I presume you’ve set up DHIS2 with nginx or Apache (as per usual with the standard dhis2-tools setup).
What you need to do is configure nginx (presuming that’s what you’re using) with a location for both, /dhis and /hris respectively. The /dhis location should be configured already, evident by what you’re saying, iHRIS i’m not familiar with, but a quick googling tells me it uses apache, meaning you’d probably want to set up nginx as a common front-end for both. I found this link but cannot really vouch for its content (I only skimmed through it).
The details you should be able to find online as there are vast resources on configuring both nginx and Apache. It’s not really a DHIS2 or iHRIS specific case.
As Halvdan implies, you probably now havr both nginx and apache running on the same port (80) and thus blocking each other. You probably no longer need Apache now that you have nginx, but need to point nginx to the ihris installation.
Not to confuse stuff too much, but if you already have Apache running, you could also consider to use that as a reverse proxy for DHIS2 as well. This is described here
That way, you would not need both Apache and Nginx running, although there could be reasons why you might want that as seen from the article which Halvdan shared.

As has been discussed above, there are three ways to proceed realistically
1. configure apache as a reverse proxy; or
2. move apache on to port 81, and reverse proxy it behind nginx
3. run ihris php stuff through nginx.
I think either of 1 or 2 is fine - i have done both in different
places. Not sure if I would consider 3 as you already have your
apache up and running and configured.

Dear All,
My DHIS2 was running on the old installation method which means was
accessing it using: http://localhost:8080/dhis\.
Now i had changed the method of installation using the dhis2-tool
method and i can access it using: http://localhost/dhis
Now my issues:
This server was running Integrated Human Resource Information System
(iHRIS) and was being access using http://localhost/hris/login
Currently, when the instance of dhis2 is running iHRIS will goes down
and when dhis2 goes down iHRIS will work fine.
Please i need both to run in parallel can anyone help me how i can do
it.
Kindly note that
iHRIS (Database is MySQL)
DHIS2 (Database is PostgreSQL)
So part of the problem with dhis2-tools is that it makes some assumptions about your setup. Namely, that you do not really have anything else running on the machine other than DHIS2. In your case, you have IHRIS, which is a PHP application, and it is being served by the Apache HTTP server.
The link which I sent to you, describes how to use the Apache HTTP as a reverse proxy, which in your case, would seem to be simpler. Usually, we would use Nginx as a reverse proxy because it is faster and has a much smaller memory foot print than Apache HTTP. But with your setup, you already have Apache HTTP installed, so it would seem simpler (to me) to simply use that as your reverse proxy for DHIS2 as well, rather than having both Apache HTTP and NGINX running on the same machine.
As Bob just mailed, there are different ways of doing it, each with their advantages and disadvantages, but Apache is fully capable of serving as a reverse proxy for DHIS2, so it would just seem simpler to use it.
Dear Jason/Bob,
I already choose the first option Bob gave and both of the
applications are up and running.
Please i can i know my disadvantages of doing this because that is the
only server I have right now and i am sure it is doing a lot of
processes.

So you are using apache as reverse proxy and uninstalled nginx. That is fine.
There is not much to choose between the two. Using nginx as reverse
proxy in front of apache is very light though obviously costs a
little. On the other hand apache is a slightly heavier reverse proxy
than nginx so also costs a little.
The important thing is to have one proxy rather than accessing
different urls directly through different ports. For one thing it
allows you to share the benefits of your your ssl certificate. Also
it gives you some flexibility, for example if one day you get yourself
a separate server to run dhis you just reconfigure the proxy so there
is no change for users.

Bob

Dear Bob,
I didn't actually uninstall nginx. This is what i did:
1. I ran a2enmod module
2. nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
3. I define a proxy virtual host using mod_virtualhost
<VirtualHost *:*>
ProxyPreserveHost On
# Servers to proxy the connection, or;
# List of application servers:
# Usage:
ProxyPass / http://[IP Addr.]:[80]/hris
ProxyPassReverse / http://[IP Addr.]:[8080]/dhis
# Example:
ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:8080/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
service apache2 restart
Then i test both application where running. Please let me know if it
makes sense.
NOTE: 0.0.0.0 was replaced by the local server IP

You will recall I installed dhis2-tools on your machine some time back
and noticed that you have apache2 and ihris running. So I never
installed nginx at all (and that is also why it is not a dependency of
the dhis2-tools package).
I also configured the apache reverse proxy in
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf. Which was working because the
dhis server was accessable. Its not clear to me really how this could
have made ihris "not available" in the process.
We'll take it up off line ...
Cheers
Bob

Dear Bob,
I didn't actually uninstall nginx. This is what i did:
1. I ran a2enmod module
2. nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
3. I define a proxy virtual host using mod_virtualhost
<VirtualHost *:*>
ProxyPreserveHost On
# Servers to proxy the connection, or;
# List of application servers:
# Usage:
ProxyPass / http://[IP Addr.]:[80]/hris
ProxyPassReverse / http://[IP Addr.]:[8080]/dhis
# Example:
ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:8080/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
service apache2 restart
Then i test both application where running. Please let me know if it
makes sense.
NOTE: 0.0.0.0 was replaced by the local server IP

Hi Gerald
So you are using apache as reverse proxy and uninstalled nginx. That is
fine.
There is not much to choose between the two. Using nginx as reverse
proxy in front of apache is very light though obviously costs a
little. On the other hand apache is a slightly heavier reverse proxy
than nginx so also costs a little.
The important thing is to have one proxy rather than accessing
different urls directly through different ports. For one thing it
allows you to share the benefits of your your ssl certificate. Also
it gives you some flexibility, for example if one day you get yourself
a separate server to run dhis you just reconfigure the proxy so there
is no change for users.

Dear Jason/Bob,
I already choose the first option Bob gave and both of the
applications are up and running.
Please i can i know my disadvantages of doing this because that is the
only server I have right now and i am sure it is doing a lot of
processes.

Hi Gerald,
So part of the problem with dhis2-tools is that it makes some
assumptions
about your setup. Namely, that you do not really have anything else
running
on the machine other than DHIS2. In your case, you have IHRIS, which is
a
PHP application, and it is being served by the Apache HTTP server.
The link which I sent to you, describes how to use the Apache HTTP as a
reverse proxy, which in your case, would seem to be simpler. Usually, we
would use Nginx as a reverse proxy because it is faster and has a much
smaller memory foot print than Apache HTTP. But with your setup, you
already have Apache HTTP installed, so it would seem simpler (to me) to
simply use that as your reverse proxy for DHIS2 as well, rather than
having
both Apache HTTP and NGINX running on the same machine.
As Bob just mailed, there are different ways of doing it, each with
their
advantages and disadvantages, but Apache is fully capable of serving as
a
reverse proxy for DHIS2, so it would just seem simpler to use it.
Regards,
Jason

Dear Jason,
I am sure both the Apache and Nginx needs to run together but after
looking at the manuals i found out that the normal installation of
nginx is different from the way "dhis2-tool" runs it installation.
I am a bit confuse where i should start.
