Nginx + PHP (FastCGI) installation configuration notes

This is the Nginx and PHP installation notes that the webmaster recorded when they installed the server at one time in 2011. Installation process records are simple, just a rough flow, some details are not detailed description, please forgive me, I will be in the future to reorganize a detailed installation process, this article is for reference only!

Software Environment: CentOS 5.7 + PHP 5.2.17 + Nginx 0.8.55

1. Compile and install PHP and PHP-FPM

Tips:

Install PHP before you should install MySQL, the specific method please Baidu or Google;
PHP need to support the installation of the library does not do too much introduction, can be online search reference related tutorials to install.
Download the PHP-FPM source package corresponding to the current PHP version from http://php-fpm.org/downloads/, for example: php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.diff.gz
Tar zxvf php-5.2.17.tar.gz
GZIP-CD php-5.2.17-fpm-0.5.14.diff.gz | Patch-d PHP-5.2.17-P1
CD php-5.2.17
./configure–prefix=/usr/local/php/–with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/etc–with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/– with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/–with-gd–with-zlib–with-curl–with-jpeg-dir–with-png-dir–with-libxml-dir– With-freetype-dir–with-iconv=/usr/local–with-mcrypt–enable-fastcgi–enable-fpm–enable-xml–enable-mbstring
Make
Make install
CP Php.ini-dist/usr/local/php/etc/php.ini

Note: The –enable-fastcgi in the PHP compilation parameters above must be turned on.

2. Create user and user groups used by Nginx

Groupadd www
Useradd-g www www

3. Create a Site directory and set permissions

Mkdir-p/htdocs/www
chmod +w/htdocs/www
Chown-r www:www/htdocs/www

4. PCRE Library for installing Nginx

Tar zxvf pcre-8.13.tar.gz
CD pcre-8.13
./configure
Make
Make install

5. Install Nginx

Tar zxvf nginx-0.8.55.tar.gz
CD nginx-0.8.55
./configure–prefix=/usr/local/nginx–with-http_stub_status_module–with-http_ssl_module–user=www–group=www
Make
Make install

6. Configure Nginx to create a virtual host

In the http{...} section of the nginx.conf file, add a server{...} segment, such as the following code:

server {
Listen 80;
server_name www.youdomain.com; #你的域名
root/htdocs/www;
Access_log Logs/www.access.log;
Location/{
Index index.html index.php;
}
Error_page 502 503 504/50x.html;
Location =/50x.html {
root HTML;
}
Location ~. *\.php?$ {
Fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Fastcgi_index index.php;
Include fastcgi.conf;
}
Location ~/nginx_info {
Access_log off;
Stub_status on;
}
}

Note: In the above configuration, add location ~/nginx_info {...}, so that you can query Nginx state information by http://www.youdomain.com/nginx_info/.
