This is guide howto install nginx, PHP 5.3 and FastCGI webserver with MySQL and/or PostgreSQL and Memcache support on Fedora 12 and Fedora 13, CentOS 5.5, Red Hat (RHEL) 5.5/6. nginx (engine x) is a robust, small and high performance http server, reverse proxy server and also mail proxy server. 1. Add and enable needed repositories: Updated 19.3.2010 Use following repositories to install nginx 0.8.xx version (currently 0.8.36 version) rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm rpm -Uvh http://yum.chrislea.com/centos/5/i386/chl-release-5-3.noarch.rpm rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CHL Just Epel repository is now obsolete, since there can be found only nginx 0.6.xx branch (currenlty version 0.6.39) Check this comment for more info.

This is a quick method to check with using cURL that Nginx/Apache (or any other web server) compression with Nginx ngx_http_gzip_module (gzip), Nginx google/ngx_brotli (br), Apache mod_brotli (br), Apache mod_gzip (gzip) and Apache mod_deflate (deflate) is working. Only the remote server headers are needed. Check that the Nginx/Apache Compression is Working Get headers curl -s -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: br,gzip,deflate' https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com -s option silent, disable progress bar. -I option which will make just HEAD request to server and get headers. -H option add header for accept content-encoding br, gzip and deflate.

This is guide howto install Nginx with PHP 7.2.12 and PHP-FPM on Fedora 29/28/27, CentOS 7.5/6.10 and Red Hat (RHEL) 7.5/6.10. PHP-FPM is easier to use and configure than FastCGI and some tests says that PHP-FPM is even much more efficient than FastCGI. Nginx (engine x) is a robust, small and high performance http server, reverse proxy server and also mail proxy server. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.

I wrote before a guide Howto install Nginx/PHP-FPM on Fedora 29/28, CentOS/RHEL 7.5/6.10, but this guide is just installation guide and many cases Nginx and PHP-FPM basic configuration is good enough, but if you want to squeeze all the juice out of your VPS or web server / servers and do your maintenance work little bit easier, then this guide might be useful. These tips are based entirely on my own experience, so they may not be an absolute truth, and in some situations, a completely different configuration may work better. It’s also good to remember leave resources for another services also if you run example, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Mail server, Name server and/or SSH server on same machine.

LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) server is extremely powerful setup behind any website or web based service. This guide is collection of Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL), Nginx, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP (PHP-FPM) install guides. This guide (more specifically this guide parts) try to explain in more detail LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP (PHP-FPM)) server environment installation. This howto can be used to pre-installed Linux, and instructions can be used for various Fedora and Red Hat based Linux distros with YUM. This guide is also usable with setup where MariaDB/MySQL databases, Nginx servers and even PHP-FPM are on different server machines. So you could have different servers to process MariaDB/MySQL queries, Web Server requests and PHP requests.
