Since I haven't really seen anything relating to installing JR on NGINX I wanted to create a post to see if JR was able to be installed on NGINX.

I totally realize the Apache is king... for now. But NGINX is really rising fast and IMHO is an amazing piece of software.

Yeah - JR5 will run on Nginx, I just haven't had time yet to translate the rewrite rules so they work on Nginx. It's on my to-do though.

Honestly, I would really love to see JR and NGINX together. It would also be great to have a guide for setting up a NGINX server. I created a guide how to setup NGINX but it needs some tweaking.

NGINX with PHP-FPM and JR I think would be a winning combo!

Yep - I agree and know how to set it all up, so we'll eventually have a guide for that.

I think the biggest hurdle would be the control panel. Not many people want to run a server straight up. Most want to use cPanel. I have to admit cPanel does make things a lot easier.

I know IPSconfig supports NGINX... actually I believe it's one of the only panels that does. I know cPanel has a plugin, but I think that's not the combo that is the best.

Taking things a step further, if the JR team made a lightweight NGINX control panel for JR that the average user could use to manage the server, you could probably make some nice $$. I know I would use it. Managing servers is hard. Keeping up with all the updates, etc is another layer on top of managing my sites.
