how to install solr with nginx on ubuntu 12.04 - nginx

I downloaded solr-4.7.0.tgz. Extracted it in /opt/solr. I have nginx. So can anyone guide me the steps to configure solr with nginx. OS is ubuntu 12.04. Also how to configure solr.xml and where to keep it in nginx environment.

Solr is self contained, and already includes a web server (Jetty). Once Solr is running, the only use for Nginx with Solr is to use it as a front-end proxy, e.g. for access control purposes.

How to upgrade nginx to latest on Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03?

I have an Elastic Beanstalk web application using Amazon Linux AMI that requires the latest build of nginx. The nginx build that comes with AMI version 2018.03 is version 1.12.1, whereas the latest stable build on nginx.org is 1.15.4. Only 1.12.1 is available from Amazon's yum repositories. The preferred strategy we would like to use would be to create a custom RPM and pull that from an endpoint and install. How would I go about creating a custom RPM of nginx that would run on Amazon Linux? Or is there a pre-built source that I could take advantage of?
It turns out the best way to do this is to create a custom AMI. You can find instructions on how to create a custom AMI here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.customenv.html
And how to install from source here:
How to install nginx 1.9.15 on amazon linux disto
If you want to swap out a running instance try here:
https://www.photographerstechsupport.com/tutorials/upgrade-running-nginx-amazon-linux/
I personally got it working with a mix of the code from those two sources. I also had to yum install gcc to get make to work, and had to manually add the folder /var/cache/nginx before the nginx service would work. Happy upgrading!

Install Extensible Service Proxy on GCE/RHEL7

Quickstart for Endpoints on Compute Engine says
you need to run the Extensible Service Proxy before sending requests
to the API
But it also says
This quickstart works only on Debian. Make sure you create a VM that
runs Debian.
I have an existing GCE VM instance running Red Hat EL 7 that I'm adding this Endpoint to. Where are instructions for installing and running Extensible Service Proxy on it?
FWIW I examined the contents of the Debian package. It appears to be just nginx with custom configs and some extra scripts. If there's no RPM or other way of installing ESP on RHEL7, can I just manually install the contents extracted from the .deb package?
Yes, it should work (not tested). nginx in the .deb package is a statically compiled binary with a custom module that runs fine standalone. Please make sure to place the remaining files (config templates, root CA certificates, start-up script) in the same directories as in the .deb package.
The instructions for installing the ESP are implied in the instructions for installing the Cloud SDK on Red Hat and CentOS, since the endpoints-runtime RPM is available from the same repo as is the SDK.
$ sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud-sdk.repo << EOM
[google-cloud-sdk]
name=Google Cloud SDK
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/cloud-sdk-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg
https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOM
$
$ sudo yum install google-cloud-sdk
Note that the ESP installs as nginx, with supporting scripts and config files, that will replace any existing nginx and any files with the same name, which will overwrite any existing nginx functionality (like proxy, cache etc). It might be best to archive any host-specific nginx configs first, then install ESP, then merge old configs into the new ones installed by yum.

Installation issues with openresty

My machine has Mac os. In this I have nginx 1.6.x. I initially installed with Homebrew.
I am trying to run a project which in production uses openresty (as it has lua 3rd party modules)
My confusion is regarding which one to install.
Do I need to completely remove nginx and install openresty, as it's documentation says it's a bundle of components,i.e. it will contain nginx?
or
Install new version of nginx with lua 3rd party modules and then install openresty too.
Sorry if there is a or too many typo in my question.
A good link will be helpful as I think I have confused myself enough.
Thanks in Advance.
Openresty is nginx bundled with lua and other 3rd party modules, so having both of them installed on your computer may lead to trouble, for example:
This case can happen if you try to run both of them at the same time: Your nginx conf file can have a server block listening to a port while your openresty also have a server block listening to that block. If nginx is already running, openresty won't be able to run, since the port is already bound.
I installed openresty with a previous installation of nginx and ran into some problems, so i would advise you to save relevant configuration and data from your nginx instalation and removing it.
Installing openresty seems better since besides installing nginx, it will install lua modules and a few more as it is listed on their github.https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module
I don't know how your project is going, but i would suggest moving using openresty, since it will save potential trouble.

how can i install SVN(subversion) and integrate with httpd (apache) in centos6

I am using CentOS release 6.4 (final) which has httpd (Apache) installed by default. Recently I installed Subversion using #yum install subversion and now I need to integrate SVN with Apache. Can anyone help me with this?
Have a look at Collabnet Subversion Edge. From that page:
Free fully-automated installer/updater for software stacks of Subversion, Apache, and ViewVC fronted by a powerful web console for administration and server health check monitoring.

Forbidden message when serving a sinatra local site using nginx passenger

I've followed the instructions for installing phusion passenger with nginx in ubuntu. I had some issues while installing since I use rvm and I had to install as root and the installer was failing to find rake so i temporarily chmoded /opt to be owned by my user and after installation I resetted ownership to root. I can see nginx welcome page but when I try to visit a sinatra app I get forbidden, the virtual host is pointed to the sinatra app public dir and the permissions for the whole app are 777.
Try Passenger 3. It automatically detects most permission problems and tells you how to fix them.
If this is for a production system, you really don't need the flexibility of RVM as you should be using a single stable version of Ruby and Rails for Phusion. Install the version you need, using Aptitude if that version is available, and be done with it.
Because this is the page that Google brought me to for my issue, which isn't a Passenger issue, but a Nginx reverse-proxy issue, you need to add the line
disable :protection
somewhere in your sinatra app. I have mine at the very end, outside any method (in global scope).
Well my mistake was not using rvmsudo to install nginx with passenger, instructions here: http://rvm.io/integration/passenger/.
