A lightweight launcher for a PHP/Nginx development server
To give the possibility to a user without admin privileges to easily launch a PHP development server.
- PHP in CGI mode: php-cgi -v must returns php-fcgi in output
- Nginx server
On Ubuntu systems:
sudo apt-get install nginx-full php5-cgi
On archlinux:
pacman nginx php-cgi
To install sng locally :
npm install sng
To install globally in system use:
npm install sng -g
Options:
-n, --nginx-base Default binding NGinx wil be listening on [default: "127.0.0.1:8000"]
-p, --php-bind Default binding address for php-cgi [default: "127.0.0.1:9000"]
-b, --behavior Changes behavior. Avialable are: "standard", "zend" [default: "standard"]
-x, --extra-directives Extra directives file for the NGinx server
You can directly store the configuration file in the root folder of the server. sng will look for .sng.conf.tpl files in the root folder. A very basic configuration file would look like that :
location / {
if ($uri ~ "\.php") {
fastcgi_pass {{ php_bind }};
}
access_log {{ tmpdir }}/access.log mine;
}
Warning : The {{ php_bind }} represents the ip and port on which php-cgi is running, for exemple 127.0.0.1:80 is the default binding.
