I'm looking for a guide, tutorial or advices to just have an nginx webserver working on windows configured with localhost site which can run perl scripts.
I know how to do it with Apache so, please do not answer that. Already got an Apache 2.4 running aside with IIS, properly configured tu run perl-cgi scripts. I'm looking for the nginx solution.
Thanks
The historical answer is to setup a proxy to apache from the nginx side. I would personally prefer a solution based on FCGI

i need to have a webserver in an app-v container.
I could not find examples how to sequence and configure a webserver with app-v.
Are there examples available for sequencing e.g. nodejs or even .net core webserver kestrel?
Thank you for the help.

Never seen a web server packaged with app-v, but I've used app-v seldom, so I may be wrong.
Solutions like Docker are much more suitable for web apps virtualization.
I have a VPS (Ubuntu 14.04) with Apache2, Swift 3.1.1 and Vapor installed. I want to receive client side requests to my Vapor-Built-Service via HTTPS protocol (on port 8443 for example). I didn't find any newbie helper document to do this, so please help me.
Thanks.
After a lot of searching I found the answer:
1. You need to install Apache or Nginx on your VPS. Here I assume that the reader uses Apache. But for more info on installing Apache server on Ubuntu 14.04 you can take a look at here.
2. The next thing you need to do is to make Apache work with SSL (or HTTPS protocol). You can find a complete guide here.
3. Now it's time to set the Apache server as a reverse proxy server. You can find a good guide to do that here and here. don't forget to put the reverse-proxy-config-code at port 443 related part.
Update:
There is also another way which you can configure the Vapor directly. Take a look at here.
I already know enough about the Apache HTTP Server, but what are the other most popular web server types? And where I can get the programs and documentation on how to set them up?
that depends on which OS you are using.
in Linux the apache http in all his forms ( tomcat/catalina/httpd ) is the most common , afterwards the nginx is also quite common.
I am less familiar with windows but I think IIS is the most common in windows.
I was just trying to use Template::Toolkit perl module on my centos to generate dynamic web content. This tutorial, and the one given on cpan site, is made to bind mod_perl with Apache. I'm using nginx on my centos. i tried allot, but I'm less into server things, so failed each time. Can anyone help me to integrate mod_perl with nginx? Or is there any alternative for this?
mod_perl is an Apache module. It cannot be used with nginx.
To use Template::Toolkit with nginx, you will need to implement a web application some other way. Probably the most straightforward way of doing this will be to write it as a Plack application; this will allow it to be run as a HTTP or FastCGI server that nginx can proxy requests to.
I have a vps with Debian 6.0.5, installed with Nginx + PHP5-FPM using package from dotdeb using a setup script introduced by a blog. Everything works like charm for my wordpress and phpmyadmin.
Now, I wanted to install beanstalkd into the vps, and decided to use some PHP web app to manage beanstalkd. I've installed phpBeanstalkdAdmin and Beanstalkd console. Both failed to run properly.
phpBeanstalkdAdmin returns a page like
phpBeanstalkdAdmin
Home
About
layout()->content?>
Beanstalkd console displayed an empty tube once server is configured. Before that, the error message is also missing.
When I install both in my local machine running XAMPP, which is Apache + PHP5, and point the configuration to my vps' beanstalkd, it works. Further more, before configuration Beanstalkd console would display proper error message unlike when running on Nginx + PHP5-FPM.
I've tried to use XDebug and didn't find any error or anything wrong when stepping through both web app. Both web app utilizing Zend Framework. I didn't find any specific setup which is required to run Zend Framework on Nginx + PHP5-FPM, and have tried various addition of the basic configuration such as fixing Path_Info & PHP_SELF
I would really love to use Nginx instead of Apache for my vps as I have a small box.
Any insight or guide on this issue is much appreciated.
Check the value of PHP's short_open_tag on both (should be listed in phpinfo). My guess is you need to turn it on for your VPS.
