Nginx (pronounced “engine-x”) is an open source reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer, HTTP cache, and a web server (origin server). The nginx project started with a strong focus on high concurrency, high performance and low memory usage. It is licensed under the 2-clause BSD-like license and it runs on Linux, BSD variants, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, as well as on other *nix flavors. It also has a proof of concept port for Microsoft Windows.

Configure Nginx
Remove or disable Apache if existing:
Enable nginx and php-fm to start on boot:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.php-fpm chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx
Edit the Root Web directory (default is /var/www/html) in my case changed html to unixmen.
Configure PHP
vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
and
location / {
root /var/www/unixmen;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/unixmen;
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ .php$ {
root /var/www/unixmen;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/unixmen$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
save and exit.
Make Index.html on /var/www/unixmen.
cp /var/www/jtml/index /var/www/unixmen
Make phpinfo page:
vi /var/www/unixmen/info.php
and, add:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
save and exit.
Restart The Deamons:
root@slackwar14:/etc/nginx# /etc/rc.d/rc.php-fpm restart root@slackwar14:/etc/nginx# /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx restart
Now check the http page and php test page:
http://ip/info.php
Done.
