Setting up a Raspberry Pi NGINX PHP MySQL LEMP Stack
· 2 min read
sudo apt-get install php-fpm
Then check the version ```PERL $ php -v
You should see something like this
```PERL
PHP 7.0.16-1~bpo8+1 (cli) (built: Feb 18 2017 02:34:09) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.16-1~bpo8+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies
``` Then use these instructions to [setup PHP with Nginx](https:/www.digitalocean.comcommunitytutorialshow-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-in-ubuntu-16-04) Make sure to enable PHP in the Nginx config file, and ensure it is pointing to the correct location, for me that was
```PERL location ~ \.php$ \\\{ include snippetsfastcgi-php.conf; # # # With php5-cgi alone: # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # # With php5-fpm: fastcgi_pass unix:varrunphpphp7.0-fpm.sock; \\}
``` restart Nginx to pick up the new configuration
sudo nginx -s reload
Test it with a simple php page using `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` In order to serve extensionless html pages, update the try_files in the location block when setting up the sites-available server blocks config ```PERL
location \\{ try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404; \}
``` Install MySQL by following this tutorial again by [Ste Wright - Install MySQL Server on you Respberry Pi](https:/www.stewright.me201604install-mysql-server-raspberry-pi)
You should now have a working nginx server running PHP scripts, next time I will setup piwik so you can monitor the traffic to your website.
