Forum: NGINX nginx for images (apache for pages)

I'm serving images and dynamic .html pages via apache on port 80.  I'd
like to have nginx to serve the images.  How can this be done since
both apache and nginx need to serve requests on port 80?

Set apache up as a proxy server for dynamic html behind the nginx
server.

(Or do like I do, and drop apache completely (: ).

Is there a good howto for this?  Is it difficult when dealing with an
ecommerce site?

What a fine little server.  This howto was perfect:

The ecommerce factor was a breeze.  Slightly different SSL certificate 
handling.

I tried some of those but nothing seemed to match my situation as
clearly as the one I used.
