    I'm in the process on moving my forum over to a new vps with centminmod, however I can't transfer the domain over yet because I want people to be able to use the old forum until it's all set up and I'm ready to import the database on the new vps.

    How can I work on the new vps and view the site in my browser? if I go to the IP it just shows me the default nginx page even though I already added the new vhost.

    Preview the test copy site domain via local computer hosts file edits. For instance on windows pc to preview a test site on different ip, just edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with line
    Code:
    newipaddress domain.com www.domain.com subdomain.domain.com
Then when you go to domain.com in your browser it bypasses your ISP DNS and uses the local hosts file edit to redirect domain.com to newipaddress temporarily.
    Remember, to remove local hosts file end or comment it out with hash # to switch back to live domain pointer to live ip address.

    Thanks, i'll try that. Another question. How would I finetune my centminmod install? I know I need to edit my worker_processes and such, but I can't find where to tune it and what to put the values at.
