Example PHP-FPM — Apache — Nginx(proxy) with SSL. Ubuntu EC2 AWS

Setting Up PHP-FPM, Apache, and Nginx with SSL on Ubuntu

This guide will walk you through setting up a server where Nginx serves static frontend files and acts as a reverse proxy to Apache, which handles PHP requests via PHP-FPM. We’ll also configure SSL with Let’s Encrypt’s Certbot to ensure secure connections.

1. Install and Configure Nginx

Install Nginx

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

Configure Nginx

Create a configuration file for your site at /etc/nginx/sites-available/site1:

<server>
    listen 80;
    server_name site1.com www.site1.com;
    root /var/www/site1/public;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    location ~* \.(html|xml|txt|pdf|js|css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|svg|webp)$ {
        root /var/www/site1/public;
        expires 1y; # Set long-term caching for static files
        add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable";
    }

    location ~* \.php$ {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    error_log /var/log/nginx/site1-error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/site1-access.log;

    listen 443 ssl; # SSL for HTTPS
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/site1.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/site1.com/privkey.pem;
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
</server>

Activate the Site and Restart Nginx

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/site1 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo systemctl restart nginx

2. Install and Configure Apache

Install Apache and PHP-FPM

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 php-fpm

Configure Apache to Use PHP-FPM

Create a configuration file for your site at /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.conf:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    ServerName site1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/site1/public

    <Directory /var/www/site1/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
    </FilesMatch>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/site1-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/site1-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Enable Apache Configuration and Required Modules

sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
sudo a2enconf php8.2-fpm
sudo a2ensite site1.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

3. Configure PHP-FPM

Ensure PHP-FPM is Running

sudo systemctl start php8.2-fpm
sudo systemctl enable php8.2-fpm

4. Configure SSL with Let’s Encrypt Certbot

Install Certbot

sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx

Obtain and Configure SSL Certificate

sudo certbot --nginx -d site1.com -d www.site1.com

Certbot will automatically update your Nginx configuration and set up SSL certificates.

5. Update Hosts File

Add your domain to the /etc/hosts file for local testing:

127.0.0.1 site1.com
127.0.0.1 www.site1.com

6. Restart Services

sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now you have a server configured with Nginx serving static files and acting as a reverse proxy to Apache, which handles PHP requests via PHP-FPM. Nginx is configured to listen on ports 80 and 443 (SSL) with certificates managed by Let’s Encrypt, ensuring secure connections and optimized performance for static files according to Google Page Speed recommendations.
