Installing nginx with PHP FPM on FreeBSD 8.x-9.0
Create a new user for the website
adduser
in the home directory for the user create a public_html directory. This is where your website files will live.
cd ~websiteusername
mkdir public_html
Change ownership of the directory to the user
chown websiteusername public_html
Install PCRE from ports
cd /usr/ports/devel/pcre
make install clean
Install PHP from ports
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
make install clean
Select FPM, CLI, CGI and SUHOSIN on the config screen.
cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini for a good place to start
Edit /etc/rc.conf to add php_fpm_enable="YES"
Install MySQL server from ports
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server
make install clean
normal options should be fine.
Edit /etc/rc.conf to add mysql_enable="YES"
Install nginx from ports
cd /usr/ports/www/nginx
make install clean
select HTTP options you think you might use, including gzip and HTTP_REWRITE
no need for email functions or proxy functions.
(I select all of the HTTP prefixed modules myself)
check out http://nginx.org/en/docs/ for more info on the modules.
Edit /etc/rc.conf to add nginx_enable="YES"
At this point you can fire up mysql and php-fpm to make sure both are working before we go farther into things.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm start
nginx needs to be configured before we start it.
edit /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Here is my config file for example
user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx_error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
#access_log logs/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
access_log /var/log/nginx_access.log main;
location / {
root /home/websiteusername/public_html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/websiteusername/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
# another virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration
#
#server {
# listen 8000;
# listen somename:8080;
# server_name somename alias another.alias;
# location / {
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
# HTTPS server
#
#server {
# listen 443;
# server_name localhost;
# ssl on;
# ssl_certificate cert.pem;
# ssl_certificate_key cert.key;
# ssl_session_timeout 5m;
# ssl_protocols SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1;
# ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
# ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
# location / {
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
}
Once you are done editing you can test your config
nginx -t
As long as the above test was successful, fire up nginx.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start
Create a basic /home/websiteusername/public_html/index.html file to test with.
Open up a browser and go to http://servername.domain.tld/ to see if you get your index.html file. If not, the log files that are relevant can be found in /var/log/nginx_access.log and /var/log/nginx_error.log.
I would like to thank SecaGuy at SecaServer for his article on nginx at http://blog.secaserver.com/2011/07/freebsd-nginx-php-fastcgi-installation/ which helped me particularly with the configuration file.
