This tutorial is running in a FreeBSD vps with IPv6 only from VDS6 with the following :
- Package Name v128
- Ram 128MB
- swap 128MB
- Disk Space 2GB
- Bandwidth 100GB
- 2 IPv6
- FreeBSD 8
- 1 CPU Core 500Mhz
- $ 0.95/month
Since the ssh is not configured after first install, we have to change the sshd_config, and reboot the vps. Go to VDSManager – Private Files, and browse to /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Uncomments Port and Listen address, and then reboot the vps.
Next, change the /etc/resolv.conf so the vps can have access to the internet via IPv6, add the Google DNS :

Installing Nginx

1 2 |
# cd /usr/ports/www/nginx # make install clean |
Enable the following modules :

[X] HTTP_MODULE Enable HTTP module [X] HTTP_ADDITION_MODULE Enable http_addition module [X] HTTP_CACHE_MODULE Enable http_cache module [X] HTTP_DAV_MODULE Enable http_webdav module [X] HTTP_FLV_MODULE Enable http_flv module [X] HTTP_GEOIP_MODULE Enable http_geoip module [X] HTTP_GZIP_STATIC_MODULE Enable http_gzip_static module [X] HTTP_IMAGE_FILTER_MODULE Enable http_image_filter module [X] HTTP_PERL_MODULE Enable http_perl module [X] HTTP_RANDOM_INDEX_MODULE Enable http_random_index module [X] HTTP_REALIP_MODULE Enable http_realip module [X] HTTP_REWRITE_MODULE Enable http_rewrite module [X] HTTP_SECURE_LINK_MODULE Enable http_secure_link module [X] HTTP_SSL_MODULE Enable http_ssl module [X] HTTP_STATUS_MODULE Enable http_stub_status module [X] HTTP_SUB_MODULE Enable http_sub module [X] HTTP_XSLT_MODULE Enable http_xslt module |
Enable the Nginx by editing /etc/rc.conf, and add the following :
|
1 |
nginx_enable="YES" |
Installing another package
Before we configure and start the web server, we need to install PCRE, libtool, PHP with FPM and PHP extensions. Follow these steps:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
cd /usr/ports/devel/pcre make install clean cd /usr/ports/devel/libtool make install clean cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 make install clean |
During the selection module page, select FPM (FastCgi Process Manager).
|
1 2 |
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions make install clean |
Since PHP-FPM is a service, we need to add this in /etc/rc.conf:
|
1 |
php_fpm_enable="YES" |
Copying PHP.ini
By default, there is no php.ini specified. So we need to copy the php.ini which has been prepared during port installation.
|
1 |
cp /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini |
Start the PHP-FPM
|
1 |
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm start |
Now PHP5-FPM is listening at 127.0.0.1:9001, next, prepare the directory for serving the website.
Configure the Nginx.conf

Now we have our webserver ready to launch :
|

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/php-fpm restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx reload |
