I currently get a warning on Wordpress saying I am on an insecure version of PHP (7.3.3).
I've been trying to follow the instructions on the following page to update the version to PHP 8.1.
https://www.cloudbooklet.com/how-to-install-or-upgrade-php-8-1-on-ubuntu-20-04/
I was able to install and enable php8.1 but stuck with the remaining steps. The article tells me to update a few lines in the location block of a conf file but I can't find it.
I looked at files like wordpress_https conf but could only find lines like this:
location ~ \.php(?:$|/) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
Any pointers on where I need to update the reference to php8.1? It's nginx server on Obuntu 20.04. It's for a Wordpress application installed on Vultr. Thanks.
Try this in your site' nginx config file. Comment out everything in your file or just backup the file and try this.
upstream php {
server unix:/tmp/php-cgi.socket;
server php:9000;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name example.test www.example.test;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/example.test.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/example.test-key.pem;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass php;
}
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
}
#The only job of this block is to redirect http to https
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.test www.example.test;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
Depending on your OS, the nginx config file for your website will either be in /etc/nginx/conf.d or in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ .
The above configuration was taken from this WordPress docker dev env.
After making the edits in the correct conf file, test nginx:
sudo nginx -t
If all is well in the conf file restart nginx based on your system i.e :
sudo service nginx restart
If this works for you, ensure you search for more security details you can add in your configuration to improve it. If it does not work for you, you can generate WP specifc Nginx configurations using DigitalOcean.
Is it possible to run a Laravel app on two separated server, one with NGINX, another with PHP-FPM?
I wanted to create an upstream of PHP-FPM servers for load balancing. I've tried some NGINX configurations but it seems that both NGINX and PHP-FPM needs Laravel app files.
Note: I have separate server for static files.
[user] -request-> [nginx without laravel files] -> [php-fpm upstream with laravel files]
UPDATE
upstream php_pool {
server 192.168.1.1:9000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
index index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/q_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/q_error.log info;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/index.php /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
index index.php;
fastcgi_pass php_pool;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
I don't know what should i set for root directory cause there isn't any Laravel app files in that server. And how config \.php$ location properly?
We found solution for our scenario. PHP location should be like this:
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass php_pool;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/app/public$fastcgi_script_name;
}
With this change (SCRIPT_FILENAME) there isn't need for Laravel app files to be on the NGINX server cause all PHP requests will proxied to PHP-FPM servers.
I use Mail-in-a-Box and want to use PHP on my Website. According to https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/is-atleast-being-able-to-toggle-php-planned/288/4 using PHP for part of the site that is responsable for the mail(Roundcube) and the main site could open security vunerability. I want to consider this advises and would for example let my server process my main site in another php process.(Or something similar...)
Note: I dont know very much about php
Here is a snippet of the nginx configuration that miab uses to enable php on specific parts of the website.
upstream php-fpm {
server unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
...
location ~ /mail/.*\.php {
# note: ~ has precendence over a regular location block
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^/mail(/.*)()$;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/lib/roundcubemail/$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass php-fpm;
# Outgoing mail also goes through this endpoint, so increase the maximum
# file upload limit to match the corresponding Postfix limit.
client_max_body_size 128M;

I am trying to configure nginx to serve PHP from another server.
The files can be located within a directory under /sample on the other server
Fast CGI is running on port 9000 on the other server
Here is what I have tried, which is not working at the moment.
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
proxy_pass http://192.168.x.xx;
proxy_redirect http://192.168.x.xx /sample;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name)
{
return 404;
}
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_read_timeout 150;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
I also need to configure nginx to serve static files from the same server
The following configuration does exactly what you need:
server {
listen 80;
index index.php index.html;
server_name localhost;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
root {STATIC-FILES-LOCATION};
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass {PHP-FPM-SERVER}:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
All you have to do is replace {STATIC-FILES-LOCATION} with the location of your static files on the Nginx server and {PHP-FPM-SERVER} with the IP of the PHP-FPM server.
This way you will serve all files without the PHP extension statically from the Nginx server and all the PHP files will be interpreted with the PHP-FPM server.
Here's a working example of a dockerised version of what you are trying to achieve - https://github.com/mikechernev/dockerised-php/. It serves the static files from Nginx and interprets the PHP files via the PHP-FPM container. In the accompanying blog post (http://geekyplatypus.com/dockerise-your-php-application-with-nginx-and-php7-fpm/) I go in lengths about the whole connection between Nginx and PHP-FPM.
EDIT: One important thing to keep in mind is that the paths in both the Nginx and PHP-FPM servers should match. So you will have to put your php files in the same directory on the PHP-FPM server as your static files on the Nginx one ({STATIC-FILES-LOCATION}).
An example would be to have /var/www/ on Nginx holding your static files and /var/www on PHP-FPM to hold your php files.
Hope this helps :)
You don't have to use proxy_ directives, because they work with HTTP protocol, but in this case FastCGI protocol is used. Also, as it was said in comments, no need for if statement, because Nginx server cannot determine if the file on a remote server exists.
You could try this configuration:
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_read_timeout 150;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_pass 192.168.x.xx:9000; #not 127.0.0.1, because we must send request to remote PHP-FPM server
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/site/root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
You will need to replace /path/to/site/root with a real path on the PHP-FPM server. For example, if the request http://example.com/some/file.php must be handled by /var/www/some/file.php, then set it like this:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
Also, to make PHP-FPM server be able to receive requests from outside, edit your FPM pool configuration (on Debian it usually located in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf, on Centos - /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf):
Replace
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
with:
listen = 9000
or:
listen = 192.168.x.xx:9000 # FPM server IP
Probably you will also need to edit allowed_clients directive:
listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1,192.168.y.yy # Nginx server IP
I also need to configure nginx to serve static files from the same server
If I understand correctly, and you want to serve static files from the server, Nginx is working on, then you may just add another location to your Nginx configuration.
You should not use proxy_* directives. using Nginx as a proxy would be done only if a distant server has rendered the page (and you would request it with HTTP protocol).
Here the thing you want to proxy is a fastcgi server, not an HTTP server.
So the key is:
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
Where you currently say you want to reach a fastcgi server on IP 127.0.0.1 port 900, which seems quite wrong.
Use instead:
fastcgi_pass 192.168.x.xx:9000;
And remove proxy_* stuff.
Edit: also, as stated in comments by #Bart, you should not use an if testing that a local file in the document root, matching the php script name does exists. The php files are not on this server. So remove this file.
If you want to apply some security check, you would, later, alter your very generic location [^/]\.php(/|$) to something more specific, like location=/index\.php, or some others variations.
No need to give /sample path
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
# Mitigate https://httpoxy.org/ vulnerabilities
fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY "";
fastcgi_pass IP:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
For static files from nginx server you need to use try_files for that.
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
// other CGI parameters
}
Make sure you're aware of common pitfalls.
If you want to access static files from another server you need to run a webserver there and just proxy pass from Nginx
i'm trying to setup nginx on my vps and i made it however when i'm try to use .php files it download then instead of runing them. This is my nginx.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name site;
root /var/www/;
index index.php index.html;
}
Any ideas how to fix it?
(i have php5-fpm installed)
For pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI you must add this into server config:
location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
You really need to enable php-cgi/fast-cgi or -cli depending on your server/vps configuration.
