Hello ,
I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple wordpress installs
all seperate for each domain with Nginx?
I did find a tutorial for multiple installs and multisite.
but i could find it for seperate and LEMP installs.
thanks
Dieter
yes it is possible. I would recommend at least the 2GB droplet if you are planning on more than 3 or 4. Just separate each domain.conf and document root. I run multiple sites on multiple droplets all with Nginx and WordPress.
Hi thanks for your awnser
I am stuck with the conf i cant get it to work can you give me an example of your conf file?
Thanks
Dieter
I am using CentOS 7 for my installs, i don't use Ubuntu so i can't speak for its configuration. I use a script that i have written to automate the setup of WordPress and deploy Nginx confs as well as setup mysql db. My script is on github for CentOS 6 and it is beta for CentOS 7, if you are running those it will help you out but if you are running Ubuntu i would suggest looking at rtCamp scripts for WordPress.
My directory structure always looks like this /var/www/$DOMAIN/htdocs with WordPress install inside of htdocs and wp-config.php moved to /var/www/$DOMAIN/.
domain 1 WordPress - copied and pasted from working server
server {
server_name domain1.com www.domain1.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domain1.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/domain1.com.error.log;
root /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs;
index index.php index.htm index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ /fpm/status/(.*) {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /status;
fastcgi_pass $1;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
domain 2 WordPress - copied and pasted from working server
server {
server_name domain2.com www.domain2.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domain2.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/domain2.com.error.log;
root /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs;
index index.php index.htm index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ /fpm/status/(.*) {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /status;
fastcgi_pass $1;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
is the fastcgi parts necessary ?
I will take a look at easy engine scripts , but then you basically install a control panel if i am correct ?
thanks for the help :-)
i am going to retry setting up a server , install LEMP and retry with a domain i have left with no use.
currently i am using Serverpilot , any thoughts on that?
If you are using PHP-FPM then it is necessary.
Easy Engine does install alot of bloat but it does do most configuration for you on Ubuntu.
If you aren't in a crunch for time then it would best to learn how it all works together and install it yourself.
I am not familiar with Serverpilot since i don't use Ubuntu, but service looks nice.
i think i will need PHP-FPM , so it states in the Setup guide.
i will try around with the installs and see when i get to a problem.
once i have the Conf file i will post it here so if you can you can check it.
also i was talking to ServerPilot about Memory , i currently have 3 sites installed on my 512 RAM droplet.
i used the command free -m and gave me the following :
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 490 445 44 49 64 137
-/+ buffers/cache: 243 246
Swap: 511 40 471
He told me because there was 40 in the swap i needed to upgrade my droplet but then i see i have still 246 left of my ram if i am correct.
i don't get have traffic to these sites and all still remains smooth.
possible to add another site or should i follow and upgrade?
Thanks
Dieter
