Setup permalilnk in nginx



Permalink:

Permalink is a permanent URL of each post or page. It is mostly used in WordPress CMS. It helps to identify each post/page by just seeing its URL. A good permalink not only helps the visitor to understand the page/post but also good for search engine optimization. Selecting a good permalink regarding a post is good practice. This is very useful when you are blogging. It is also a good idea to use individual permalink for every posts regarding their titles. Permalink needs .htaccess file to work perfectly. However, in NGINX, you have to do some additional tweaks so that permalink works without any possible error, specially for WordPress blog. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to setup permalink properly for WordPress in NGINX webserver.

Setup HTTP proxy in NGINX



Proxy:

Proxy as well as proxy server is a computer network which sits between user and internet. When user requests for a website, proxy server intercepts each request and return the request through proxy server. In that way, you are hiding your identity from the whole world because by using proxy, you are actually hiding your real IP address.

Fix: Webmin acessing issue

Sometimes, accessing webmin with your vps ip & port (https://<your-vps-ip>:10000) doesn't work because of your ISP. Your ISP has blocked 10000 port for a reason that's why 
 you can not access in your webmin control panel. You can fix this problem in two ways. You can tell your ISP to unblock port 10000 or just change this port to another. I think the second option is way better. To change webmin port to another, simply follow the below steps.
