+====== Nginx & PHP ======
+This menu contains settings for FreshTomato's internal web server (Nginx) and optional support for PHP.  Note that FreshTomato also has a built-in (httpd) web server used only for router administration. This additional minimal web server is based on a more modern version of Nginx.

+===== Status =====

+**NGINX is currently running:** This displays the service status. Clicking [Stop Now] immediately stops the service.
+**NGINX is currently stopped:** This displays the service status. Clicking [Start Now] immediately stops the service.
+**Enable Server on Start:**  Enabling this causes the nginx service to load at boot time during each boot.
+**Enable PHP support:**  Enabling this option will cause any PHP pages served by the webserver to be interpreted.
+**Run As:**  The option chosen here specifies under which system account the nginx daemon will run.
+  * root - The nginx daemon will run under the root account.
+  * nobody - The nginx daemon will run under the nobody account.

+**Keep Config files: TBD**
+**Web Server Port:** This specifies on which LAN port Web content will be served. Traditionally, the default HTTP port is 80. However, a conflict might occur if the httpd web server were configured to use the same port (See: [[admin_access|Admin Access]]). Consequently, it was decided that port 85 would be the default for Nginx.
+**Upload file size limit:** This setting enforces a hard-coded limit for the maximum amount of data that can be uploaded in a single session.
+**Allow Remote Access:** Enabling this chooses whether Nginx content will be visible from the WAN. If enabled, content is served on the same port as the LAN's "Web Server Port". \\
+ \\ {{:pasted:20220215-153925.png}}  \\   \\   \\ **Web Server Name:**  Here, you enter the web server's name. (Default: Tomato).
+**Document Root Path:**  Here, you specify the filesystem location of the root folder where content/pages are located.
+**Server Priority:**  This set the "nice" value for the nginx process. This value assigns the Webserver process a CPU priority, relative to other processes. Valid settings are between -20 (highest priority) and 19 (lowest priority).
+**Enable h5ai support:**  h5ai is a modern file indexer for HTTP Webervers with focus on your files. Its php code displays "boring" file/folder lists in an a more appealing way.
+In order to benefit from h5ai, you must:
+  * Enable the h5ai support option
+  * Enable PHP on this menu
+  * Download [[https://larsjung.de/h5ai/|h5ai]] and copy the ''_h5ai'' folder directly under the ''Document Root Path''
+===== Advanced Settings =====
+This field allows you to specify custom settings to tweak default behaviour. For additional information please consult the latest official NGINX [[https://nginx.org/en/|documentation]].

+**Use user config file:**  Here, choose whether a custom configuration file will be used. This will cause some web interface settings to to be overridden.
+**User config file path:**  Here, you can specify a custom path for the nginx configuration file. The settings in this file will be active only if //Use user config file// is enabled. When //Use user config file// is disabled, the path remains in the field, but is inactive.
