How to set up macbook nginx php environment

When developing web applications, developers using the macOS operating system usually face a common problem: how to build a web server on the macOS system that can be tested and debugged locally. Fortunately, this is not a problem, because the macOS system itself comes with a powerful web server, and there are also many third-party software that can easily build a complete web development environment. This article will introduce how to set up a web development environment for Nginx and PHP on a MacBook.

Step 1: Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a very easy-to-use software installation package manager under Mac OS X. It allows developers to easily install various development programs, such as PHP and MySQL. etc. Enter the following command in the terminal to install Homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby –e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

After the installation is successful, you can check whether the installation is successful by running the following command:

brew –v

Outputting the version number proves that Homebrew has been successfully installed.

Step 2: Install Nginx

Nginx is a lightweight and high-performance web server, and the installation and configuration are very simple. Use the following command to install Nginx on macOS system:

brew install nginx

After the installation is complete, you can use the following command to start the Nginx server:

nginx

Use the following command to shut down the Nginx server:

nginx –s stop

Step 3: Install PHP

PHP is a widely used server-side scripting language that plays a vital role in web development. Use the following command to install PHP on macOS system:

brew install php

After the installation is complete, you can use the following command to view the PHP version in the terminal:

php –v

Step 4: Configure Nginx server

After installing Nginx and PHP, you need to configure the Nginx server to use PHP to handle web requests. In macOS, the Nginx configuration file is located in the /etc/nginx directory. Open the Nginx configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the opened file, add the following code in the server block:

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING      $query_string;
    fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD    $request_method;
    fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE      $content_type;
    fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH    $content_length;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Test the PHP environment

The last step is to test whether the PHP environment is configured correctly. Create a file called phpinfo.php in the root directory of your website and add the following code to the file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save and close the file. Then visit http://localhost/phpinfo.php in the browser, and you can see the PHP configuration information on the page.

So far, we have successfully set up a web development environment for Nginx and PHP on MacBook. I hope this article can provide some help to developers who are setting up a development environment.
