You can set up an LNMP environment (Linux + Nginx + MySQL + PHP) on Ubuntu system by following these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install Nginx:
    \nExecute the following command in the terminal to install Nginx.<\/li>\n
  2. Update using sudo apt and install nginx.<\/li>\n
  3. To install MySQL:
    \nExecute the following command in the terminal to install MySQL:<\/li>\n
  4. Install mysql-server using the following command: sudo apt install mysql-server.<\/li>\n
  5. Install PHP:
    \nRun the following command in the terminal to install PHP and its related plugins:<\/li>\n
  6. Install php-fpm and php-mysql with administrative privileges using the apt command.<\/li>\n
  7. Set up Nginx:
    \nCreate a Nginx configuration file, such as \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/example.com, and add the following content to it:<\/li>\n
  8. server {
    \n Port 80 is listening on the server for the domain example.com, with the root directory set to \/var\/www\/html. The index files to be served are index.php, index.html, and index.htm.<\/p>\n

    For the root location \/, the server will attempt to serve the requested URI or directory, falling back to index.php if it’s a file or folder.<\/p>\n

    Requests for PHP files will be passed to PHP-FPM through the fastcgi protocol.<\/li>\n

  9. Then execute the following command to enable the configuration file and reload Nginx:<\/li>\n
  10. Create a symbolic link from \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/example.com to \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/, check the Nginx configuration, and then reload Nginx.<\/li>\n
  11. Test LNMP environment:
    \nCreate a file named index.php in the directory \/var\/www\/html with the following content:<\/li>\n
  12. Retrieve information about the PHP configuration by displaying the PHP information.<\/li>\n
  13. Then, visit http:\/\/example.com in your browser. If you see the PHP information page, it means the LNMP environment has been successfully set up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The process of setting up an LNMP environment on the Ubuntu system has been completed. If there are any questions, feel free to ask me at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
