Question

How to make a website be processed only by Apache when nginx is enabled on the server?

Answer

Note: After applying this solution, the website will still be shown as served by nginx in a web-browser. This is due to the fact that nginx is working as the front-end proxy. The website will be processed by Apache in fact.

  1. Log in to Plesk.

  2. Go to Domains > example.com > PHP settings.

  3. Switch domain PHP handler to FPM application served by Apache or FastCGI application served by Apache.

  4. Apply the changes.

  5. Then go to Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings.

  6. Enable Proxy mode and disable Smart static files processing and Serve static files directly by nginx.

  7. Apply the changes.

    What if PHP support is unchecked (turned off) for the subscription in question?  Must I enable PHP support in order to make the website processed only by Apache?
