Install NGINX on Apache LAMP Server with SSL
NginX is 20x faster than apache. Lets take our ubuntu 10.10 rackspace server that is already running LAMP, and install NginX on it. Lets also make sure our SSL still works.
NOTES:
If you already have apache and mysql. You DO NOT NEED THE MYSQL PART.
You also don't have to do the www2 www thing. You can just leave that lone.
