What is Memcached?
Free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.

Wordpress API — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:53:54 +0000

http://wordpressapi.com/2010/02/10/install-nginx-php-ubuntu/

For this tutorial I am using the Ubuntu 8.10 linux version.

Install Nginx
# sudo apt-get install nginx

If apache server is installed on your machine then please stop the apache server first.

#sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

#sudo update-rc.d nginx defaults

Install PHP5

#sudo apt-get install php5-cgi php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-ming php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl

Open the PHP.ini file

#sudo vim /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

Insert following line at the end of php.ini file
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Install the lighttpd server

#sudo apt-get install lighttpd

You will see an error message saying that lighttpd couldn’t start because port 80 is already in use.

For removing the error message use following command

#sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd remove

Start the FastCGI daemon service

#sudo /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -g www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi -P /var/run/fastcgi-php.pid

If you want run following command whenever you boot the system. Open following file.

#sudo vim /etc/rc.local

Copy paste following following lines in file.

/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -g www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi -P /var/run/fastcgi-php.pid

Configuration Nginx

#sudo vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Just copy paste the following code in end of httpd block. Dont paste outside of http block.

server {
listen 80;
server_name _;

access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;

location / {
root /var/www/nginx-default;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}

location /doc {
root /usr/share;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}

location /images {
root /usr/share;
autoindex on;
}

#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/nginx-default;
}

# 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$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/nginx-default$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache’s document root
# concurs with nginx’s one
#
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}

Just restart the Nginx server.

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost.localdomain;
# access_log logs/site.access.log;

location / {

index index.php;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+?(/wp-.*) /$1 last;
rewrite ^.+?(/.*\.php)$ /$1 last;
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
break;
}

location = /50x.html {
fastcgi_pass localhost:9999;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;

Solved:trailing slash issue with Nginx server

Wordpress API — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:19:31 +0000

http://wordpressapi.com/2009/12/16/solved-trailing-slash-issue-with-nginx-server/

I added following block in my nginx.conf file. You should add following lines in your server { } block.

If you want use URL without ending trailing slash. then use following code.

#code block added for trailing slash issue solving

server_name_in_redirect off;

optimize_server_names off;

dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;

dav_access group:rw all:r;

create_full_put_path on;

if (-d $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ break; }

if ($request_method = MKCOL) { rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ break; }

Above code will check if folder is present then fetch data from there. If you have some idea about MKCOL then you will know above code in better way.

If Your problem will not solved from above code then use following code.

#here we are adding trailing slash end of Url

if ($request_uri ~* “^[\w\-\/]+[^\/?]$”) {rewrite ^(.*)$ $scheme://$host$1/ permanent;}

This will add the ending slash to your url.

How to use hosts file on Mac, Windows and Linux

Wordpress API — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:31:08 +0000

http://wordpressapi.com/2009/11/04/how-to-use-hosts-file-on-mac-windows-and-linux/

The hosts file is a computer file used by an operating system to map hostnames to IP addresses.
On many operating systems, the host file content is used preferentially over other methods,
such as the Domain Name System (DNS). Unlike DNS, the hosts file is under the control of the local computer’s administrator

Locate the file “Hosts” on your computer:
Windows
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Linux
/etc/hosts or /etc/host.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf

Symbian
C:\system\data\hosts

Mac OS
/private/etc/hosts or /etc/hosts

In that file you can edit entry like this

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost yourlocaldomain.com , example.com
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.2.200 intranet

directory.example.com 71.155.186.91

Compress the server response with Nginx

Wordpress API — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:31:37 +0000

http://wordpressapi.com/2009/07/02/compress-the-server-response-with-nginx/

Maybe you aware with apache “mod_gzip and mod deflate”

Web page compression is not a new technology, but it has recently gained higher recognition in the minds of IT administrators and managers because of the rapid ROI it generates. Compression extensions exist for most of the major Web server platforms

For Apache Normally use following syntax:
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.js$ mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^text/css$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.shtml$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/html$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.txt$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/plain$

mod_gzip_item_include file \.css$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/css$

We used gzip and compressing files technology with various browers. You need following browser support for this.

Accept-encoding: gzip
Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate

For Nginx i used following code in Nginx.conf file:
# Compression of response time gzip on; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_comp_level 9; gzip_http_version 1.0; gzip_min_length 0; gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css image/x-icon image/png image/jpg image/jpeg text/js text/php; gzip_vary on;
