Issues installing Prosper202 onto Nginx with Digital Ocean VPS (13)

---

I've installed prosper202 onto my vps, but I cannot see the prosper202 installation page on my browser. It keeps taking me to my Nginx welcome page. Any ideas?

Thanks,

George

Gonna need more details... did you change the 202-config-sample.php and rename it to 202-config.php ? Did you fill out 202-config.php with the database details?

---

Sorry, i am new to linux and doing the server admin work, so I am not quite sure. I just renamed the 202-config-sample.php to 202-config.php, but it is still being sent to my Nginx welcome page. I opened the 202-config.php and entered in my database details, but I am not sure how to open it in my browser. The tutorials say that I should be able to just type in my domain and I should be able to go to the login page. I've tried the domain.com, domain.com/prosper202, domain.com/202-config.php and several other sub-domains, but I still just get that welcome page. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I'm using Digital Ocean and I installed Ubuntu Desktop with Apache2, MySQL and PHP - works like a charm. My advice is to keep things simple. Don't get bogged down with to much technicality.

---

That sounds more like your domain isn't set up properly - have you set up your domain nameservers at your registrar? Added the domain as an addon domain in cPanel for instance?

---

Also, very obvious question but it's worth asking - have you checked you've uploaded Prosper into the right directory? Different compilations of nginx use different root directories, although the default is /usr/local/nginx/html/

If you're struggling with this and don't have Linux experience, it might be worth just getting a Beyond Hosting starter VPS for now - that way you can get on with learning AM rather than learning sysadmin skills. However, if you choose to persevere with setting your own server up, I'm very happy to help!

Most likely what caurman said.

I've been running a few t202 ClickServers on nginx and aws. It's def able to handle more concurrent requests per second.

---

Thanks everyone for the help, I finally got it installed on one of my domains. I have 3 registered domains, and I have to work on getting it installed on my other domains, but for now, I'm just going to run ads off the domain that is working. As some of you have said, I should focus more on AM on less on sysadmin.

After spending the weekend reading through forums and trying to resolve this issue, my solution was a gig I found on fiverr from someone offering to install it for me. That worked.

@Mr Baffoe - interesting!

I've actually been getting a bit skeptical about nginx recently: I've seen some test results showing Apache's actually faster processing complex PHP thanks to mod_php.

I think it might be time to do a proper benchmark on the subject...

---

just put a reverse proxy in front : varnish cache and ensure it use memory for cache, if you benchmarking p202, both your php-fpm and your varnish cache need listen on port 80 + a little code in the varnish configuration

---

That's what we do on our servers. Use nginx as a reverse proxy for apache.

---

That could be the case but I'd suspect if you're doing enough volume to weigh the benefits, you're probably more limited by prospers code and mysql.

---

@thedudeabides - Generally, I'd agree. Would be interesting to see whether Apache, Nginx or something else is faster with a well-optimised codebase, though...
