add_php_site_to_nginx.md

Here's how you can do it:

1. Create a New Server Block Configuration File: First, create a new Nginx server block configuration file for your subdomain. You can create this file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory. Replace subdomain.example.com with your actual subdomain:

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/subdomain.example.com

2. Configure the Server Block: Inside the new server block configuration file, define the configuration for your subdomain. Here's a simplified example:

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name subdomain.example.com;
   
       root /var/www/subdomain.example.com;  # Change this to the appropriate directory
   
       index index.php index.html index.htm;
   
       location / {
           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
       }
   
       location ~ \.php$ {
           include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
           fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;  # Adjust the path accordingly
       }
   }

   Modify the server_name, root, and FastCGI settings as needed for your setup.

3. Create a Symbolic Link: Create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory to enable the new site:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/subdomain.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

   To remove the symbolic link, you can use this command:

   sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/subdomain.example.com

4. Test Configuration and Restart Nginx: Test the Nginx configuration for syntax errors:

   sudo nginx -t

   If the test is successful, restart Nginx to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart nginx

5. Upload Website Files: Upload your new PHP website files to the directory specified in the root directive of your new server block.

6. DNS Configuration: Ensure that the DNS records for your subdomain point to your server's IP address.

7. Permissions and Ownership: Set appropriate permissions and ownership for the new website's files so that the web server can access them. This might involve using the chown and chmod commands.

8. Testing: Access the new subdomain in your browser to ensure that the new PHP website is being served correctly.

By following these steps, you'll be able to add a new PHP website under a subdomain on your server alongside your existing FusionPBX installation. Just make sure that the new server block's server_name and port settings do not conflict with your existing configuration.
