How do I set up Nginx on my server using Plesk?

Nginx is a high-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy, and IMAP/POP3 proxy server.

It is assumed that you are using Plesk as a Service Provider.  If you are using Plesk as a Power User, switch to Service Provider:

1. Go to the 'Server' tab
2. Go to 'Interface Management'
3. Go to 'Panel Appearance'
4. Click 'Service Provider'
5. Click 'OK'
6. You will now be in Service Provider mode

To install Nginx on your server:

1. Click 'Tools & Settings' under 'Server Management' in the left-hand menu
2. Click on 'Updates and Upgrades' in the 'Panel' section
3. If you get an SSL warning from your browser, add an exception for it and continue
4. Click 'Add Components'
5. Tick the box next to 'Nginx Reverse Proxy Support'
6. Click 'Continue'
7. Once Nginx has been installed, click on 'Tools & Settings'
8. Click 'Services Management' under 'Server Management'
9. Click on the 'Play' icon to start Nginx
