Server

Symfony on AWS Linux

Amazon Linux, NGINX, PHP, Server, Symfony

This is a step by step write up for how to prepare your AWS Linux server environment for Symfony.

  1. Get your EC2 instance with AWS Linux. I set everything default so that I can enjoy Free Tier. I strongly suggest you to get EIP(Elastic IP) too, so your instance won’t change its IP every time you reboot it.

  2. Install NGINX, php, php-fpm, and mysql. Here’s shell script that I used.
