nginx configuration workbook
Note: See SCA NGINX Configuration for information on actual configuration.
SSL Configuration

Tomcat configuration
To take full advantage of nginx+ssl, I believe we need to setup Tomcat to use the RemoteIpValve:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/valves/RemoteIpValve.html
An example is here:

PHP Applications
[List of PHP Applications here]
A Previous migration of fudforum:
Two potential solutions
- PHP applications on nginx reverse proxies
- PHP applications on another server (configured the same as Tomcat servers)
The second option potentially makes session handling easier.
Taylor has php54 option. I believe Taylor has a drupal option as well, but it may not suit our needs.
Necessary installs for PHP:
sudo yum install php54 php54-php-fpm php54-php-mysqlnd
Fudforum
Fudforum saves attachments to disk. I think we need to do an admin dump then import the dump into the new instance when it's done.
