Reviews: Nginx HTTP Server (1)
“Nginx and Webserver Introduction”
(Paperback)
Nginx HTTP Server was such an amazing read I can’t stop singing it’s praises. This book is a must read for any and all perspective users of Linux based web servers not just Nginx.
The introduction of this book gives you a bit of background on Linux server administration although it does not go into details. After reading this you will know enough to run a Linux server with no problems. It moves on giving you as much detail as possible for the installation process and getting it set up for basic use.
The book covers everything you need to know about the http and other modules you might want to use from SSI to ssl and others.
The later chapters cover all the information you might need when setting up a web server to use Fast-CGI with PHP or python. It even covers a small section of setting up Nginx to work with Django.
The final chapters cover the use of Apache and Nginx together if you are used to a current Apache architecture and you feel you are more comfortable with it.
Even the appendices have great information in them, giving you a nice and complete summery of all the directives and modules for reference and even a troubleshooting section.
In all I can recommend this book to anyone that is planning on managing a web server and I would say this is a must read for anyone that is looking into managing a high traffic site or are looking to upgrade a current high traffic site.
