Add the host configuration file under \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/. Nginx config file will load all *.conf files under conf.d folder :<\/p>\n
As example, the website domain is ehowstuff.local. So virtual server ehowstuff.local will be created and named as ehowstuff.local.conf :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# vi \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/ehowstuff.local.conf\n<\/pre>\n\nserver {\n server_name www.ehowstuff.local ehowstuff.local;\n access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/ehowstuff.local\/access.log;\n error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/ehowstuff.local\/error.log;\n root \/var\/www\/html\/ehowstuff.local\/public_html;\n\n location \/ {\n index index.html index.htm index.php;\n }\n\n location ~ \\.php$ {\n include \/etc\/nginx\/fastcgi_params;\n fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;\n fastcgi_index index.php;\n fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \/var\/www\/html\/ehowstuff.local\/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;\n }\n}\n<\/pre>\n10. Check your nginx version :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# nginx -v\nnginx version: nginx\/1.2.4\n<\/pre>\n11. Configure php-fastcgi :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# cd \/opt\n[root@centos63 opt]# wget -O php-fastcgi-rpm.sh http:\/\/library.linode.com\/assets\/696-php-fastcgi-rpm.sh\n[root@centos63 opt]# mv php-fastcgi-rpm.sh \/usr\/bin\/php-fastcgi\n[root@centos63 opt]# chmod +x \/usr\/bin\/php-fastcgi\n<\/pre>\n\n[root@centos63 opt]# wget -O php-fastcgi-init-rpm.sh http:\/\/library.linode.com\/assets\/697-php-fastcgi-init-rpm.sh\n[root@centos63 opt]# mv php-fastcgi-init-rpm.sh \/etc\/rc.d\/init.d\/php-fastcgi\n[root@centos63 opt]# chmod +x \/etc\/rc.d\/init.d\/php-fastcgi\n<\/pre>\n12. Start php-fastcgi to control spawn-fcgi :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# \/etc\/init.d\/php-fastcgi start\nStarting php-cgi: spawn-fcgi: child spawned successfully: PID: 3380\n [ OK ]\n<\/pre>\n13. Start Nginx service :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# service nginx start\n<\/pre>\n14. Make Nginx and php-fastcgi start at boot :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 opt]# chkconfig --add nginx\n[root@centos63 opt]# chkconfig nginx on\n[root@centos63 opt]# chkconfig --add php-fastcgi\n[root@centos63 opt]# chkconfig php-fastcgi on\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the previous post, i have setup Nginx as reverse proxy to apache web server.

At the previous post, i have setup Nginx as reverse proxy to apache web server. This post will covers the steps how to setup nginx web server to use PHP-FastCGI for dynamic content. Nginx (pronounced \u201cEngine-X\u201d) is a free, open-source HTTP Web server and one of the alternative to Apache http server. It\u2019s a high performance edge web server with the lowest memory footprint and the key features to build modern and efficient web infrastructure. FastCGI is a language independent, scalable, open extension to CGI that provides high performance without the limitations of server specific APIs. FastCGI provides better scalability and performance.<\/p>\n
