Is using apache and nginx at the same time a good idea?












3















I sometimes use apache in port 81 and run in port 80 (or 443) using nginx, like this



location / {

proxy_pass http://localhost:81

}


I have to do this because some software (Like phpbb does not run properly on nginx)
Is this a good idea?






nginx apache-2.4

There is certainly nothing wrong with running a reverse proxy like this, but you do need to decide if it is really necessary.



If you can avoid doing so it will be easier all the way around. It shouldn't be your default. If there is some specific benefit you need - specific versions of libraries, proxying back to a different network segment, etc - it's worth while.

    Nginx has capability to cache and deliver static content very fast (in comparsion to apache), so combination of both servers in some cases works well.
    If you use nginx as a proxy to Apache, you can tune Apache to listen only on loopback address (127.0.0.1) not to confuse if someone will come to your host at port 81.
    And, sure, phpbb works perfectly with nginx only. Better describe your problem, what is not properly in your meaning?

                      Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                      Image
                      6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
