Configuring Nginx | Nginx with Perl CGI
We will install Apache 2.2 and run it on port 8080 so it can receive PHP requests from Nginx.
Install Apache and mod_php
sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils
sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd \
php5-imagick php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl
Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add this line at the very bottom:
ServerName imacster.com
Edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf and change the port number from 80 to 8080
Listen 8080
Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now, configure Nginx to forward requests from .php scripts to Apache.
Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add these lines:
include /etc/nginx/apachemod.conf;
Create a file /etc/nginx/apachemod.conf and add these in the file:
location ~ .*\.(php)$ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}
Restart Nginx:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
See if Nginx serves PHP pages. Create a simple PHP script called info.php with these contents:
And navigate to http://imacster.com/info.php to see if it works.
Alternative to mod_php
- You can also run a FastCGI server and make Nginx serve PHP requests through FastCGI.
- Another alternative is making Nginx serve PHP pages by running PHP-FPM instead of spawn-fcgi. I have no tried it, but apparently PHP-FPM is more stable than spawn-fcgi.
