#Magento on osx Mavricks with nginx, php-fmp
##Step 1
###Make sure that brew is up to date and installed.
If you do not have home brew installed, go to the link below and install it.
Make Sure that brew is working
run brew doctor and fix any issues that come up
Now that brew is working you will need to tap a few packages to install php correctly.
Execute the following terminal.
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
You are almost ready to install php, nginx and php-fpm
Now run
brew update
This will make sure you have the most current packages
##Step 2
###install
Now run the following to install php with the packages you need.
brew install --without-apache --with-fpm --with-mysql --whith-mcrypt php55
after you run this command it will give you instructions, you must follow them.
You need mcrypt to run magento and you need fpm to run fpm. We don't want apache because it can cause issues with Nginx and PHP-FPM.
Now for NGinx
brew install nginx
after you run this command it will give you instructions, you must follow them.
Lets see if it worked.
Run
which php
it should output /usr/local/bin/php
Run
which php-fpm
it should say /usr/sbin/php-fpm
Run
which nginx
it should say /usr/local/bin/nginx
If you fail one or more of these test it is most likely because you didn't set you paths correctly in your .bashrc or .zshrc file.
Open your .bashrc or .zshrc and make sure you have something like this.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin
##Step 3
###Configure it
At this point you have nginx and php-fpm working, I use ubuntu in production so I set up nginx and php-fpm to work the same way.
I also want nginx to work on port 80 and 443. I will show you how to do that in this section.
You will want to update the default nginx.conf
Run
wget -O /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nzajt/a4c7b9feaf26595fde76/raw/b5fc7b36764dab87333bc3655b47ce9542b6aba1/nginx.conf
Some people think they can make Nginx faster by increasing the number of worker_processes or worker_connections That isn't the case. Making those numbers too high will make Nginx slower
worker_processes should be the number of cores in your computer and no more.
Run sysctl -n hw.ncpu to find out the number of cores on your computer.
Leave worker_connections where it is.
##Step 4
We are going to add a host file for your magento site.
Here is a common nginx config file for a magento site.
Add it to the root of your magento site. Update the paths in the file to your computer.
Now link it
Run
ln -s PATH TO NGNIX HOST FILE YOU JUST ADDED /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lgl.conf
Restart Nginx
sudo launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
You have to run as sudo to use port 80 and 443.
Now go to your host file.
Run
sudo vim /etc/hosts
If you don't know how to use vim you can use nano
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add this line 127.0.0.1 www.YOURSITE.com to the hosts
Go to the host and it should be working.
If you get a 500 error it means there is something wrong with php-fpm.
Make sure it is running correctly.
to restart php-fpm Run
to stop
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist
to start
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php55.plist
check if it is working by runing
lsof -Pni4 | grep LISTEN | grep php
You should see something like this
php-fpm 87099 NAME 6u IPv4 0x58c37d3516174305 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 87130 NAME 0u IPv4 0x58c37d3516174305 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 87131 NAME 0u IPv4 0x58c37d3516174305 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 (LISTEN)
