Nginx setup

Nginx setup

Install Required Packages (Pre-requisite php & project required directory should be installed)
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install nginx php5-cli php5-cgi spawn-fcgi
Now we will do the fastcgi configuration with nginx. In this we are going to use tcp socket base communication.
i. Start fastcgi deamon
/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -g www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi -P /var/run/php-cgi.pid -C 6
ii. You can use below script to start fastcgi process
#!/bin/bash
COMMAND=/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi
NAME=php5-cgi
ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
PORT=9000
USER=www-data
GROUP=www-data
PHPCGI=/usr/bin/php5-cgi
PIDFILE=/var/run/php5-cgi.pid
CHILDREN=6
PHP5=/usr/bin/php5-cgi
case "$1" in
start)
$COMMAND -a $ADDRESS -p $PORT -u $USER -g $GROUP -f $PHPCGI -P /var/run/$NAME.pid -C $CHILDREN
echo -n "$NAME started with pid "
echo `cat /var/run/$NAME.pid`
;;
stop)
if [ -e /var/run/$NAME.pid ]
then
killall php5-cgi
rm /var/run/$NAME.pid
echo "$NAME stopped"
else
echo "$NAME is not running, no pid file in /var/run/php-fastcgi"
fi
;;
restart)
killall php5-cgi
rm /var/run/$NAME.pid
echo "$NAME stopped"
$COMMAND -a $ADDRESS -p $PORT -u $USER -g $GROUP -f $PHPCGI -P /var/run/$NAME.pid -C $CHILDREN
echo -n "$NAME started with pid "
echo `cat /var/run/$NAME.pid`
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL

Create Virtualhost in nginx
vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/example
server {
listen 80;
server_name crpt.crucibleapp.com;
root /var/www/;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$
fastcgi_script_name;include        fastcgi_params;
}
}
