how to configure nginx with running apache ?

[Joydeep Bakshi]

Hello,

I have installed and configured nginx for a existing domain, but I get "it
works" at the browser.

I have changed all port from 80 to 8080 in apache vhost and create same
vhost in  /etc/nginx/vhosts.d/mydomain.conf as below

server {
 listen 80; # Default listen port
 server_name   site.mydomain.com;
 access_log /var/log/nginx/dustri.de;
 gzip on; # Turn on gZip
 gzip_disable msie6;
 gzip_static on;
 gzip_comp_level 9;
 gzip_proxied any;
 gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml
application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

 location / {
  proxy_redirect off; # Do not redirect this proxy - It needs to be
pass-through
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header X-Server-Address $server_addr;
  proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
  #proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6081; # Pass all traffic through to Varnish
 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
 }
}

obviously site.mydomain.com has been replaced by the actual site to visit.

What else should I configure here ?

Thanks
