2. Integrate Nginx + PHP
Nginx communicates with PHP via php-cgi.exe
2.1 Start PHP at 127.0.0.1:9999
Terminal
c:\php7.1.10>php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9999
2.2 Edit Nginx conf file.
C:\nginx-1.12.1\conf\nginx.conf
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
# Declares here, so that $document_root is able to find php files
root www;
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
}
# For PHP files, pass to 127.0.0.1:9999
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
}
2.3 Create a C:\nginx-1.12.1\www folder.
2.4 Create a simple PHP file and put it into the www folder.
C:\nginx-1.12.1\www\print.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
2.5 Start Nginx
Terminal
C:\nginx-1.12.1> start nginx
3. Demo
http://localhost/print.php
Done.
Thanks this worked well for me
Great solution.
Working. So much faster then Apache o. Windows.
thx sir
not working do not try it.
It did well !!
But my little Q is how to stop php service???
Merci pour votre aide.
This will serve the print.php but not index.php for an application.
To serve your app the first location block needs to be
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
In step 2.2 what does this mean? “fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;” is the first SCRIPT_FILENAME a variable?
Thanks,
nginx is running, but not serving. why???
Thanks, its works very well!
