Infinite Script

Build Tengine, MariaDB and PHP on Ubuntu 14.04

Introduction Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world and is responsible for hosting some of the largest and highest-traffic sites on the internet. Tengine is a branch of Nginx which is created by Alibaba Inc. MariaDB is a database server developed by some of the original authors of MySQL and offers drop-in replacement functionality. Note: This guide is from 2014 and builds every component from source on Ubuntu 14.04, which has long since reached end-of-life. On a current system you would install Tengine/Nginx, MariaDB, and PHP from the official APT repositories and manage them with systemd instead of the SysV init.d scripts shown below. It’s kept here as a historical walkthrough.
