What do you mean by vIrtual host? A Virtual IP or a LAN server port-forwarded to WAN? Or a web virtual host or reverse proxy?

Virtual Host WEB, "Vhosts" as in previous versions.

Hi.

Maybe running another instance of nginx listen at one Virtual IP

You have to edit: /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf and the server section :
for example:


# /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# server

server {
#LISTEN     YOUR VIRTUAL IP:80;
listen      10.0.0.253:80;
server_name  your-domain.localdomain.local;

#charset koi8-r;

#access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

location / {
root   /usr/local/www/nginx;
index  index.html index.htm;

And run from shell the nginx instance with

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx onestart

If you wish your nginx instance run at reboot, add it to config.xml before label :

<shellcmd>/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx onestart</shellcmd>

This smells like a question for the cache/proxy subforum.

Not necessarily, if I only want a web http server (for whatever reason) independent of the gui.
