NginX, PHP, FastCGI

I added PHP to bbox512 nginx .

1. Preparation

For Debian/Ubuntu it needed FastCGI:

# apt-get install libfcgi0

2. RTFM

• Init-script for php-cgi in external FASTCGI Mode
• Nginx, PHP and a PHP FastCGI daemon init script
• bye Redskin, zdravstvujte Redstar

3. Installation

# cd /etc/default/
# wget -O php-fastcgi http://zhware.net/files/nginx/php-fastcgi.txt
# cd /etc/init.d/
# wget -O php-fastcgi http://zhware.net/files/nginx/php-fastcgi.rc.txt
# chmod 755 php-fastcgi
# cd /opt/nginx/conf/sites/
# wget -O static.conf http://zhware.net/files/nginx/sites/static.conf.txt
# /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi start
# kill -HUP `cat /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid`

In fact it’s just starting FastCGI PHP instances and making small changes to the sites/static.conf to process files with .php extension:

location ~ \.php$ {
  fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /opt/nginx/html$fastcgi_script_name;
  fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
  fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
  fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
  fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
}
