How to build nginx_apache DirectAdmin

If you want to set up a web server stack that combines Nginx and Apache for serving web content, with DirectAdmin as the control panel to manage hosting tasks, you are in the right place.

1. To begin with, start with a clean Linux server and ensure that it’s up to date with the latest security patches and packages.
2. Then, install Nginx as the front-end web server.
3. After that, configure Nginx to handle incoming HTTP requests and proxy them to Apache for processing dynamic content.
4. Next, we have to install Apache as the back-end web server. Additionally, configure it to serve dynamic content and work alongside Nginx. We will also need to customize the Apache configuration to work with DirectAdmin.
5. Then, install DirectAdmin. This includes running a script provided by the DirectAdmin team. In other words, this script will set up the control panel on our server.
6. Now, configure DirectAdmin to work with both Nginx and Apache.
7. Next, set up virtual hosts in DirectAdmin. We can specify whether a website should use Nginx or Apache as its web server, based on our requirements.
8. Then, set up security measures like firewall rules, SSL certificates, and access controls to protect our server and websites.
9. Now, it is time to test the setup to ensure that Nginx, Apache, and DirectAdmin work together.
