1. DRUPAL, NGINX AND VAGRANT DRUPAL DUNDEE - JANUARY 2014 ! ! BY YVES LAROCHE
2. WHY NGINX?
3. –Chris Lea “Apache is like Microsoft Word, it has a million options but you only need six. Nginx does those six things, and it does five of them 50 times faster than Apache.”
4. WHY NGINX? ! • Event-driven → lower memory consumption • Serves static files faster • PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) easier to set- up • Default Apache (version 2.2) is old
5. DRAWBACKS • No .htaccess support • Most web applications come with Apache configuration files • Need to compile nginx from source to add modules
6. DRUPAL ON NGINX 1. Install using repository for Debian/Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL: http://wiki.nginx.org/Install 2. Install PHP-FPM. Works with TCP/IP or UNIX sockets 3. Basic configuration: http://wiki.nginx.org/Drupal 4. Copy to /etc/nginx/sites-available/yoursite.com.conf 5. $ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yoursite.com.conf /etc/ nginx/sites-enabled/yoursite.com.conf 6. $ sudo service nginx reload # Parses the config → safer
