In continuation to the article on the installation of a Nginx web server and PHP 7 FPM, we will make some changes to our basic installation.

The goal is to show you how to proceed, to allow you to edit your own settings according to your needs.

In this article, we will install the latest version of NGINX web server that will be associated with the new PHP7 FPM.

In the past, I was a Apache httpd addict and I have used it a lot every time that I'm looking for a web server.
But since I tried Nginx, I adopted it...Nginx is really fast, powerful and consumes fewer resources than Apache.

PHP 7.0 is a worthy successor to PHP5 (yes I know, PHP 6 was swept under the carpet in the middle).

This basic installation will be used later in the next articles to add the support for HTTPS and HTTP/2 protocols.

Sudo (sometimes considered as short for Super-user do) is a program designed to let system administrators allow some users to execute some commands as root (or another user). The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done. Sudo is also an effective way to log who ran which command and when.
Basically, the prefix sudo will be used before a command line that need to be run with root privilege.

Unlike Ubuntu, sudo is not installed by default in Debian 8. We will see in this article how to install, configure and use sudo.

In this article, we will see step by step how to start with a VPS SSD 1 from OVH.

• 2 Go RAM

After a fresh installation of my PC (I upgraded to Windows 10), I could no longer use the PHP cURL extension...

Very strange because the cURL extension was well enabled inside my php.ini file

extension=php_curl.dll

Here is a small piece of PHP code to test if cURL is available and running
