Advanced web server setup (Apache2 + Nginx)

In this guide, we will consider the procedure for installing and configuring the operation of two web servers in order to take advantage of each of them; the guide implies both separate configuration and mutual.

This article will talk about setting up a server using: Apache2, Nginx, ngx_pagespeed, PHP, PHP-FPM, MariaDB and MemCached .

Nginx

HTTP server and reverse proxy, mail proxy, and general purpose TCP / UDP proxy.

Installation

Install the packages required to connect the apt repository:

sudo apt install curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release

To connect the apt repository for the stable version of nginx, run the following command:

echo "deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` nginx" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list

Now you need to import the official key used by apt to authenticate packages:

curl -fsSL https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -

Check if the correct key was imported:

sudo apt-key fingerprint ABF5BD827BD9BF62

The command output should contain the complete key fingerprint 573B FD6B 3D8F BC64 1079 A6AB ABF5 BD82 7BD9 BF62:

pub   rsa2048 2011-08-19 [SC] [expires: 2024-06-14]
      573B FD6B 3D8F BC64 1079  A6AB ABF5 BD82 7BD9 BF62
uid   [ unknown] nginx signing key

To install nginx, run the following commands:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install nginx

Customization

Launch nginx

systemctl enable nginx && systemctl start nginx

Check that the user nginx user www-data:

vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

-. http://«IP- ».

«Welcome to nginx!».

PHP-FPM

FastCGI — - . FPM Fastcgi Process Manager.

PHP-FPM:

apt-get install php-fpm

php-fpm :

systemctl enable php7.3-fpm && systemctl start php7.3-fpm

, php-fpm 7.2. — php php -v.

ngx_pagespeed

ngx_pagespeed ( pagespeed) – Nginx, . .

:

sudo apt-get install unzip gcc make g++ libpcre3-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential libpcre3 uuid-dev

, ngx_pagespeed:

mkdir /etc/nginx/build
cd /etc/nginx/build

nginx:

nginx -v

:

wget -qO - http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.18.0.tar.gz | tar zxfv -

nginx 1.18

ngx_pagespeed:

git clone https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed.git

cd ngx_pagespeed/

git checkout tags/latest-stable

cat PSOL_BINARY_URL

psol:

psol_url=https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/${NPS_VERSION}.tar.gz [ -e scripts/format_binary_url.sh ] && psol_url=$(scripts/format_binary_url.sh PSOL_BINARY_URL)

wget ${psol_url}
tar zxf 1.13.35.2-x64.tar.gz

ngx_pagespeed.so:

cd ../nginx-1.18.0/

./configure --add-dynamic-module=../ngx_pagespeed --with-compat

make

ls objs/*so

ngx_pagespeed.so:

cd objs
cp ngx_pagespeed.so /etc/nginx/modules

Apache2

Create a folder to store the cache:

mkdir /var/cache/nginx_pagespeed/
chown www-data:www-data /var/cache/nginx_pagespeed/

We check the Nginx configuration and apply the settings:

nginx -t
nginx -s reload
