Magento 1 Quick Start: LEMP Stack Ubuntu 16.04 (AWS EC2)

Magento 1 Quick Start: LEMP Stack Ubuntu 16.04 (AWS EC2)

Summary

Here is a quick start guide on how to get Magento 1 up and running quickly on Ubuntu 16.04, specifically for AWS EC2 – but should work for other hosts as well like Digital Ocean.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
Next up, add the PHP 5.6 repository (as Magento 1 doesn’t yet support PHP 7).
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6 php5.6-fpm php5.6-mcrypt php5.6-gd php5.6-mysql php5.6-curl php5.6-xml
For some strange reason, I had Apache 2 running on my Ubuntu 16.04 which makes me wonder if it ships with it by default. Remove Apache 2:
sudo apt-get remove apache2*
The following is my default Nginx config for Ubuntu 16.04. The only difference between Ubuntu 14 and 16 is the .sock file location. Save the following as /etc/nginx/sites-available/test.franciskim.co (and obviously change the domain name to suit yours)
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.franciskim.co;
    root /home/ubuntu/example.franciskim.co;
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.example.franciskim.co.log;
    error_log	/var/log/nginx/error.example.franciskim.co.log;

    client_max_body_size 8M;

    index index.html index.php;

    ## SSL CONFIGURATION (If needed)
    #ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/example.franciskim.co.crt;
    #ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/example.franciskim.co.key;

    location = /js/index.php/x.js {
       rewrite ^(.*\.php)/ $1 last;
       }

    ## Main Magento @location
    location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
       }

    ## Server maintenance block
       #include /etc/nginx/conf.d/maintenance.conf;
    ## Error log/page
       #include /etc/nginx/conf.d/error_page.conf;

    ## These locations are protected
    location ~ /(app|var|downloader|includes|pkginfo)/ {
       deny all;
       }

    ## Images
    location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
       expires max;
       log_not_found off;
       access_log off;
       add_header ETag "";
       }

    location @rewrite {
       rewrite / /index.php;
       }

    ## Execute PHP scripts
    location ~ \.php$ {
       try_files $uri =404;
       fastcgi_read_timeout 1200;
       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock;
       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
       ## Store code if you have a multi-domain Magento setup
       #fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE $mage_code;
       #fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE $mage_type;
       include fastcgi_params;
       }
}
Then as per best-practice, alias the file to the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.franciskim.co /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.franciskim.co
Next few steps are:
  • Place your Magento files in /home/ubuntu/example.franciskim.co/
  • Create the database in MySQL / MariaDB
  • If you have an existing site, import the MySQL database and configure app/etc/local.xml otherwise run through the installer
From time to time throughout this guide, you will need to restart your services:
sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php5.6-fpm restart
sudo service mysql restart
Good luck! Leave any questions in the comments.
