I thought of creating this Thread as to one of our Sponsor is willing to provide some spec of VPSs to guys who owns tech blogs or websites.

If anyone here owns any tech blogs or websites,then they please comment below with your site link and write a bit about it.

corrida

Has anyone bought FallOut 4? It is one of the most anticipated games this year. I recently bought it, and would give a 9.5/10, the reason is : Since the recent release of Fallout 4, there has been many updates, which is normal, but some bugs and glitches on it were happening many time to me, so I think that's a little problem they should fix.
Other than that, I really do recommend gamers to buy this (I'm pretty sure most of you bought it.)
What are your thoughts on the game?

Hi,

In this post I would like to introduce myself.
I'm a 15-years old boy named Rick. I live in The Netherlands.

Since about 1,5 - 2 years I'm interested in managing VPS'ses and servers. I'm programming a little longer, as my parents told me I made my first website when I were 8/9 years old. And yes, it was whole plain HTML. I can program xHTML, HTML5, PHP(5), Javascript, ofcourse the JQuery library. I do also like making Android applications. And I can write a little Node.JS.

I speak Dutch (my motherlanguage), English and a bit German.

I hope I will have a great time here at Post4VPS.

Kind Regards,
Rick

Hello fellow members of post4vps.com or non-member if you have found my tutorial by using a search engine (thanks for your interest in reverse proxies by the way),

I am going to explain you how to configure nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache. Of course you could use any webserver or even a Node.JS server instead of Apache. The same idea although I don't explain you how to configure that server. Apart from that nginx functions as a reverse proxy it also caches static files to make your website even faster!

Requirements:
- Linux-based server (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, Fedora, etc. most will fit.)
- Sudo-privileges. As you are going to install a software package into Linux's filesystem you will need to have sudo-privileges (login as root does also qualify).
- Actually there isn't really a minimum amount of RAM you need, since most of the VPS'ses provided by VPS providers are backed with enough memory. But I'm sure you are good to go with about 512MB RAM.

Some things I have to mention:
- We use nginx listening on port 80. SSL listens on 443 by default, I don't tell you how to configure SSL here.
- Our backend webserver (Apache) listens on port 8080.
- I based this tutorial on how I did this on Ubuntu. You might need to change some thing to make it work on the OS of your choice. The config files are pretty much the same.

!!!!IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE TRYING OUT MY TUTORIAL!!!!
Unfortunaly I was unable to test this out, it should work, but I am not sure. The code used here is based on the code I use on my production server. Apart from my production server I have no servers so I were unable to test out as I just said. Using this tutorial is fully on your own responsibility / your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage caused by following my tutorial.

Let's begin!

Step 1: Install Apache, our frontend webserver.
This step is basically one of the most easy one I am going to give.

Ubuntu/Debian:

Code:
sudo apt-get install nginx

CentOS, Fedora, SuSE linux, Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise, other RHEL based:

Code:
sudo yum install nginx

FreeBSD:

Code:
sudo pkg install nginx

sudo sysrc nginx_enable=yes

sudo service nginx start

I hope I don't have to explain any of these commands any further. I think you will understand what they will do.

Step 2: Configure nginx.
Create a new nginx site configuration file.

Code:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/reverseproxy

Of course you can use any editor you like like, vi, nano, vim, etc.

First, open up your nginx site's configuration file.
We start by making the file look like this:

Code:
server {

    listen      80;

    server_name post4vps.com www.post4vps.com;

}

Of course, you should change post4vps.com to your own domainname

In that file you will make the following changes:

- Add "location /" to catch every request. In this block we are going to determine whether the request is for an static file or an dynamic file. When it's not an static file, we pass the request to the proxy server (Apache).
In the following scenario, static files are files with the following extensions:
Images: jpeg, jpg, png, gif, bmp, ico, svg, tif, tiff
Web assets: css, js
HTML documents: htm, html
The others: ttf, otf, webp, woff, txt, csv, rtf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odf, odp, ods, odt, pdf

Code:
location / {

    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

    location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf$

        root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;

        expires        max;

        try_files      $uri @fallback;

    }

}

- Change root to the correct directory. Since the Apache webserver - which we will be going to use for our backend webserver - uses /var/www/html/ we're going to change the root directory to that location.

Code:
location / {

    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

    location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf$

        root           /var/www/html/;

        expires        max;

        try_files      $uri @fallback;

    }

}

- You've might already have seen it, in above blocks, we have a @fallback, let's create that "location".
What this block is, every file nginx couldn't provide you will "fallback" on this block, and so it will be proxied to our Apache webserver, which on it's turn will try to solve your request.

Code:
location @fallback {

    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

}

- Last but not least, we will add some blocks to deny access to some folders.

Code:
location ~ /\.ht    {return 404;}

location ~ /\.svn/  {return 404;}

location ~ /\.git/  {return 404;}

location ~ /\.hg/   {return 404;}

location ~ /\.bzr/  {return 404;}

After making all these changes, your site's configuration will look like this.

Code:
server {

    listen      80;

    server_name post4vps.com www.post4vps.com;

    location / {

        proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

        location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|tif|tiff|css|js|htm|html|ttf|otf|webp|woff|txt|csv|rtf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|odf|odp|ods|odt|pdf$

            root           /usr/share/nginx/html/;

            expires        max;

            try_files      $uri @fallback;

        }

    }

    location @fallback {

        proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

    }

    location ~ /\.ht    {return 404;}

    location ~ /\.svn/  {return 404;}

    location ~ /\.git/  {return 404;}

    location ~ /\.hg/   {return 404;}

    location ~ /\.bzr/  {return 404;}

}

Save this file and quit the editor.
Using nano:
Ctrl+O to save, Ctrl+X to quit.

Using vi / vim:
:wq (write, quit) to save the file and then quit the editor.

Step 3: Activate the virtual host file.

We activate the virtual host file using the following command:

Code:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/reverseproxy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/reverseproxy

When you've changed the file name in the previous step, also change it here.

Remove the default nginx server block to avoid conflicts.

Code:
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Restart nginx to make the new server block work.

Code:
sudo service nginx restart

Step 4: Install Apache, our backend webserver.
This step is one of the most easy one I am going to give.

Ubuntu/Debian:

Code:
sudo apt-get install apache2

CentOS, Fedora, SuSE linux, Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise, other RHEL based:

Code:
sudo yum install httpd

FreeBSD:

Code:
sudo pkg install apache24

sudo sysrc apache24_enable=yes

sudo service apache24 start

As I've also said at the first step of this tutorial, I hope I don't have to explain any of these commands any further. I think you will understand what they will do.

Step 5: Let Apache listen on 8080 instead of the default port 80.
Open up /etc/apache2/ports.conf or /etc/httpd/ports.conf (according to your OS) in your favorite editor.

Change Listen 80 to Listen 8080.

Then we are going to make a copy of the default VirtualHost.

Code:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default /etc/apache2/sites-available/reverseproxy

You might need to replace "apache2" with "httpd", according to your OS. Make it fit your needs eitherway, I based this tutorial on Ubuntu.

Enable the virtualhost

Code:
sudo a2ensite reverseproxy

Restart Apache to make your virtual host take effect.

Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You might need to replace "apache2" with "httpd", according to your OS.

In that file change port 80 to 8080.

For example:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>

will become

Code:
<VirtualHost *:8080>

Then you might want to install PHP to Apache. There are plenty of tutorials to do that, so don't be lazy and just look it up by yourself.

To test whether your reverse proxy works just well, put the following into /var/www/html/info.php

Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then go to http://DOMAIN/info.php or http://IP/info.php

If you get a page that looks like this, you are good to go!

There are many search engines on the internet that we don't know about. They are not being used by many people but getting traffic in smaller search engines is easier than in bigger search engines.

Here is a list of search engines that I know:

Google
Bing
DuckDuckGo
Yandex
Baidu
Yahoo
Sogou
Qwant

I haven been trying to install Virtualmin for a week now. But It's been first time I use it and Already having few problems.

01) First I tried to installed with CentOS 6.7. Installation was fine and everything works but I need mysql 5.5 for several projects so when I tried to find a way to upgrade I kinda hit a brick wall. I was told in Support forum that there is noway to get this done since Virtualmin since it uses what comes with OS. Only way to get it sorted is using a OS which already has Mysql 5.5. I was told to try CentOS 7.

So anyone here has found a way to upgrade mysql ?
If not which Linux OS/versions comes with mysql 5.5 ?

So then I found Ubuntu 14.10 has Mysql 5.5. Since Ubuntu has a nice Desktop version to I thought it's better learning. Now I have installed Virtualmin in this but again having trouble. Now I have 2 sets of problem when I run Check Configaration.

I'm getting Postfix problems about hostname. Looks like it's a common in Postfix version comes with Ubuntu 14.10. anyone got this problem and had it sorted ?
Also mailman service seems refuse to start.
