Hii,  
I am running several sites at dedicated server. Earlier i was using  
apache only, but now i’ve change it to nginx and now i’m using nginx  
with apache.

But after installing inginx, my one site is working properly, but rest  
all five sites picking the same data of one site.

I’ve configured apache to port 8080 and Nginx to port 80.

Please Suggest what needs to be done.

Hi

How have you configured virtual servers in nginx? You have to configure  
each domain to go to its content, if you haven’t it wouldn’t work. Could  
you post the part of your config dealing with this?

You say you’re using both apache and nginx. But do they work together or  
you just want to have them side by side in order to compare them? In  
other workds, does nginx act as a proxy to apache or it works on its  
own?

unless there’s another server block in /etc/nginx/conf.d/\*.conf, then  
surely it’ll show same page for any domain.

Hi

> Below is the config details

Doesn’t look bad to me. Anyway:

> server {  
> listen 80;  
> server\_name YOURSERVERNAME;

You need real server names here, I guess you know that and you’re just  
hiding your server name, just like below with “myip”.

The whole server block is like a block in Apache, and  
server\_name is the list of ServerName and ServerAlias for that vhost.  
You can either replicate the server section for each vhost with  
different server names and different options, or use a generic config  
with server\_name wildcards like “server\_name \_;” as per:

If you only have one name on server\_name, I guess nginx would only serve  
that domain.

> proxy\_pass [http://myip:8080/](http://myip:8080/);  
> proxy\_redirect off;  
> proxy\_set\_header Host $host;

This looks ok, you’re correctly setting the Host header so that nginx  
passes it to Apache.

I assume you’ve tested Apache and it’s working OK for every domain. One  
thing you can test is sniffing some traffic between nginx and Apache  
with tcpdump and make sure nginx is setting the correct Host header and  
Apache is returning the proper content. Anyway that part of the config  
looks ok.

Hope that helps.
