Nginx setup in reverse will boost up cPanel/WHM Server. cPanel does not officially support nginx yet but we can set up nginx on cPanel using NginxCP installation script , which provide good performance with cPanel Servers.
Nginx setup in reverse proxy support static contents like css, images, swf file , javascript etc and forward the remaining dynamic requests to apache web server, that the process called as Nginx reverse proxy and Nginx behaves like front end server.

Step 2: Go into the directory through below command:
# cd /usr/local/src
Download nginxadmin package through below command .
# wget http://nginxcp.com/latest/nginxadmin.tar
Extract the nginxadmin.tar in the same path
# tar xf ngnixadmin.tar
After extract the publicnginx folder will be create in the same path and go to this directory.
# cd publicnginx
Now run the ngnix installer script through below command
# ./ngnixinstaller install
