About this site

Tengine Tips is a collection of practical, field-tested guides for running the Tengine web server in production. Every article focuses on one real problem — a 502, a reload failure, a rewrite that silently does nothing — and walks through the fix with copy-paste-ready configuration.

Who this is for

• Developers and DevOps engineers running Tengine or Nginx as a reverse proxy
• Anyone moving a Java, Node, or PHP backend behind a Tengine front end
• Operators tuning small VPS deployments on a budget

What you will find here

• Troubleshooting guides for the errors that actually happen (502, 403, 413, SSL reloads, timeouts)
• Configuration recipes: compression, caching, HTTP/2, security headers, rate limiting
• Architecture comparisons, like Tengine vs Nginx, and when each choice matters

A note on the content

All commands and configurations are tested in real production-like setups before publishing. That said, every environment differs — always run nginx -t before reloading, and test changes on a staging server first.
