Is it possible to install MAX2PLAY on NGINX instead of APACHE2.

Nginx is faster at serving static files and consumes much less memory for concurrent requests.

Hi L-J Silver,
With Max2Play, the requests and workload of apache is marginal. Thus we have not yet considered using another server software. However, NGINX should work with Max2Play without any problems. We will investigate its merits and report whether or not an implementation or an option for the software would be feasible.

Hi Silver,

you may test nginx by installing it with

apt-get install php5-fpm nginx -y

using this config file for Max2Play:

server {
	listen   81; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
	#listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

	root /var/www/max2play/public;
	index index.php;

	location / {
        error_page  404 = /index.php?q=$uri;
        log_not_found  off;
    }
	
	location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        root /var/www/max2play/public;
    }        

	# Rewrite rule
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 last;
    }

	# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
    location ~ \.php$ {
		fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/max2play/public$fastcgi_script_name;
		include fastcgi_params;
    }

	# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
	# concurs with nginx's one
	location ~ /\.ht {
		deny all;
	}
}

Open the web interface with http://max2play:81 – the original apache web server is still running on Port 80. We did not test this yet – there may be some problems on nginx…

# Stop Apache First if running

# Install NGINX and Packages for PHP 7
apt-get install php-fpm php-simplexml nginx -y

# Use Upgraded NGINX Max2Play File with new PHP 7 Socket

server {
	listen   81; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
	#listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

	root /var/www/max2play/public;
