CentOS 6.5/5.10 and Red Hat (RHEL) 6.5/5.10

5. Stop httpd (Apache) server, Start Nginx HTTP Server and PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)Stop httpd (Apache)

/ETC/INIT.D/HTTPD stop
# # OR # #
Service httpd Stop

Start Nginx

/etc/init.d/nginx Start # # Use restart after update## OR # #service nginx Start # # Use restart after update

Start PHP-FPM

/ETC/INIT.D/PHP-FPM Start # # Use restart after update## OR # #service php-fpm Start # # Use restart after update

6. Autostart Nginx and php-fpm on boot, also prevent httpd (Apache) autostarting on bootPrevent httpd (Apache) autostarting on boot

/sbin/chkconfig httpd off

Autostart Nginx on Boot

Centos/red Hat (RHEL) 6/5

/sbin/chkconfig--add nginx/sbin/chkconfig--levels 235 nginx on

Autostart php-fpm on Boot

Centos/red Hat (RHEL)

/sbin/chkconfig--add PHP-FPM
/sbin/chkconfig--levels 235 PHP-FPM on

7. Configure Nginx and PHP-FPMCreate directory layout for your site

I Use the Here testsite.local site, but this could of course is your real site, like www.if-not-true-then-false.c Om.

# # Public_html directory and Logs directory # #mkdir-P/srv/www/testsite.local/public_htmlmkdir/srv/www/testsite.local /logschown-r apache:apache/srv/www/testsite.local

Alternative setup to add logs under /var/log directory.

# # Public_html directory and Logs directory # #
Mkdir-p/srv/www/testsite.local/public_html
Mkdir-p/var/log/nginx/testsite.local
Chown-r apache:apache/srv/www/testsite.local
Chown-r Nginx:nginx/var/log/nginx

Note: I use Apache user and group here, because PHP-FPM runs as Apache-default (Apache choosed to is able to access some dir as HTTPD). If you use the some other user on your PHP-FPM conf then the change this accordingly.

Create and Configure virtual host directories under /etc/nginx

Mkdir/etc/nginx/sites-availablemkdir/etc/nginx/sites-enabled

Add following lines to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file, after ' include/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf ' line ( Inside HTTP block).

# # Load Virtual host conf files. ##
include/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

Create testsite.localVirtual Host File

Add following content to /etc/nginx/sites-available/testsite.local file. This is very basic Virtual host CONFIG.

server {    server_name testsite.local;    access_log / srv/www/testsite.local/logs/access.log;    error_log /srv/www/testsite.local/logs/ error.log;    root /srv/www/testsite.local/public_html;      Location / {        index index.html index.htm  index.php;    }     location ~ \.php$ {         include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;         fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;         fastcgi_index index.php;        fastcgi_param  script_filename /srv/www/testsite.local/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;         }}

Link your virtual host to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

cd/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Ln-s/etc/nginx/sites-available/testsite.local
/sbin/service nginx Restart

Add your testsite.local "domain" to/etc/hosts file

/etc/hosts file Nginx on same machine
127.0.0.1. Row should look like example following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost testsite.local

And if you use the another machine where is running your Nginx server, then add it's public IP as following:

10.0.2.19 WordPress

Note: This was just very simple basic configuration, but if you want configure and optimize Nginx and php-fpm more then check fol lowing Guide, Nginx and php-fpm Configuration and optimizing Tips and Tricks

8. Test your Nginx and PHP-FPM setup

Create /srv/www/testsite.local/public_html/index.php file with following content:

Phpinfo ();
?>

Access following address, with your browser. http://testsite.local/

Note:
If you get 403 Forbidden error and then you probably has problem with SELinux and then run simply following command:

Chcon-r-T httpd_sys_content_t/srv/www/testsite.local/public_html # Or Some apps might need httpd_sys_rw_content_t # #ch Con-r-T httpd_sys_rw_content_t/srv/www/testsite.local/public_html

Enable Remote Connection to Nginx Web Server (Open Port Iptables Firewall)1. Centos/red Hat (RHEL) 6/51.1 Edit/etc/sysconfig/iptables File:

Nano-w/etc/sysconfig/iptables

1.2 Add following INPUT rule:

-A input-m state--state new-m tcp-p TCP--dport 80-j ACCEPT

1.3 Restart Iptables Firewall:

/sbin/service iptables restart## OR ##/etc/init.d/iptables Restart
