Virtualmin Tips & Hacks: How to Setup, Integrate and Automate PHP-FPM & Nginx Reverse Proxy in Virtualmin

This practical, hands-on book will show you how to install, integrate and automate PHP-FPM in the Virtualmin control panel. Many webmasters and system administrators are turning to PHP-FPM because it offers the best performance and stability compared to the other PHP Sapis such as DSO (mod_php or mod_dso), FastCGI or mod_suPHP.

Unfortunately, many web-hosting Control Panels such Webmin and Virtualmin and even the commercial panels such as the Cpanel do not offer support for PHP-FPM. This has led many frustrated system administrators and webmasters to "hack" their own custom solutions which involve editing multiple configuration files.

If you are one of them, you know how painful the entire process can be - each time you want to create a new virtual server, you'll have to edit a bunch of configuration files again and again.

This book, Virtualmin Tips & Hacks will show you how to integrate PHP-FPM and Nginx Reverse Proxy into Virtualmin itself - and how to automate the entire process. You just need to set it up once, and you can use the Virtualmin interface to create new Virtual Servers with its own unique PHP-FPM pool processes with Nginx as the reverse-proxy to Apache.

No more messing with multiple configuration files.

Bonuses:
This book comes with 2 custom-developed shell scripts that enables you to create the PHP-FPM pool files and the Nginx reverse-proxy "vhost" files. All the source-code and scripts mentioned in the book can be downloaded from the companion website - http://www.ilovevirtualmin.com.

Future updates and book errata will be posted on this site to keep this book always up to date.
