Build nginx-1.4.0 and host wordpress.

1. You need to compile MCFI/PICFI toolchain! Download it here at https://github.com/mcfi/MCFI and follow the instructions.

2. Execute nginx.sh in this directory to build and install nginx.

3. Install mysql, php5-mysql and php5-fpm using the following command

   sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql php5-fpm php5-gd libssh2-php

4. In config file (/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf) for php5-fpm, change "user" to the user name of nginx's executable.

   Uncomment listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1 to allow local connections.

   Make php5-fpm connectable from non-root users

   su && chmod o+rw php5-fpm.sock

5. Create a MySQL database

   Type mysql -u root -p in bash and execute the following commands.

   CREATE DATABASE wordpress;

   CREATE USER wordpressuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpressuser@localhost;

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

6. Download wordpress and decompress it to ~/wordpress.

   cd ~/wordpress

   cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

   Open wp-config.php and modify the following configuration as below:

   define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');

   define('DB_USER', 'wordpressuser');

   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

   Copy wordpress files to nginx installation dir's html subdir

   rsync -avP $WORDPRESS/ $NGINX/html/

   mkdir $NGINX/html/wp-content/uploads

7. Use the following configuration file for nginx. Start nginx and access the front page through http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php using a browser.
