Note: You will need to install Nginx below first before starting PHP-FPM. Now create the directory for the socket file mkdir /var/run/php73-fpmĬhange file permissions of the sessions directory so PHP sessions work properly chown -R nginx:nginx /var/opt/remi/php73/lib/php/sessionĪfter installing NGINX we can start PHP-FPM, if we try now it will give an error since the nginx system user is not created yet systemctl restart php73-php-fpm Now edit the same file again, near the top of the configuration you will need to change the following nano /etc/opt/remi/php73/php-fpm.d/www.conf (Remove semicolons and change 'nobody' to 'nginx') Now edit the same file, lower in the configuration you will need to change the following nano /etc/opt/remi/php73/php-fpm.d/www.conf With: listen = /var/run/php73-fpm/php73-fpm.sock Now we need to edit the configuration for PHP-FPM nano /etc/opt/remi/php73/php-fpm.d/www.conf We need to edit the php.ini config for this PHP installation (you can use any text editor, we prefer nano, we're cooler than vim'ers) nano /etc/opt/remi/php73/php.ini Run update then install the PHP packages yum update -y Note: You can change php73 to php72 (or other versions) throughout this guide to use a different PHP version if the one here doesn't support modules needed by you. Install Epel and Remi repositories yum install -y Įnable Remi repository yum-config-manager -enable remi-php73 Install yum-utils for the yum-config-manager tool yum install -y yum-utils We've tested ours and guarantee it works in this environment. Many installation scripts that manage Nginx for you or other guides may give you steps on how to install an outdated version, which may be lacking critical security update or performance changes, or a PHP configuration that renders server errors in browsers. But many people have a hard time getting everything working properly, and with good reason. NGINX is superior to most other web servers in regards to performance, potential to mitigate attacks, and resource usage.
