Manager--->nginx.repo & replace with below code & save:

[nginx-stable]
name=nginx stable repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

2. Login as root via SSH & run below code:

yum update -y

3. Now you can give Nginx a restart, if don't found any error then you are & you can check your Nginx
version by below command:
nginx -v

4. If you found error while restarting Nginx then rebuild CWP Web Servers with Nginx & it's done, no error anymore, this
time CWP will build webserver with latest Nginx version.
