Use Nginx to build a PHP Server

: This article describes how to use Nginx to build a PHP Server. if you are interested in the PHP Tutorial, refer to it. Generally, Apache is used as the PHP parsing server. this time, Nginx is used as a powerful reverse proxy server to build a PHP server. The following uses Ubuntu as an example to build an Nginx PHP server.

First download and install Nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx

After installation, start Nginx

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

In this case, enter http: // localhost/in the browser to see Welcome to nginx! The Nginx server is successfully installed.

Install PHP5

sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

After the installation is successful, we need to modify the Nginx virtual machine configuration so that the php file requested by the browser can be parsed by php cgi. Edit The Nginx virtual machine configuration file/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Then, change the configuration in to the following configuration:

# You may add here your# server {#   ...# }# statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file### You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.# http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls# http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart# http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration## Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean# file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.## Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.##server {    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied    #listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6    root /usr/share/nginx/www;    index index.html index.htm index.php;    # Make site accessible from http://localhost/    server_name localhost;    location / {        # First attempt to serve request as file, then        # as directory, then fall back to index.html        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;        # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location        # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules    }    location /doc/ {        alias /usr/share/doc/;        autoindex on;        allow 127.0.0.1;        deny all;    }    # Only for nginx-naxsi : process denied requests    #location /RequestDenied {        # For example, return an error code        #return 418;    #}    error_page 404 /404.html;    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html    #    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;    location = /50x.html {        root /usr/share/nginx/www;    }    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000    #    location ~ \.php$ {        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;        # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini        # With php5-cgi alone:        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;        # With php5-fpm:        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;        fastcgi_index index.php;        include fastcgi_params;    }    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root    # concurs with nginx's one    #    location ~ /\.ht {        deny all;    }}# another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration##server {#   listen 8000;#   listen somename:8080;#   server_name somename alias another.alias;#   root html;#   index index.html index.htm;##   location / {#       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;#   }#}# HTTPS server##server {#   listen 443;#   server_name localhost;##   root html;#   index index.html index.htm;##   ssl on;#   ssl_certificate cert.pem;#   ssl_certificate_key cert.key;##   ssl_session_timeout 5m;##   ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;#   ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv3:+EXP;#   ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;##   location / {#       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;#   }#}

Reload the Nginx configuration we just changed

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload

Create a phpinfo. php file in the/usr/share/nginx/www/directory to view the configuration and environment information of php.

sudo vim /usr/share/nginx/www/phpinfo.php

Enter the following content in phpinfo. php:

Enter http: // localhost/phpinfo. php in the browser to view the PHP information page, version, and other information.

PHP5 also has a lot of supported modules, if you need to choose to install, General these modules are php5-at the beginning, such as php5-mysql, in Ubuntu to install him only

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

Do not forget to restart PHP5 after installing the PHP module. run the following command to restart the PHP module:

sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart
