How to Use Nginx as a Load Balancer

<#include '/gkmsid/9058821'> Load balancing is a system that distributes network or application traffic across a number of servers. For example, you have your primary NGINX web server and want to distribute the load across two or three other NGINX servers; by doing this, you can ensure that no matter how much traffic you're getting, more than one server can take care of the load. Clearly, your web sites (on each NGINX server) will have to be set up identically for this to work (otherwise, you'd be distributing traffic across differing sites). With that said, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to setup NGINX for load balancing. I'll be demonstrating on Ubuntu Server 16.04, with three servers at IP addresses: Server 1 - 192.168.1.232 Server 2 - 192.168.1.233 Server 3 - 192.168.1.234 You will alter the configuration to meet your specific IP address scheme and needs (say you want to distribute across more servers). I will assume you alrea

If you have sudo rights the quickest way to install Drush is from the Ubuntu repository: $ sudo apt - get install drush However, the version this currently will give you is 4.5 (using Ubuntu 12.04).

Installation of Drush for Drupal through composer

What is Drush ? Drush  is a command-line interface specifically made for dealing with Drupal. It provides a much faster management experience and is recommended if you are not afraid of using the command line. 1. Clone Drush master branch from git We want to get the master branch from the Drush github repository. This will be placed under “usr/local/lib” as a new folder named “drush”. Launch your Terminal and type: > cd /usr/local/lib/ > git clone --branch master https://github.com/drush-ops/drush.git if suppose after executing the above command , if it says "permission denied" you can just try getting permission or else just change the directory and install it over there for time being .... which solves your problem , but not a permanent solution  Note:-  2. Get composer Drush 8 requires composer to install, so you need to get that if you don’t have it already. We also want to move composer to /usr/local/bin/ so that it’s easier to use. > curl
