Howto install Magento 2 on Plesk with Nginx?

[wyrix]

I'm trying to setup Magento 2 on Plesk with Nginx. I've copied "nginx.conf.sample" to "nginx.conf" in my "httpdocs" directory.

Second, I've changed settings under "Apache & Nginx settings" in Plesk like I've found on different forums;

* Disabled "Proxy mode"

* Inserted in "Additional nginx directives" different codes, but none of them work;

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name domain.name;
   set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs;
   include /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/nginx.conf;
}

Error: Invalid nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] "server" directive is not allowed here in /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.name/conf/vhost_nginx.conf:1 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

include /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/nginx.conf;

Error: Invalid nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] no port in upstream "fastcgi_backend" in /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/nginx.conf:41 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

upstream fastcgi_backend {  
    server unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}

server {  
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name domain.name;
    set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs;
    set $MAGE_MODE default;
    include /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/nginx.conf;
}

server {  
    listen 80;
    server_name domain.name;
    set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs;
    set $MAGE_MODE default;
    include /var/www/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/nginx.conf;
}

Error: Invalid nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] "upstream" directive is not allowed here in /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.name/conf/vhost_nginx.conf:1 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Does someone know how to set it up?

Apparently not eh?

I have been trying to get it to run on CentOS7 with nginx. I can get the install to work without errors but all I get is the nginx test page when I try to access it in a browser. Can't seem to find an answer in the forums either. It shouldn't be this hard, I'm about to try something else.

Plesk have vhost templates, you need to create some custom templates for magento. then restart nginx.

[JoergL]

This is not correct that you need to make a vhost template you could just add (if your document root is already set to 'domain_name/pub'), to the 'Additional nginx directives' in Domain Setup

It will turn on 'Brotli' compression too.

I am still testing the setting, so far it works OK and we have a lot 3rd Party Extensions too!
