Do we need nginx and apache coexist in default installation.

[sauvegardezvous99]

hello,

since I've installed VestaCP on CentOS6.5, I saw that nginx and apache are up and running.

Is it an error or Vesta needs both to run fine ?
I have no problem to let them coexists, but why, in that case, propose that link:
http://vestacp.com/docs/#how-to-remove- ... hel-centos ?

thank you
regards,

Hi!

nginx receives the :80 requests and then passing them to :8080 to Apache, you can set up nginx to cache resources. It's a reverse proxy.

You can remove it from the chain with the instructions on the Documentation page if you would like to.

no, I don't need to remove it instead I want understand how that works.

does that way is for performance or security ?
