Configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache

This video is about configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache.
In this tutorial we'll configure Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for Apache -- a classical setup for maximizing production web server efficiency. I assume that we are making the setup to the clean server (with no Nginx or Apache installed).

And please, see the downloadable materials tab inside the course for sample config files.

Somebody please help me T_T I've just setted nginx as a reverse caching proxy but when i inspect the network through firefox i see this:

there are two cache headers: x-cache (that sometimes doesn't change to hit and it says at the end "from pe-proxy1")
and also x-cache-status (which is ok always change from miss to hit). Why?

Hi Aleksey,

Question. 1) How much ram and disk space utilize this configuration?
2) VestaCP provides same but may use extra disk and ram space including VestaCP installation, plus LAMP

What do you suggest for 512MB Ram and 1TB transfer?

Thanks and waiting
