Configure default site block (replace domain with actual domain name):<\/p>\n
# nano \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/default.conf\nserver {\n    listen       80;\n    server_name  domain.com;\n\n    # note that these lines are originally from the "location \/" block\n    root   \/home\/domain\/public_html;\n    index index.php index.html index.htm;\n\n    location \/ {\n        try_files $uri $uri\/ \/index.php?q=$uri&$args;\n    }\n    error_page 404 \/404.html;\n    error_page 500 502 503 504 \/50x.html;\n    location = \/50x.html {\n        root \/usr\/share\/nginx\/html;\n    }\n\n    location ~ \\.php$ {\n        try_files $uri =404;\n        fastcgi_pass unix:\/var\/run\/php-fpm\/php-fpm.sock;\n        fastcgi_index index.php;\n        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\n        include fastcgi_params;\n    }\n\n    location ~* \\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {\n        expires 30d;\n        add_header Cache-Control "public, no-transform";\n   }\nlocation ~* \\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {\nexpires 365d;\n}\n\nlocation ~* \\.(pdf|css|html|js|swf)$ {\nexpires 2d;\n}\n\n}\n\n<\/pre>\n
Change apache listening port and any other “.conf” files for virtual domains to listen on port 8080:<\/p>\n
# nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\nListen 8080\n<\/pre>\n
Restart apache:<\/p>\n
#systemctl restart httpd\n<\/pre>\n
Restart ngnix:<\/p>\n
#systemctl restart nginx\n<\/pre>\n
Test gzip:<\/p>\n
curl -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" -I http:\/\/localhost\/test.html\nHTTP\/1.1 200 OK\nServer: nginx\/1.10.2\nDate: Fri, 15 Sep 2017 00:45:27 GMT\nContent-Type: html\nLast-Modified: Thu, 08 Jun 2017 16:46:42 GMT\nConnection: keep-alive\nVary: Accept-Encoding\nETag: W\/"59397f72-4ddf"\nContent-Encoding: gzip\n\n<\/pre>\n
Install php handler<\/p>\n
# yum install php php-mysql php-fpm\n<\/pre>\n
Configure the PHP Processor:<\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/php.ini\n<\/pre>\n
Uncomment and set from 1 to 0:<\/p>\n
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0\n<\/pre>\n
Next, open the php-fpm configuration file www.conf:<\/p>\n
\n# nano \/etc\/php-fpm.d\/www.conf\n\n<\/pre>\n
Find the line that specifies the listen parameter, and change it so it looks like the following:<\/p>\n
\n\/etc\/php-php.d\/www.conf \nlisten = \/var\/run\/php-fpm\/php-fpm.sock\n\n<\/pre>\n
Next, find the lines that set the listen.owner and listen.group and uncomment them. They should look like this:<\/p>\n
\n\/etc\/php-php.d\/www.conf\nlisten.owner = nobody\nlisten.group = nobody\n\n<\/pre>\n
Lastly, find the lines that set the user and group and change their values from “apache” to “nginx”:<\/p>\n
\n\/etc\/php-php.d\/www.conf\nuser = nginx\ngroup = nginx\nThen save and quit.\n\n<\/pre>\n
Now, we just need to start our PHP processor by typing:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl start php-fpm\n\n<\/pre>\n
This will implement the change that we made.<\/p>\n
Next, enable php-fpm to start on boot:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl enable php-fpm\n\n<\/pre>\n
Restart Nginx to make the necessary changes:<\/p>\n
\n# systemctl restart nginx\n\n<\/pre>\n
Test PHP Processing on your Web Server<\/p>\n
Create an info php in the root directory:<\/p>\n
# nano \/home\/domain\/public_html\/info.php\n<\/pre>\n
Open in a web browser:
\nhttp:\/\/domain.com\/info.php
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
This page basically gives you information about your server from the perspective of PHP. It is useful for debugging and to ensure that your settings are being applied correctly.<\/p>\n
If this was successful, then your PHP is working as expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
