Do I need nginx?

[ag1234456789]

I am not sure what is nginx used for in VestaCP. I installed just the apache version and nginx was still installed it seems...and the weird thing is sometimes the control panel goes down and shows me a 500 error nginx default document...My question is, do I really need nginx? Sorry, if this is a daft question!

I recommend you use nginx+php-fpm without apache.

You can disable nginx in the settings of your web domain section
However, one can combine the two web servers to great effect, with nginx as static web server front and apache processing the back end.

Anyway, in this case Nginx still stay on 80 port as proxy.
