Installing nginx and php7 on Debian

Published by tex on November 10, 2016

First time, i will install nginx-extras (extended version of nginx):

root@vm02:~# apt-get install nginx-extras

 

Adding dotdeb to apt sources list:

root@vm02:~# echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

 

Installing curl and adding dotdeb key for apt:

root@vm02:~# apt-get install curl
root@vm02:~# curl http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg | apt-key add -
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  5299  100  5299    0     0  34043      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 34187
OK

 

Apt update and php7 installation:

root@vm02:~# apt-get update
root@vm02:~# apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-fpm php7.0-cli php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-geoip php7.0-intl php7.0-json
root@vm02:~# apt-get install php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-mysql php7.0-xml php7.0-xsl php7.0-zip

 

Testing php7 from CLI:

root@vm02:~# php -v
PHP 7.0.13-1~dotdeb+8.1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.13-1~dotdeb+8.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies
root@vm02:~#

 

I will remove the default vhost configuration from nginx and i will write a new one:

root@vm02:~# cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
root@vm02:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# rm default
root@vm02:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# nano default

 

‘default’ file content (write and save)

server {
     listen 80;
     server_name _;
     root /var/www;

# Main location
location / {
     root /var/www;
     index index.php index.html;
 }

# Pass php files to php-fpm unix socket
location ~ .php$ {
     fastcgi_keep_conn on;
     fastcgi_pass   unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
     fastcgi_index  index.php;
     fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
     include fastcgi_params;
 }

# Static files
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg|ico|css|less|xml|html?|swf|js|ttf)$ {
     root /var/www;
     expires 10y;
 }
}

 

Reload nginx and let’s test over web (point your browser at your ip address):

root@vm02:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# /etc/init.d/nginx reload
[ ok ] Reloading nginx configuration (via systemctl): nginx.service.
root@vm02:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# cd /var/www/
root@vm02:/var/www# echo "" > index.php

Looks ok!
