To enable PHP-FPM support for Nginx to process server-side includes (SSI), you need to follow these steps:
Install PHP-FPM: First, you need to install PHP-FPM on your server. The installation process depends on your operating system. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get install php-fpm
Configure PHP-FPM: Next, you need to configure PHP-FPM. Open the PHP-FPM configuration file using a text editor. The location of the file may vary, but it is usually located at /etc/php/7.x/fpm/pool.d/www.conf on Ubuntu.
sudo nano /etc/php/7.x/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
Within the file, make sure the following options are set:
listen = /var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.mode = 0660
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Restart PHP-FPM: After making the necessary changes, you need to restart PHP-FPM for the changes to take effect. Use the following command:
sudo service php7.x-fpm restart
Replace 7.x with the appropriate version of PHP installed on your system.
Configure Nginx: Now, you need to configure Nginx to use PHP-FPM for processing server-side includes. Open the Nginx configuration file for your site using a text editor. The location of the file may vary, but it is usually located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default on Ubuntu.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Within the server block, add the following lines to enable PHP-FPM:
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ \.shtml$ {
ssi on;
ssi_types text/html;
# Add any additional SSI-related directives here
}
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Restart Nginx: After making the necessary changes, you need to restart Nginx for the changes to take effect. Use the following command:
sudo service nginx restart
Now, Nginx should be configured to use PHP-FPM for processing server-side includes (SSI) in your PHP files.
