Hi,
I'm having a problem with my configuration. I have Centos 7 install with Nginx, Apache and Virtualmin. I'm trying to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache. Nginx is configured to listen to port 80 and 443 for SSL.
I have added the following in the file : /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
and I have added the following in the file : /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
and
DocumentRoot "/usr/share/nginx/html/"
This is the output of "service httpd status" :

and the output of "netstat -plutn | grep 443" is

What did I did wrong? Please help.
Problem solved.
There is a default configuration in Virtualmin for Apache to listen to port 443 and 80. Removed 443 and changed 80 to 8080 solved it.
