Using Nginx and PHP connection problems under Mac OS X

Installing Nginx

Use the Brew Package management tool to install Nginx

http://brew.sh/

Official online at a glance, the use is very simple.

After successful installation, execute the brew install Nginx directly in the terminal.

After installation, under/usr/local/cellar/can see the installation of Nginx package, Cellar directory is dedicated to put the brew installed package, all the relevant configuration files under/usr/local/etc/nginx/.

Configure Nginx

The initial nginx listen is the 8080 port, according to the Convention changed to 80 port, pay attention to bring your own Apache off.

At this time to execute the nginx command, the browser localhost can see the welcome, but still cannot execute PHP files, because there is no configuration with PHP connection, here will use PHP-FPM, First to add fastcgi configuration in Nginx configuration file:

Location ~ \.php$ {            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;            Fastcgi_index  index.php;            Fastcgi_param  script_filename  /usr/local/cellar/nginx/1.8.0/html$fastcgi_script_name;            Include        fastcgi_params;        }

The corresponding modifications can be made by reference to the above configuration.

Configure PHP-FPM

Then modify the configuration of the Error_log and PID in the PHP-FPM configuration file:

Go to config file, sudo vim/private/etc/php-fpm.conf

Error_log =/usr/local/var/log/php-fpm.logpid =/usr/local/var/run/php-fpm.pid

Refer to the corresponding modifications.

Open PHP-FPM:

sudo/usr/sbin/php-fpm

Re-start Nginx

Nginx-s Reload

Test the PHP file in the server root directory.

Nginx and Apache The most intuitive difference is that Apache can be PHP as a sub-module, thus directly parsing PHP, and nginx can not do, only through the fastcgi mode with PHP connection, of course, Apache can also use fastcgi mode. The PHP-FPM (Process Manager) is the tool that manages fastcgi, and after the PHP5.3 version, PHP comes with it.
