In this post, we are going post to explain installing nginx, PHP-fpm, mariadb on Centos 7. As a bouns, gonna add information on how to install wordpress on the host.

Installation:

Mariadb Installation:

Let’s start with adding mariadb repository. Create a MariaDB.repo on /etc/yum.repos.d directory with the below content.

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

# MariaDB 10.1 CentOS repository list – created 2016-08-25 16:09 UTC

# http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/

[mariadb]

name = MariaDB

baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64

gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB

gpgcheck=1

Nginx Installation:

Create a nginx repo on /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

[nginx]

name=nginx repo

baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/

gpgcheck=0

enabled=1

Install php-fpm and Dependencies:

Let’s install php-fpm and other php dependencies to run a php application on the host.

yum install php-fpm php-cli php-mysql php-gd php-ldap php-odbc php-pdo php-pecl-memcache php-pear php-mbstring php-xml php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-snmp php-soap

As a part of security, make expose_php to off on php.ini.

vi /etc/php.ini

expose_php = Off

We had done all the dependency installation. Now, its time to create a website on nginx. Starts with User creation.

useradd wordpress -d /var/www/wordpress

Uncomment the line listen = 127.0.0.1:9000 on /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

Uncomment/add the following line on /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
