The document provides instructions for setting up a development environment on Fedora with PHP, Nginx, and PostgreSQL for a tight deadline project where PHP is required. It recommends avoiding complexity by using existing modules. The steps include updating the system, installing Nginx, configuring Nginx, installing PHP and configuring PHP FastCGI, installing PostgreSQL, and noting that is all that is needed to set up the minimum viable environment for the project.

1. Speed up your development environment
PHP + Nginx + Fedora + PG

2. Scenario
● Ruby developer
● PHP is the customer's requirement
● Development environment not installed
● Very tight deadline (O RLY?)

3. Decisions taken
● Avoid complexity*
● Use PHP to develop
● Install environment: PHP PostgreSQL, Nginx
,
● Using a CMS (Joomla will take care)

4. Avoid complexity*
● Develop the minimum possible
● Use modules and components already made
● Focus on the important things

5. Installing environment
● Update your system
● Install Nginx
● Install PHP
● Install PostgreSQL
● Configure Nginx

6. Update your system
$ yum update

7. Install Nginx
Installing nginx
$ yum install nginx
Set it to start on boot
$ chkconfig nginx on
Start right now!
$ service nginx start
sudo if needed

8. Configure Nginx
server {
server_name www.example.com example.com;
root /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html;
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
}
location ~ .php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:53217;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}

9. Install PHP
install packages required for PHP-FastCGI
$ yum install php spawn-fcgi
Set it to start on boot
$ chkconfig spawn-fcgi on
Start right now!
$ service spawn-fcgi start
sudo if needed

10. Configure PHP
editing spawn-fcgi
$ nano /etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi
FASTCGI_USER=nginx
FASTCGI_GROUP=nginx
SOCKET=/var/run/spawn-fcgi.sock
PIDFILE=/var/run/spawn-fcgi.pid
PHP5_SOCKET=/var/run/php-fcgi.sock
CHILDREN=6
PHP5=/usr/bin/php-cgi
MODE=0600
OPTIONS="-s $PHP5_SOCKET -S -M $MODE -P $PIDFILE -C $CHILDREN -u $FASTCGI_USER -g $FASTCGI_GROUP
-f $PHP5"
sudo if needed

11. Install PostgreSQL
Download it
http://www.enterprisedb.com/
Make executable
$ chmod +x postgre_file.bin
Execute and install
$ ./postgre_file.bin
sudo if needed

12. That's all folks
Thanks!
