Confused about CumulusMX and web server on same Raspberry Pi

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Why both nginx and Apache?.

Two web servers sounds like a recipe for a problem at some point down the line.

I was testing them out independently. NginX is reportedly lighter and a bit faster than Apache.

Note sudo apt-get remove nginx leaves data behind whereas sudo apt-get purge nginx gets rid of everything

Thanks

I run NginX on my Pi's, they are old models though, so they something lightweight.

I believe this is true for all Debian apps.

Hi guys,

Took a while but I've got MX running on the Pi3 with local webserver (http://ngaioweather.ddns.net)

Key things to note:
1. Read the MX and announcements page (https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12908)
2. Read the website set up instructions page (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Simple_Web ... Cumulus_MX)
3. Read the standard templates page (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Customised ... _Templates)
4. Check the permissions of /var/www/html folders and files

See attachments below for detail

Cheers

Dan
