18-Jan-2012: Initial release.
Introduction.
For maintenance of our Home Server we need an internal web server. On this server we can install things for example like phpMyAdmin to have easy access to our MySQL server. We could also create a Intra-net server, but in a Home environment that is not so useful.
Installation.
Install all software that we need to run nginx on our Home Server:
[root@homsrv ~]# pacman -S nginx php-fpm php-gd php-mcrypt php-snmp fcgiwrap resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

# Upstream to abstract backend connection(s) for PHP.
upstream php {
server unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
}
upstream cgi {
server 127.0.0.1:9001;
}
server {
listen 10.126.160.253:80;
listen [2001:1af8:fecf:7ea0::fd]:80;

error_log logs/error_log;
index index.html index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi.conf;
fastcgi_pass php;
}
}
}
Now, for the first time start the server like this:
[root@homsrv ~]# mkdir -p /srv/http/htdocs [root@homsrv ~]# rc.d start php-fpm :: Checking configuration [DONE] :: Starting php-fpm [DONE] [root@homsrv ~]# rc.d start fcgiwrap :: Starting fcgiwrap daemon [DONE] [root@homsrv ~]# rc.d start nginx :: Checking configuration [DONE] :: Starting Nginx [DONE] [root@homsrv ~]#
If it all works, add php-fpm, fcgiwrap and nginx to /etc/rc.conf.
That’s it. In the support archive is a sample home page with some links to existing and feature utilities.
