So after all these years I’ve had using apache for run something that runs with php, but since I know about nginx, I’ve been using this webserver instead of apache.
This wordpress blog is running with nginx and php-fpm, because not like apache that you can run anything about php without install the additional package. With nginx, you’ll need php-fpm to run php behind nginx.
This is the steps that I always use for make my php run behind nginx, especially when I setup this wordpress blog. Since I’m using mysql for database, you might want to install php package for mysql as well.
apt-get install php5-common php5-fpm php5-mysql
create nginx configuration for php website
vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/myweb.conf
myweb.conf
server { listen 80; server_name www.pulpn.com pulpn.com; charset utf-8; gzip_vary on; access_log /var/log/nginx/myweb.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/myweb.error.log; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE' always; location / { root /var/www/pulpn; index index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; location ~* \.php { try_files $uri =404; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; } } }
Restart your nginx :
service nginx restart
Or
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
