Question

How to switch a domain to nginx-only hosting (without Apache) in Plesk?

Answer

Notes:

This functionality is available starting from Plesk Onyx with the nginx reverse proxy component enabled.

Plesk services (for example, Webmail) continue working using Apache and are not affected by switching to nginx-only hosting.

After switching a domain to nginx-only hosting, make sure it is working with nginx. For WordPress websites it is required to add additional nginx directives. For more information, visit this KB article.

Switching on nginx-only hosting for a domain

In Plesk, go to Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings.
In the nginx settings section, disable the Proxy mode setting.
Apply the changes.

Switching on nginx-only hosting for all new domains under a service plan

In Plesk, go to Service Plans > Example Plan > Web Server tab.
In the nginx settings section, disable the Proxy mode setting.
Click Update & Sync.

There is no `nginx settings section` in my Plesk under Websites & Domains > Apache & nginx Settings!
Where can I configure this?

Thanks,

Hello Muhammad Altabba

Most probably, the Nginx isn't installed on the server.

Make sure it's installed as described here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213944825-How-to-install-and-enable-nginx-reverse-proxy-on-a-Plesk-for-Linux-server
