Installing Nginx on DirectAdmin

By default, DirectAdmin is deployed with the Apache web server. Converting this (including current websites) to Nginx can be done using its CustomBuild tool. After completing this guide, you will have a DirectAdmin server featuring an Nginx reverse proxy as its web server.

Step 1: Altering the CustomBuild configuration

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set php1_mode php-fpm
./build set php2_mode php-fpm
./build set php1_release 7.0
./build set php2_release 5.6
./build php n
./build set webserver nginx_apache
./build update
./build all d
./build rewrite_confs

Nginx will now be installed.
