Step 3: Install nginx

nginx (pronounced “engine-x”) is a Web server and a reverse proxy server for HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocols, with a strong focus on high concurrency, performance and low memory usage.

• Unless this is a fresh install of OS X you need to ensure Apache doesn't load on startup
  
  $ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
• We can add some 3rd party extensions here as well (this list item is optional, if you don't want these extensions just skip to the next list item)
  
  $ curl -s -L -o /tmp/nginx-upload-progress.tar.gz https://github.com/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module/tarball/v0.9.0 && mkdir /tmp/nginx-upload-progress && tar zxpf /tmp/nginx-upload-progress.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /tmp/nginx-upload-progress && rm /tmp/nginx-upload-progress.tar.gz
$ curl -s -L -o /tmp/nginx-fair.tar.gz http://github.com/gnosek/nginx-upstream-fair/tarball/master && mkdir /tmp/nginx-fair && tar zxpf /tmp/nginx-fair.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /tmp/nginx-fair && rm /tmp/nginx-fair.tar.gz

  Now one giant line of sed regex that will edit the Homebrew formula for nginx to add the additional compile options that we need. Make sure it all gets entered as one line.

  $ sed -i '-default' 's/\([[:space:]]*\['\''--\)\(with-webdav\)\('\'',[[:space:]]*"\)\(Compile with support for WebDAV module\)\("\]\)/\1\2\3\4\5,%\1with-realip\3Compile with support for RealIP module\5,%\1with-gzip_static\3Compile with support for Gzip Static module\5,%\1with-uploadprogress\3Compile with support for Upload Progress module\5,%\1with-fair\3Compile with support for Fair module\5,%\1with-mp4\3Compile with support for MP4 module\5,%\1with-flv\3Compile with support for FLV module\5,%\1with-stub_status\3Compile with support for Stub Status module\5/; s/\([[:space:]]* args << "--\)\(with-http_dav_module\)\(" if ARGV.include? '\''--with-\)\(webdav\)\('\''.*\)/\1\2\3\4\5%\1with-http_realip_module\3realip\5%\1with-http_gzip_static_module\3gzip_static\5%\1add-module=\/tmp\/nginx-upload-progress\3uploadprogress\5%\1add-module=\/tmp\/nginx-fair\3fair\5%\1with-http_mp4_module\3mp4\5%\1with-http_flv_module\3flv\5%\1with-http_stub_status_module\3stub_status\5/; y/%/\n/' $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula/nginx.rb

  Now we'll install Nginx with our new build options and extensions and start it.
  

  $ brew install nginx --with-realip --with-gzip_static --with-mp4 --with-flv --with-stub_status --with-uploadprogress --with-fair
$ [ $? -eq 0 ] && rm -rf /tmp/nginx-upload-progress /tmp/nginx-fair
$ mkdir -vp $(brew --prefix nginx)/var/{microcache,log,run}
• If you didn't use the above to install extra nginx extensions run this, otherwise skip this command
  
  $ brew install nginx
• Once nginx is compiled, backup the default nginx config
  
  $ mv /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bak
• Download our config as follows
  
  $ curl http://realityloop.com/sites/realityloop.com/files/uploads/nginx.conf_.txt > /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
• Edit the config to set your username, replace [username] on the third line with your own username, hit Ctrl+X and Y to save
  
  $ nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
• Make nginx log files visible in Console app
  
  $ sudo mkdir /var/log/nginx
• Create the following directorty to stop “"/var/lib/nginx/speed" failed (2: No such file or directory)” error
  
  $ sudo mkdir /var/lib/nginx

Step 4: MariaDB

MariaDB is a community-developed branch of the MySQL database, the impetus being the community maintenance of its free status under GPL, as opposed to any uncertainty of MySQL license status under its current ownership by Oracle.

The intent also being to maintain high fidelity with MySQL, ensuring a "drop-in" replacement capability with library binary equivalency and exacting matching with MySQL APIs and commands. It includes the XtraDB storage engine as a replacement for InnoDB.

• Still in the ‘Terminal app’, type the following command
  
  $ brew install gnu-sed (to address Mountain Lion DP4 bug)
$ brew install mariadb --use-llvm
• Once compilation has finished unset TMPDIR
  
  unset TMPDIR
• Then mysql_install_db
  
  $ mysql_install_db
• but don't follow any more of the prompts just now or you will run into problems, we'll do the rest later.

Step 5: Install the homebrew version of php

• Execute the brew install process using hombrew-alt php brew file
  
  $ brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
  $ brew install php53 --with-mysql --with-fpm
  $ brew install php53-xhprof
  

  $ brew install php53-xdebug
$ brew install php53-uploadprogress
• Edit the php.ini
  
  $ nano /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php.ini

  Search for the extenstions section by using CTRL + W and typing: extension=php_zip.dll

  extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php53-xhprof/0.9.2/xhprof.so"
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php53-uploadprogress/1.0.3.1/uploadprogress.so"
zend_extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php53-xdebug/2.2.0/xdebug.so"
• Edit the php-fpm.conf file
  
  $ nano /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php-fpm.conf
• Add the following line below ;pid = run/php-fpm.pid
  
  pid = /usr/local/var/run/php-fpm.pid
• Update the user and group section as follows
  
  user = _www
group = _www

Remove the ; from the start of the following lines then save using Ctrl+X then Y

pm.start_servers = 3
pm.min_spare_servers = 3
pm.max_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_requests = 500
• Create directory and file for php-fpm log
  
  $ mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.8/var/log/
$ touch /usr/local/Cellar/php/5.3.8/var/log/php-fpm.log
• Make our log file visible in Console app
  
  $ sudo ln -s  /usr/local/Cellar/php53/5.3.13/var/log/php-fpm.log /var/log/nginx/php-fpm.log
• Set your timezone in php.ini http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
  
  $ nano /usr/local/etc/php/5.3/php.ini
• I added the follwing under the ;date.timezone = line
  
  date.timezone = Australia/Melbourne
• And updated the Memory limit as follows, then saved with Ctrl+X then Y
  
  memory_limit = 256M
