• Monitoring plugins: AppDynamics, Datadog, Dynatrace plug‑ins

So, follow the below steps for an easy installation.

Step 1: Update & Upgrade Your System

Fire the below command in your terminal to fetch the latest updates before going to install Nginx with PHP-FPM on Ubuntu 20.04

sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Installing Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04

Once the system is updated, run the given command to install the Nginx on Ubutnu 20.04.

sudo apt install nginx

Verify the installation by running

sudo systemctl status nginx

Output:

sabir@Ubuntu20:~$ sudo systemctl status nginx

As you’ve to select once server Apache or Nginx. So, to use Nginx either you’ve to change the Port or disable the Apache web server. To disable Apache, run the below command.

sudo systemctl disable --now apache2

And then allow the firewall access on port 80.

sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 80,443

Step 3: Installing PHP-FPM

Now, as we’ve already installed Nginx. To use PHP with Nginx fire the below command.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-json php-pdo php-mysql php-zip php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath

Once the installation finished, verify the status of PHP-FPM services by running the below command.

sudo systemctl status php7.4-fpm.service

Output:

sabir@Ubuntu20:~$ sudo systemctl status php7.4-fpm.service
● php7.4-fpm.service - The PHP 7.4 FastCGI Process Manager

You can find the PID & Socket files under the directory.

sabir@Ubuntu20:~$ ls /run/php/
php7.4-fpm.pid php7.4-fpm.sock php-fpm.sock

Step 4: Configuring PHP-FPM with Nginx On Ubutnu 20.04

Now, to configure PHP-FPM with Nginx edit your application Nginx config file & set fastcgi_pass section to load through the FPM socket. Look at the below snippet.

$ cat /etc/nginx/php_fastcgi.conf
#404
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;
default fastcgi_params
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi settings
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
fastcgi_hide_header X-Powered-By;
fastcgi_hide_header X-CF-Powered-By;

After it reload the Nginx & open your applications on the web to make sure they are working as expected. So, this is how you can install Nginx web server with PHP-FPM on Ubutnu 20.04.
