Nginx configuration for running Shopware

This is an example configuration for running Shopware using nginx. Which is a high-performance non-blocking HTTP server.

This configuration is heavily inspired by perusio's drupal-configuration.

Warning

Please only use nginx if you know what you are doing. Shopware AG provides no support for running nginx as appserver. Also note that Shopware will not run faster with nginx. A properly configured apache webserver is in most cases as fast as nginx.

Compatibility

This configuration is tested with Shopware 5.1 or later.

Installation

1. Move the old /etc/nginx directory to /etc/nginx.old.

2. Clone the git repository from github:

   git clone https://github.com/bcremer/shopware-with-nginx.git /etc/nginx
   

3. Setup the PHP-FPM upstream in conf.d/upstream.conf

4. Edit or copy the sites-available/example.com.conf configuration file to suit your requirements.

5. Enable your site configuration

   ln -s ../sites-available/example.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
   

6. Reload nginx
