Title: Upgrade Nginx
Post by: anditasb on November 28, 2020, 08:43:16 AM

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.

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.

This will update nginx that runs CWP or the webserver?

Webserver. CWP runs under Apache.

Thanks for clarifying.
