Here’s a look at how I configured a LEMP server on Debian Jessie
Install nginx using command :
sudo apt-get install nginx sudo apt-get install php5 php5-fpm php5-mysql
This location will be your Document Root in the nginx virtual configuration file later on. By adding a -p to the line of code, the command automatically generates all the parents for the new directory.
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/zanca.it/www
We need to grant ownership of the directory to the right user, instead of just keeping it on the root system. You can replace the “www-data” below with the appropriate username.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/zanca.it/www
sudo vim /var/www/zanca.it/www/index.html
We can add some text to the file so we will have something to look at when the the site redirects to the virtual host.
<html>
<head>
<title>zanca.it</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Success: You Have Set Up a Virtual Host</h1>
</body>
</html>
The next step is to create a new file that will contain all of our virtual host information.
vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/zanca.it
server {
root /var/www/zanca.it/www;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/wp.dev.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/wp.dev.error.log;
server_name zanca.it;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Make a symbolic link to /site-enabled to enable it
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/zanca.it /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/zanca.it
To check if syntax works
sudo nginx -t
then
sudo service nginx restart
Now install MariaDB
apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
check it
mysql -V
secure it
mysql_secure_installation
I must stress that this is not recommended for a production environment.
To avoid this error in phpmyadmin
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
mysql -u root -p
At the mysql prompt enter the following:
use mysql; update user set plugin='' where User='root'; flush privileges; exit
and phpMyAdmin
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
