Puh I managed to set up a LEMP stack on Debian 8 (Jessie) LEMP is a server where Apache has been replaced with
nginx (pronounced engine X).
Nginx is faster (for static content) and much lighter than Apache but the main reason for developing it was the 10K problem. 10000 concurrent clients will cause serious problems and demand heavy duty hardware investments. The point with Nginx was to handle this with the Software architecture.
Today you can save your money and use Nginx instead of upgrading your hardware.
So I followed
this descriptionwith some small changes. I did not want to have my server in /var/www/html so I altered that in
/etc/nginx/sites-available/defaultCode: Select all
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /home/berserk/public_html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/html;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}The server runs fine php and mysql works but the main problem always occurs when you want to import that great big database - like this forum - into Mysql.
So I followed my own advice
here I dropped (aka gave up on) phpmyadmin and decided to use Adminer.
The difference is that the php.ini file is in
/etc/php5/fpm/ (used) and in /etc/php5/cli/ (not in use afaict) but I edited both.
But nginx still reported to big a file.
Solution:I had to enter a line into
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the http section:
(This value has to be higher than the size of your database)
Rebooted and....
I could import this forum to the mysql database in Debian 8.
