thank you for the tutorial. I just installed nginx & ISPConfig on my server, but I get an 500 Internal Error after uploading wordpress files and the .sql database in mysql.

I also tried to delete .htaccess, but it didn't help. The 500 Error appears on index, but I have no problem to access the admin backend of wordpress at domain/wp-admin...

Can someone please tell me what could fix it? 

Check your error.log in log/ directory of your site.

Disable "Own Error-Documents"

Thank you for posting this info.

If you want to use it using vagrant or install everything in your own server using puppet you can try https://github.com/meth/puppet-ispconfig/

All contributions are welcomed :) 

 

Why not munit in this guide? Is it apache only?

Hi,

This is the correct code for NGINX directives in Debian and ISPConfig.

First this is the code for http access without SSL:

 

#Configuration of phpMyAdmin

location /phpmyadmin/ {

   root /var/www/apps;               

   index index.php index.html index.htm;

     location ~ ^/(.+\.php)$ {

try_files $uri =404;                       

root /var/www/apps;

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

fastcgi_index index.php;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;

fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;

fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;

fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

      }

      location ~* ^/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {

 root /var/www/apps;

      }

 

}

location /phpMyAdmin {

   rewrite ^/* /phpmyadmin last;

}

 

#Finish configuration of phpMyAdmin

 

Second This is for phpmyadmin with SSL certificate:

 

#Configuration de phpMyAdmin

location /phpmyadmin/ {

   root /var/www/apps;               

   index index.php index.html index.htm;

     location ~ ^/(.+\.php)$ {

try_files $uri =404;                       

root /var/www/apps;

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

        fastcgi_param HTTPS $https; # <-- add this line

fastcgi_index index.php;

        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;

fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;

fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;

fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

      }

      location ~* ^/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {

 root /var/www/apps;

      }

      location ~* ^/{

          if ($scheme = http) {

   return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;

 }

      }

 

}

location /phpMyAdmin {

   rewrite ^/* /phpmyadmin last;

}

 

#Finish Configuration phpMyAdmin

This configuration is for people that setup the phpmyadmin on directory /var/www/apps and want to get load for each site without create a new site.

Kind Regards.

Please, abandon ntpdate in future: it has already created problems.

Perfect tutorial, except that I found "502 Bad Gateway" when I opened http://server1.example.com:8081/webmail 

To solve this problem, do this:

vi /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

and then change: 

; listen.owner = www-data; listen.group = www-data

to: 

listen.owner = www-datalisten.group = www-data

 

Hello and many thanks for your great tut(s)!

Just one question, don't know if I missed it: What's the servers names?

Mail: subdomain.domain.tld

Web: www.domain.tld

Thank you!

Thomas

The server name is the hostname of the server, in this tutorial we use server1.example.com. The hostname should always be a subdomain, so you should use e.g. server1.yorowndomain.tld

 

The website domain is the one that you enter when you create a website in ispconfig. this can be any domain or subdomain that points in dns to the IP address of this server. It is not related to the hostname.

My server: 8 CPU cores - 6 GB of RAM

I got too many 504 error.

Log looks like:

[error] 12753#0: *6193 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

In nginx.conf

...

fastcgi_read_timeout 300;

...

 

Please help

My current debian wheezy ISPconfig3 have Apache2 server. Is it possible to change webserver to NGINX as webserver and remove apache2 without breaking down my server ;) ?

nice, thanks :-) We used this tutorial in our bookstore.

Hello!

Can you please explain what is changed to the container when executing the command as documented in "21 Additional Notes"?

Is this also valid for LXC?

If yes, what's the equivalent for LXC?

 

THX

The command adds some required capabilities to the container. The command is not required or valid for LXC.

Hi,

very good tutorial. I have an issue with installation of IonCube. I installed it, and wrote the "zend_extension" line in my php.ini. The php-Info show me the zend Extension Banner, but my page don't work: "Site error: the file ****/****/***/index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so to be installed by the website operator. I restarted both nginx server and php-fpm a few times.

Anyone an idea how to make this working?

Sincerly

Debian has more than one php.ni. You have to add the line in the files /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini and /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

Parfait--- Perfect

@raspberry hack!

Thanks for the time you take to create this guide!

one of the things that don't tell you in this tutorial, is that once you created a username for mysql, or ftp, to look very carefull, that could not be the same as the one added, eg: adding username test for mysql becomes c1test. Other than this small detail, I think the tutorial could be improved here and there... but it's a good tutorial non the less :)..
