How To Install an Nginx, MySQL, and PHP (FEMP) Stack on FreeBSD 10.1

Introduction

Nginx, MySQL, and PHP can be combined together easily as a powerful solution for serving dynamic content on the web. These three pieces of software can be installed and configured on a FreeBSD machine to create what is known as a FEMP stack.

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to install a FEMP stack on a FreeBSD 10.1 server. We will be installing the software using packages in order to get up and running more quickly. These packages provide reasonable defaults that work well for most servers.

Install the Components

To begin, we will install all of the software we need using FreeBSD packages system. The “install” command will update our local copy of the available packages and then install the packages we have requested: Continue reading How To Install an Nginx, MySQL, and PHP (FEMP) Stack on FreeBSD 10.1 →

How To Install an Apache, MySQL, and PHP (FAMP) Stack on FreeBSD 10.1

Introduction

A FAMP stack, which is similar to a LAMP stack on Linux, is a group of open source software that is typically installed together to enable a FreeBSD server to host dynamic websites and web apps. FAMP is an acronym that stands for FreeBSD (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database server), and PHP (to process dynamic PHP content).

In this guide, we’ll get a FAMP stack installed on a FreeBSD 10.1 cloud server using pkg, the FreeBSD package manager.

Prerequisites

Before you begin this guide, you should have a FreeBSD 10.1 server. Also, you must connect to your FreeBSD server as a user with superuser privileges (i.e. is allowed to use sudo or change to the root user).

Step One — Install Apache

The Apache web server is currently the most popular web server in the world, which makes it a great choice for hosting a website.

We can install Apache easily using FreeBSD’s package manager, pkg. A package manager allows us to install most software pain-free from a repository maintained by FreeBSD. You can learn more about how to use pkg here.

To install Apache 2.4 using pkg, use this command: Continue reading How To Install an Apache, MySQL, and PHP (FAMP) Stack on FreeBSD 10.1 →
