Comments on Running SilverStripe On Nginx (LEMP) On Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu 13.04

This tutorial shows how you can install and run SilverStripe on a Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu 13.04 system that has nginx installed instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced "engine x") + MySQL + PHP). nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

Hi Falko!

I was just curious, can this process be used for ANY CMS? I was looking to install something smaller (snews17 for example) but I dont want to mess up my install of LEMP. Lots of love for all the work you've done so far!

First,

Thank you! I was able to get silverstripe working on my vps.  Awesome!

each CMS has a different url routing structure. The most important bit for silverstripe is the location /  {} with the rewrite rule in it. This rewrites the url's to work with what SilverStripe is expecting
