Name | Description |

Type | Select "NGINX" here. |
Server name | Enter the server name (or hostname) that should be used to access the portal in the browser.
For example: "portal.example.org" The server name (or hostname) entered here needs to be defined as part of the base URL in the portal properties. |
Back-end host | "Back-end host" refers to the embedded Tomcat. NGINX connects to the Intrexx portal service via the back-end host.
Typically, "localhost" should be entered here. (One exception to this is when NGINX is installed on a different server to Intrexx.) |
Back-end port | The port that you used in Intrexx 18.03 will be shown here. You can leave this port as it is.
Please note: The port 1337 is predefined for a new installation. |
Write configuration to file | If you activate the checkbox here, you can generate the NGINX configuration file with Intrexx.
In this case, Intrexx takes the information in the "Server name", "Back-end host" and "Back-end port" fields and writes them to the NGINX configuration file. Enter the path to the directory that the NGINX configuration file should be generated in. Example: "/myfolder/portal.example.org.conf" Afterwards, copy and link the NGINX configuration file to the desired folder within "/etc/nginx". Example: "/etc/nginx/sites-available/ portal.example.org.conf" |
Move the configuration file to the "sites-available" directory.
Please note: Depending on the Linux distribution and the selected installation package, the "sites-available" directory may not be available in some cases. If this is the case, please find out how the configuration file needs to be implemented for your Linux distribution.
Create a symbolic link from sites-enabled to the sites-available file. Use the full paths when doing this.
Please note: When using symbolic links, you should make sure that these are created directly in the desired directory.
Example: "ln–s /etc/nginx/sites-available/host.example.org.conf"
Restart NGINX.
