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.
