NGINX, pronounced \u201cEngine X\u201d is an alternate web server for Apache. NGINX is an open source web server and a reverse proxy server for HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocols. If you plan to run a very busy and high concurrency websites but with low memory usage, i would suggest you to setup NGINX as a web server on your Virtual Private Server (VPS) or dedicated server.<\/p>\n

1. Install nginx, PHP and MySQL :<\/p>\n

\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo apt-get install nginx php5 php5-fpm php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-intl php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl mysql-server-5.6 -y\n<\/pre>\n
During this installation, you will require to set MySQL’s root password :
\n\"1\"<\/p>\n
\"2\"<\/p>\n
2. Open \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini and set cgi.fix_pathinfo=0:<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo vi \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini\n<\/pre>\n
\n; http:\/\/php.net\/cgi.fix-pathinfo\ncgi.fix_pathinfo=0\n\n; FastCGI under IIS (on WINNT based OS) supports the ability to impersonate\n; securi\n<\/pre>\n
3. Set date.timezone in \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo vi \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini\n<\/pre>\n
\n[Date]\n; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions\n; http:\/\/php.net\/date.timezone\ndate.timezone = \"Asia\/Kuala_Lumpur\"\n\n; http:\/\/php.net\/date.default-latitude\n;date.default_latitude = 31.7667\n<\/pre>\n
4. By default PHP-FPM is listening on the socket \/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock. We have an option to make PHP-FPM use a TCP connection. Open and add “listen = 127.0.0.1:9000” and comment out “listen = \/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock”<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo vim \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/pool.d\/www.conf\n<\/pre>\n
Change as below :<\/p>\n
\n..\n..\n;   '\/path\/to\/unix\/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.\n; Note: This value is mandatory.\n;listen = \/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock\nlisten = 127.0.0.1:9000\n..\n..\n<\/pre>\n
5. Restart PHP-FPM :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo service php5-fpm restart\nstop: Unknown instance:\nphp5-fpm start\/running, process 7314\n<\/pre>\n
6. Backup NGINX config file :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo cp -p \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf.bak\n<\/pre>\n
7. Check Number CPU on your VPS server. This will will require to adjust NGINX Worker Processes & Connections. NGINX workers is equal to the number of processors :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ lscpu | grep '^CPU(s)'\nCPU(s):                1\n<\/pre>\n
8. Configure worker_processes on nginx.conf as below :<\/p>\n
\n..\n..\nworker_processes 1;\n..\n..\n<\/pre>\n
Full nginx configuration should like below :<\/p>\n
\nuser www-data;\nworker_processes 1;\npid \/run\/nginx.pid;\n\nevents {\n        worker_connections 768;\n        # multi_accept on;\n}\n\nhttp {\n\n        ##\n        # Basic Settings\n        ##\n\n        sendfile on;\n        tcp_nopush on;\n        tcp_nodelay on;\n        keepalive_timeout 65;\n        types_hash_max_size 2048;\n        # server_tokens off;\n\n        # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;\n        # server_name_in_redirect off;\n\n        include \/etc\/nginx\/mime.types;\n        default_type application\/octet-stream;\n\n        ##\n        # Logging Settings\n        ##\n\n        access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/access.log;\n        error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/error.log;\n\n        ##\n        # Gzip Settings\n        ##\n\n        gzip on;\n        gzip_disable \"msie6\";\n\n        # gzip_vary on;\n        # gzip_proxied any;\n        # gzip_comp_level 6;\n        # gzip_buffers 16 8k;\n        # gzip_http_version 1.1;\n        # gzip_types text\/plain text\/css application\/json application\/x-javascript text\/xml application\/xml application\/xml+rss text\/javascript;\n\n        ##\n        # nginx-naxsi config\n        ##\n        # Uncomment it if you installed nginx-naxsi\n        ##\n\n        #include \/etc\/nginx\/naxsi_core.rules;\n\n        ##\n        # nginx-passenger config\n        ##\n        # Uncomment it if you installed nginx-passenger\n        ##\n\n        #passenger_root \/usr;\n        #passenger_ruby \/usr\/bin\/ruby;\n\n        ##\n        # Virtual Host Configs\n        ##\n\n        include \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/*.conf;\n        include \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/*;\n}\n\n\n#mail {\n#       # See sample authentication script at:\n#       # http:\/\/wiki.nginx.org\/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript\n#\n#       # auth_http localhost\/auth.php;\n#       # pop3_capabilities \"TOP\" \"USER\";\n#       # imap_capabilities \"IMAP4rev1\" \"UIDPLUS\";\n#\n#       server {\n#               listen     localhost:110;\n#               protocol   pop3;\n#               proxy      on;\n#       }\n#\n#       server {\n#               listen     localhost:143;\n#               protocol   imap;\n#               proxy      on;\n#       }\n#}\n\n<\/pre>\n
9. Under your home directory, create public_html and change owner to www-data. This will be your document root directory :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo mkdir public_html\/\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data public_html\/\n<\/pre>\n
10. Create index.php under document root directory :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo vim public_html\/index.php\n<\/pre>\n
Insert the following :<\/p>\n
\n<?php\nphpinfo();\n?>\n<\/pre>\n
11. Now it’s turn to setup your NGINX. Please modify the default site.<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo vim \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/default\n<\/pre>\n
Kindly update the root directory and comment out the required lines as below :<\/p>\n
\n# You may add here your\n# server {\n#\t...\n# }\n# statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file\n\n##\n# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding\n# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.\n# http:\/\/wiki.nginx.org\/Pitfalls\n# http:\/\/wiki.nginx.org\/QuickStart\n# http:\/\/wiki.nginx.org\/Configuration\n#\n# Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean\n# file but keep this around for reference.

12. Restart your nginx and php5-fpm service to take effect all changes :<\/p>\n
\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo service nginx restart\nehowstuff@ubuntu14:~$ sudo service php5-fpm restart\n<\/pre>\n
13. Test your NGINX site by visit http:\/\/IP-Adress :
