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.
