nginx is a lightweight web server that powers 12.07% of web servers across all domains[1]. Unless you have specific requirements that demand a heavy web server like Apache, you are much better off using nginx.
Below are instructions on how to get Joomla! running with nginx and PHP via FastCGI.
Install nginx[edit]
For Ubuntu, run aptitude install nginx. For other distros, run the corresponding package manager, or see http://wiki.nginx.org/Install.
Install PHP FastCGI[edit]
For Ubuntu, read this excellent page on how to configure PHP and FastCGI for nginx.
For Gentoo, PHP will run as a FastCGI service (fpm), so the nginx server will run PHP as a separated process:
# echo "dev-lang/php gd gd2 curl simplexml tokenizer dom tidy sqlite xml fpm cgi" >> /etc/portage/package.use # emerge php
The default settings of php-fpm are good for most servers. For special configuration visit the PHP FPM site.
Configure Nginx[edit]
nginx configuration files reside in:
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/ on Ubuntu (for sites running on that nginx instance)
- /etc/nginx/nginx.conf on Gentoo and Raspbian(= Debian optimized for Raspberry Pi)
Here is an sample nginx configuration file joomla.conf that you can reuse over all your nginx enabled-sites
server { listen 80; server_name YOUR_DOMAIN; server_name_in_redirect off; access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log main; error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log info; root PATH_ON_SERVER; index index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm; # Support Clean (aka Search Engine Friendly) URLs location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } # deny running scripts inside writable directories location ~* /(images|cache|media|logs|tmp)/.*\.(php|pl|py|jsp|asp|sh|cgi)$ { return 403; error_page 403 /403_error.html; } location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf; } # caching of files location ~* \.(ico|pdf|flv)$ { expires 1y; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|swf|xml|txt)$ { expires 14d; } }
Pay attention for few things:
- The parameter fastcgi_pass is set to 127.0.0.1:9000, corresponding to the port that fpm is configured to listen to. This means you can run the PHP processes on separate servers. On Gentoo, you can find this configuration in /etc/php/fpm-php5.3/php-fpm.conf/
- Don't forget to replace YOUR_DOMAIN & PATH_ON_SERVER depend on your domain and the path of Joomla on your server.
GZip support[edit]
If you need GZip compression support, add the following section to the http section of the main nginx configuration file:
gzip on; gzip_http_version 1.1; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_min_length 1100; gzip_buffers 4 8k; gzip_types text/plain application/xhtml+xml text/css application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascr$ gzip_proxied any; gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
