Centos 6.2: PHP, MySQL and Nginx
Posted: 21 Jun 2012, 15:53pm - ThursdayI've been curious about the word nginx. A lot of posting about nginx. So I do a little research and found out its a HTTP server. So I tried my own research and experiment which all sample configuration can be found at nginx.org. For my experiment, I used Centos 6.2, PHP, MySQL and the Nginx. Here's you will do it to setup Web Server using Nginx; Download first the EPEL for Centos 6 (http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html or [download id="31"]) -- purpose for this is so you can install the per-requesites of Nginx like spawn-fcgi.
[root@server ~]# wget http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm [root@server ~]# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm [root@server nginx]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, protectbase, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.ipserverone.com * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk * extras: centos.ipserverone.com * updates: centos.ipserverone.com 0 packages excluded due to repository protections repo id repo name status base CentOS-6 - Base 6,294 epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 7,561 extras CentOS-6 - Extras 6 nginx nginx repo 23 updates CentOS-6 - Updates 1,147 repolist: 15,031Then install nginx.
[root@server ~]# yum -y install nginxInstall PHP, MySQL and other packages.
[root@server ~]# yum -y install php-pear-Net-Socket php-pear php-common php-gd php-devel php php-mbstring php-pear-Mail php-cli php-imap php-snmp php-pdo php-xml php-pear-Auth-SASL php-ldap php-pear-Net-SMTP php-mysqlInstall spawn-fgi
[root@server ~]# yum -y install spawn-fcgiDownload and setup the spawn-fcgi to init.d ([download id="32"])
[root@server ~]# wget http://bash.cyberciti.biz/dl/419.sh.zip [root@server ~]# unzip 419.sh.zip [root@server ~]# mv 419.sh /etc/init.d/php_cgi [root@server ~]# chmod +x /etc/init.d/php_cgiStart PHP app server and check if running
[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/php_cgi start [root@server ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep :9000 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1843/php-cgiConfigure nginx.conf for PHP based webserver for Wordpress, Drupal & Joomla (Download: [download id="33"]).

Restart Nginx
[root@server ~]# service nginx restartI think that's it.. it should be working because its working on my CentOS linux box. :) Reference:
