First, Nginx is not like Apache or Lighttpd, it doesn’t support FastCGI by default. So, you need to be sure you’ve compiled the fcgi module with your PHP installation.

On Centos, to compile a new PHP, just launch: /scripts/easyapache

Then you’ll need to launch the FastCGI process, download this FastCGI script, place it in /usr/local/bin, and add it to your init.d.

At the end, you just need to configure your php server in nginx, that would be the most simple part:

  server {
      listen 80;
      server_name     blog.feevy.com;
      index           index.php;
      root            /home/wwwfeev/blog;

      if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite  ^(.*)$  /index.php?q=$1  last;
        break;
      }

      location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9999;
         fastcgi_index index.php;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
         fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
         fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
         fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
         fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
         fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
         fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
         fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
         fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  /home/wwwfeev/blog/$fastcgi_script_name;
         fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
         fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
         fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
         fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
      }
  }

• Edit ‘/etc/sysconfig/apache2‘, add ‘rewrite‘ to ‘APACHE_MODULES‘ parameter
• Edit ‘/etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf‘, add ‘LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_rewrite.so‘ to the list of modules
• Restart Apache server: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

• Wordpress: to keep information about different login/password, configuration and link to each tool.
• Torrentflux: a php bittorrent client, so anybody on the network can add torrent in it, and we can easily control the bandwith consumption.
  • Recommanded settings
  • Fix for mininova search engine
  • ‘Start/stop all downloads‘ hack
• MythTv: with all our media library in one place, anybody on the network can launch MythTv and access categorised movies/music
• Network File System

Any advice, tools to add to this configuration? Might be really great to use the NFS as a TimeMachine, and easily back all our important data this way.
