Serving website with Apache, with Nginx as interface?

[Alex Hall]

Thanks! I followed you, until the proxy_pass. What is backend1, and where is it defined? I know it's something you made up, but how does it know about Apache, or Apache about it?

However, sd2 is OSTicket, which must be served by Apache, it seems. Of course, Apache and Nginx can't listen to port 80 at the same time, and as this is a subdomain on a local, Windows DNS, I can't make sd2.mysite.com <http://sd2.mysite.com/> point to myip:8080 or anything like that.

However, if the request is for sd2, Nginx somehow hands off the request to Apache, then returns what Apache gives it back to the user.

Is there any way to do this? Am I even making sense? Thanks for any ideas anyone has.
