This tutorial continues from previous one

Configuring NGINX for virtualmin is a bit tricky part. Just follow the below steps to setup it correctly.

 

Procedure:

1. Login in webmin panel as root.

2. From the left side menu, navigate to Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Features and Plugins

3. You need to disable (deselect) all the following features which are dependent on Apache.

First, disable/deselect these modules

Webalizer reporting 
SSL website 
AWstats reporting 
DAV Login (if existed) 
mailman 
Protected web directories

4. Click save.

5. Again go to Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Features and Plugins, uncheck the box "Apache Website" & click save.

6. Again go to Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Features and Plugins, check the box "Nginx website" & click save.

Verifying that Nginx module works perfectly:

1. Click the "Refresh system information" link at the top of the page

2. Expand the "Status" section link towards the bottom of the page and you should see that "Nginx Webserver" is listed as a service which is managed by Virtualmin.
