How to build a server using PHP and Linux

php linux server

1. Install and configure the Linux system

First we need to install the Linux system on the server. Common Linux operating systems include: Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc. We need to understand our needs before choosing an operating system.

After installation, we need to perform basic configuration of the Linux operating system. For example, install necessary software, update security patches, modify IP addresses, etc.

2. Install and configure the Apache server

The Apache server is one of the most popular web server applications. It supports PHP and is open source and has high stability. We can install Apache through the command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2

After the installation is complete, we need to start the Apache service and perform basic configuration on it. For example, configure the firewall, modify the default port, prevent DDoS attacks, etc. Here we only talk about the most basic configuration, that is, changing the Apache root directory so that it can correctly process PHP files.

Open the Apache configuration file

sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Find the following content:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted

is changed to

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

Restart the Apache service after the modification is completed

sudo service apache2 restart

3. Install PHP

PHP can be installed directly through the apt-get command

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php

After the installation is complete we need to configure PHP to interact with the Apache server. We need to modify the Apache configuration file.

sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf

Put index.html in DirectoryIndex in front, as shown below

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm

Restart the Apache service after the modification is completed

sudo service apache2 restart

4. Set up the database environment

Installing the MySQL database in the server and connecting PHP to the database can make it easier for us to store and manage data. We can install MySQL through the following command

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

After the installation is complete, we need to modify the MySQL configuration file to increase its security. For example, changing the password of the root user, restricting remote access, etc. Here we only describe how to create a new MySQL user

Enter the MySQL console

mysql -u root -p

Execute the following command to create a new database and user

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
CREATE USER 'myuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase.* TO 'myuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

After the modification is completed, we need to restart the MySQL service

sudo service mysql restart

Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) Performance Tuning in PHP Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) Performance Tuning in PHP Jul 29, 2025 am 05:00 AM

Avoid N 1 query problems, reduce the number of database queries by loading associated data in advance; 2. Select only the required fields to avoid loading complete entities to save memory and bandwidth; 3. Use cache strategies reasonably, such as Doctrine's secondary cache or Redis cache high-frequency query results; 4. Optimize the entity life cycle and call clear() regularly to free up memory to prevent memory overflow; 5. Ensure that the database index exists and analyze the generated SQL statements to avoid inefficient queries; 6. Disable automatic change tracking in scenarios where changes are not required, and use arrays or lightweight modes to improve performance. Correct use of ORM requires combining SQL monitoring, caching, batch processing and appropriate optimization to ensure application performance while maintaining development efficiency.

Building Resilient Microservices with PHP and RabbitMQ Building Resilient Microservices with PHP and RabbitMQ Jul 27, 2025 am 04:32 AM

To build a flexible PHP microservice, you need to use RabbitMQ to achieve asynchronous communication, 1. Decouple the service through message queues to avoid cascade failures; 2. Configure persistent queues, persistent messages, release confirmation and manual ACK to ensure reliability; 3. Use exponential backoff retry, TTL and dead letter queue security processing failures; 4. Use tools such as supervisord to protect consumer processes and enable heartbeat mechanisms to ensure service health; and ultimately realize the ability of the system to continuously operate in failures.

Creating Production-Ready Docker Environments for PHP Creating Production-Ready Docker Environments for PHP Jul 27, 2025 am 04:32 AM

Using the correct PHP basic image and configuring a secure, performance-optimized Docker environment is the key to achieving production ready. 1. Select php:8.3-fpm-alpine as the basic image to reduce the attack surface and improve performance; 2. Disable dangerous functions through custom php.ini, turn off error display, and enable Opcache and JIT to enhance security and performance; 3. Use Nginx as the reverse proxy to restrict access to sensitive files and correctly forward PHP requests to PHP-FPM; 4. Use multi-stage optimization images to remove development dependencies, and set up non-root users to run containers; 5. Optional Supervisord to manage multiple processes such as cron; 6. Verify that no sensitive information leakage before deployment

A Deep Dive into PHP's Internal Garbage Collection Mechanism A Deep Dive into PHP's Internal Garbage Collection Mechanism Jul 28, 2025 am 04:44 AM

PHP's garbage collection mechanism is based on reference counting, but circular references need to be processed by a periodic circular garbage collector; 1. Reference count releases memory immediately when there is no reference to the variable; 2. Reference reference causes memory to be unable to be automatically released, and it depends on GC to detect and clean it; 3. GC is triggered when the "possible root" zval reaches the threshold or manually calls gc_collect_cycles(); 4. Long-term running PHP applications should monitor gc_status() and call gc_collect_cycles() in time to avoid memory leakage; 5. Best practices include avoiding circular references, using gc_disable() to optimize performance key areas, and dereference objects through the ORM's clear() method.
