Install Nginx on cPanel

Here is a excellent tutorial show you how to Install Nginx on cPanel:

The bright people over at http://www.nginxcp.com have come up with a wonderful little tool for working with Nginx. It integrates a admin panel into WHM so you can stop and restart Nginx, recreate the vhost config, view the Nginx Logs and check apache.

Also it autoconfigures WHM and Apache for use with Nginx by changing apache from listening on port 80 to port 8081.

For those who don’t know what Nginx is its a caching proxy that will cache static content such as images and html files and serves them up without having to access Apache for the content thus improving speed, memory usage and processor overhead. All dynamic content such as php, java and video are proxied to Apache for processing.

So if you have a site that is slow you might benefit from Nginx serving up all the static content and only using Apache to process the php files..
