====== Joomla, Nginx, FastCGI ======

Взято здесь: http://docs.joomla.org/Nginx

===== Install nginx =====

For Ubuntu, run **aptitude install nginx**. For other distros, run the corresponding package manager, or see http://wiki.nginx.org/Install.

===== Install PHP FastCGI =====

For Ubuntu, read this excellent page on how to configure PHP and FastCGI for nginx.

For Gentoo, PHP will run as a FastCGI service (fpm), so the nginx server will run PHP asa different process:
<code>
# echo "dev-lang/php gd gd2 curl simplexml tokenizer dom tidy sqlite xml fpm cgi" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge php
</code>

The default settings of php-fpm are good for most servers. For special configuration visit the PHP FPM site.

===== Configure Nginx =====

nginx configuration files reside in:

  * /usr/local/nginx/conf/ on Ubuntu
  * /etc/nginx/nginx.conf on Gentoo

Here is an sample nginx configuration file.
<code>
server {
        listen 80;
        server_name YOUR_DOMAIN;
        server_name_in_redirect off;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log main;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log info;

        root PATH_ON_SERVER;
        index index.php;
        # Support Clean (aka Search Engine Friendly) URLs
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
        }

        index index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm;
        # deny running scripts inside writable directories
        location ~* /(images|cache|media|logs|tmp)/.*\.(php|pl|py|jsp|asp|sh|cgi)$ {
                return 403;
                error_page 403 /403_error.html;
        }

        location ~ .*.php$ {
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
            fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }

        # caching of files 
        location ~* \.(ico|pdf|flv)$ {
                expires 1y;
        }

        location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|swf|xml|txt)$ {
                expires 14d;
        }

}
</code>

Pay attention for few things:

The parameter **fastcgi_pass** is set to 127.0.0.1:9000, corresponding to the port that fpm is configured to listen to. This means you can run the PHP processes on separate servers. On Gentoo, you can find this configuration in /etc/php/fpm-php5.3/php-fpm.conf/

Don't forget to replace YOUR_DOMAIN & PATH_ON_SERVER depend on your domain and the path of Joomla on your server.

===== GZip support =====

If you need GZip compression support, add the following section to the http section of the main nginx configuration file:
<code>
        gzip on;
        gzip_http_version 1.1;
        gzip_comp_level 6;
        gzip_min_length 1100;
        gzip_buffers 4 8k;
        gzip_types text/plain application/xhtml+xml text/css application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascr$
        gzip_proxied     any;
        gzip_disable     "MSIE [1-6]\.";
</code>
