How do I configure wordpress, apache2 and nginx for maximum speed? I followed this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-web-server-and-reverse-proxy-for-apache-on-one-ubuntu-20-04-server
Unfortunately wordpress only works on port 8080, and Nginx reports a 404 error on port 80.

Hi there,
It sounds like that your Nginx server block might not be correct. You need to define your server_name so it matches your domain name and also you need to make sure that the proxy_pass rule is correctly set to the Apache backend service.
Here is an example:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
# global gzip on
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 10240;
gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml text/javascript application/x-javascript application/xml;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
add_header Cache-Control public;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; # change this
proxy_buffering on;
proxy_buffers 12 12k;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
Also make sure that if you are using your server IP address, to delete the default Nginx server block so that it does not cause any conflicts.
If it is still not working, feel free to share your Nginx server block here.
Best,
Bobby
