Elastic Compute Service:Deploy an LNMP stack on an Alibaba Cloud Linux 2, Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, CentOS 7, or CentOS 8 instance

Last Updated:Oct 14, 2024

LNMP is one of the most common web server architectures. It can be used to run large-scale, high-concurrency web applications, such as e-commerce websites, social networking services, and content management systems. LNMP is an acronym for the names of the following open source components: Linux operating system, NGINX web server, MySQL relational database management system, and PHP programming language. This topic describes how to deploy an LNMP stack on an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance that runs an Alibaba Cloud Linux 2, Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, CentOS 7, or CentOS 8 operating system.

Prerequisites

An ECS instance that meets the following requirements is created:

  • The instance type has at least 4 GiB of memory.

  • The ECS instance is assigned a public IP address by the system or is associated with an elastic IP address (EIP). For more information, see Enable public bandwidth for an ECS instance.

  • The ECS instance runs an Alibaba Cloud Linux 2, Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, CentOS 7, or CentOS 8 operating system. We recommend that you use Alibaba Cloud Linux 3.

  • Inbound rules are added to a security group of the ECS instance to open ports 22, 80, and 443. For information about how to add an inbound security group rule, see Add a security group rule.

    Important
    • For security reasons, this topic describes only the ports on which traffic must be allowed to deploy and test an LNMP stack. You can configure security group rules to allow traffic on additional ports based on your business requirements. For example, if you want to connect to a MySQL database on an ECS instance, you can configure an inbound rule in a security group of the instance to allow traffic on port 3306, which is the default port for MySQL.

    • Alibaba Cloud Linux 2, CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 operating systems have reached their End Of Life (EOL). So we recommend that you use the Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 image to create an ECS instance and deploy an LNMP stack.

Procedure

Alibaba Cloud Linux 2, Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, and CentOS 7.x

In this section, the following software versions are used. If your software versions are different from the following ones, modify the commands and parameter settings based on your business requirements.

  • NGINX 1.20.1

  • MySQL 8.0.39

  • PHP 8.0.30

Step 1: Disable the firewall and SELinux

Important

To prevent unexpected risks, we recommend that you perform operations as a regular user instead of an administrator. If the regular user does not have sudo permissions, grant the permissions to the user. For more information, see the "How do I grant sudo permissions to a regular user?" question in the FAQ section of this topic.

  1. Connect to the ECS instance on which you want to deploy an LNMP stack.

    For more information, see Connection method overview.

  2. Disable the firewall.

    1. Run the following command to view the status of the firewall:

      systemctl status firewalld

      查看防火墙状态

      • If inactive is returned, the firewall is disabled. In this case, proceed to Step 3.

      • If active is returned, the firewall is enabled. In this case, proceed to Step 2.b.

    2. Disable the firewall.

      • To temporarily disable the firewall, run the following command:

        sudo systemctl stop firewalld
        Note

        After you run the preceding command, the firewall is temporarily disabled. When you restart the instance, the firewall is automatically enabled.

      • To permanently disable the firewall, perform the following steps:

        1. Run the following command to disable the firewall:

          sudo systemctl stop firewalld
        2. Run the following command to prevent the firewall from being automatically enabled on system startup:

          sudo systemctl disable firewalld
        Note

        You can re-enable the firewall after you disable the firewall. For more information, visit the official firewalld website.

  3. Disable Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux).

    1. Run the following command to view the status of SELinux:

      getenforce
      • If Disabled is returned, SELinux is disabled. In this case, proceed to Step 2: Install NGINX.

      • If Enforcing is returned, SELinux is enabled. In this case, proceed to Step 3.b.

    2. Disable SELinux.

      You can temporarily or permanently disable SELinux based on your business requirements. For more information, see Enable or disable SELinux.

Step 2: Install NGINX

What to do next

After you confirm that the LNMP stack is deployed, we recommend that you run the following command to delete the phpinfo.php file to prevent data leaks:

sudo rm -rf <Website root directory>/phpinfo.php

Replace <Website root directory> with the website root directory that you configured in the nginx.conf file.

In this example, the website root directory is /usr/share/nginx/html. Run the following command:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/html/phpinfo.php
