LNMP stands for Linux, Nginx, MySQL and PHP. In this this article we will show you how to set up working Nginx server to host your websites on your VPS with CentOS 7 version.<\/p>\n

INSTALL NGINX<\/h3>\n

To proceed further login to your server via putty.
\nNginx package is not included in CentOS 7 by default, So we have to add Nginx yum repo\u00a0 by giving following command:<\/p>\n

\n
rpm -Uvh http:\/\/nginx.org\/packages\/centos\/7\/noarch\/RPMS\/nginx-release-\r\ncentos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Next, use the following simple command to install Nginx on CentOS 7.<\/p>\n
\n
yum install nginx \u2013y<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
You can test Nginx is up and running for the very first time using this command:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl start nginx.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now enable it to automatically run each time your server is booting:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl enable nginx.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
You can use your server IP to access it, Nginx default page should be seen there.
\nTo check Nginx installed version, you can sue following command:<\/p>\n
\n
nginx \u2013v<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
INSTALL PHP5-FPM<\/h3>\n
PHP can also be easily installed via YUM, This is a very basic command to install PHP 5 plus its modules.<\/p>\n
\n
yum install php php-mysql php-fpm<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
However, in some cases your apps or scripts (like WordPress and its many plugins) require other PHP modules, so you can simply use the following command:<\/p>\n
\n
yum install php php-fpm php-common php-cli php-devel \r\nphp-gd php-imap php-intl php-mysql php-process php-xml php-xmlrpc \r\nphp-zts \u2013y<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now we need to adjust some php configuration, edit the php.ini file using your favorite editor.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
nano \/etc\/php.ini<\/pre>\n
Then look for the line with cgi.fix_pathinfo<\/strong>. Remove the ;<\/strong> and set this value to 0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Once done, save file and exit the editor.
\nNext, edit php-fpm configuration<\/strong> file:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
nano \/etc\/php-fpm.d\/www.conf<\/pre>\n
and edit the line Listen = 127.0.0.1:9000<\/strong> replace whit this:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
listen = \/var\/run\/php-fpm\/php-fpm.sock<\/pre>\n
Also find the section called \u201cUnix\/user group of processes\u201d<\/strong> then change Apache to Nginx.
\nOnce done, save and exit.<\/p>\n
Now start php-fpm using following command:<\/p>\n
\n
Systemctl enable php-fpm.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
NGINX (CONFIGURATION)<\/h3>\n
Open and edit the default Nginx (virtual hosts file) configuration file using your favorite editor:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Nano \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/default.conf<\/pre>\n
Now add an index.php as the first value of index directive to allow PHP index files to be served when a directory is requested:
\nAlso change the structure from this:
\n\"nginx\"
\nTo this:<\/p>\n
\"Nginx2\"<\/p>\n
Also change the server_name directive to point to your server\u2019s domain name or public IP address.
\nUncomment some lines that define error processing routines especially error 404.<\/p>\n
Then scroll down and find a section that says \u201cpass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000\u201d un-comment the lines and make changes as follows:<\/p>\n
\n
location ~ \\.php$ {\r\n    try_files $uri =404;\r\n    fastcgi_pass unix:\/var\/run\/php-fpm\/php-fpm.sock;\r\n    fastcgi_index index.php;\r\n    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\r\n    include fastcgi_params;\r\n}<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Save and exit and now restart the Nginx services so the changes can be applied:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl restart nginx.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now create info.php page to check that Nginx and php-fpm can process any php script:<\/p>\n
\n
echo \"<?php phpinfo(); ?>\" > \/usr\/share\/nginx\/html\/info.php<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Next, open p newly created file into your browser.<\/p>\n
INSTALL MARIADB<\/h3>\n
It is time to install MariaDB server. The command is simple and done via yum:<\/p>\n
\n
yum install mariadb-server mariadb \u2013y<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Start MariaDB service using systemctl command:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl start mariadb.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
and enable it on boot:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl enable mariadb.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Configure MariaDB setup like setting up your MySQL root password. Issue this command:<\/p>\n
\n
mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
You will see a serious of questions, Just answer them accordingly. The main important part is to define your root password.
\nNow test your newly installed MariaDB by logging in as root:<\/p>\n
\n
mysql -u root \u2013p<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
INSTALL PHPMYADMIN<\/h3>\n
This PhpMyadmin package is not available in CentOS 7.0 default repositories. So you have to add third-party repo like EPEL. Simply run this command to do that:<\/p>\n
\n
wget http:\/\/download.fedoraproject.org\/pub\/epel\/beta\/7\/x86_64\/epel-\r\nrelease-7-0.2.noarch.rpm\r\nrpm -ivh epel-release*\r\nrm epel-release*<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now use yum to install phpmyadmin:<\/p>\n
\n
yum install phpmyadmin \u2013y<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now to make PhpMyAdmin accessible via web, you have to create a symbolic link from the PMA installation files to your Nginx document root directory using this command:<\/p>\n
\n
ln -s \/usr\/share\/phpMyAdmin \/usr\/share\/nginx\/html<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now restart php-fpm:<\/p>\n
\n
systemctl restart php-fpm.service<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
That\u2019s it. Now you can test it on your browser:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/ip-or-domain name\/phpMyAdmin<\/strong> and default login page of phpMyAdmin should be displayed.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all about LNMP setup on CentOS 7.
