Hello Developers, Today in this post i will show you how we can get ready a server with Ngnix, MySQL and PHP(We will install PHP8.1 which is latest.)

i am running Ubuntu 22.04 Linux system with sudo (or root) privileged access, You should also run with root privilege.

Now, Open terminal and start following below steps.

Step 1 . Install Ngnix.

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

our system is updated now we will install ngnix.

$ sudo apt install nginx

Ngnix is installed, Now we will configure firewall , we will allow port 80 and port 443 .

$ sudo ufw allow 80/tcp

$ sudo ufw allow 43/tcp

Now open your IP in web browser you will see the out put, If any problem occurred please comment below i will solve soon.

Step 2 – Install PHP

As before i told you , we will install latest Version of PHP, This time when i am writing this post, Current version is PHP8.1, So i will install PHP8.1.

The ondrej/php ppa contains all PHP version’s for Ubuntu systems. So first we need to add this repository first.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Repository added now we are ready to install PHP.

sudo apt install php8.1

Note- You can also install any version of PHP like PHP 5.6, PHP 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and PHP 8.0, 8.1.

For PHP we need to Install and Configure PHP-FPM(FastCGI Process Manager).

$ sudo apt install php8.1-fpm

for a complete setup we need some additional packages to install on our system.

$ sudo apt install php8.1-mysql php8.1-curl php8.1-xml

Note- If you are want to use Laravel 9 to run on this system run the below command. This is install extension pf PHP.

$ sudo apt install openssl php-common php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-zip

Now configure the Ngnix to execute PHP file.

$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

and make changes which i am written below.

index index.php;

location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
}

Note- Please add index.php.

Step 3 – Install mysql
