Well its really nice to see that my modified LNMP installer is getting nice popularity! And its also nice to see lots of people used this guide to setup their servers as of now. You all know this is modified script and original rights goes to www.lnmp.org . What I did is simple modifications to original script.
Changelog 0.5.1
- Actually LNMP0.5RB script places a script called “prober” its located on /p.php on home directory and it shows all server data when viewing p.php so if you forget to delete it after installing it might be security risk. So on 0.5.1 I have decided no to install prober automatically when running script.
- And one problem that we had on 0.5RB the script itself rewrites local server time to china shanghai time. I dont know why original developer wanted this kind of thing. So I have removed that now it keeps your local time zone without rewriting it to china time!
- Installation process simplified with clear details when installing. Actually this is just minor change as LNMP is itself very simplified. Script searches for some scripts like nginx is already exists or not and used to give output called Error: So its bit misguiding, So I have cleaned up the code for newbies so they don’t need get scared seeing error!
- Software packages like php,mysql.,etc moved to my own server which runs on 1Gbps pipe so it makes installation faster. I have did because some users reported that some times previous host unavailable to pull the packages.
So there is nothing major updates on 0.5.1 its just security release for newbie users.
What should i do to update my 0.5 to 0.5.1 ?
- As said nothing major. If you are already running LNMP0.5RB please delete prober placed on /p.php and php info file located on /phpinfo.php as it might pose security vulnerability.
And kudos for all your support so far!

Well, Pagerank is rotting these days. People keeps asking when? this week? next week? And most of people including myself now begun to hate pagerank because BigG looks like too lazy to push the Big Red button to update page ranks.
Why I dont think google will just stop updating the pagerank,
- Pagerank is one fact helps google to take over the internet
Link sales 99% based on Pagerank no matter you get 10 visitors a day if you got PR5 you can earn money. Traffic is not the fact for links sales these days.

This guide is about setting up your domain name to work with your vps or dedicated server remotely. It means without running DNS server like BIND,DJBdns locally on your server.
This guide is a part of LNMP0.5RB full web site setup guide!
You have little bit of a advantage of running your dns server remotely because it saves you some available ram on your server and allow you to easily setup failovers.So on this guide I’ll explain about setting up you domain on godaddy to work with LNMP0.5RB setup
You can use godaddy’s dns for free to point to your server. To do this you need to setup your domain to use godaddy’s DNS.

This post is also a guide to setup fully functional website with LNMP0.5RB
If you have SSH access to your vps or dedicated server you dont need to install FTP to upload your web site files to your server. You can use Filezilla to connect using SFTP to your server all you need to do is enter your ip address and root login details and also your SSH port on the filezilla port field.
You can use this method to upload files to your new LNMP0.5RB server so you dont need to install FTP deamon.
Your website directory is /home/wwwroot/ is you are using LNMP0.5RB setup!

Nginx is claimed to me fastest web server software in the world. Most of people still use apache because ease of use and most of popular server control panels like cpanel is supporting apache. Apache is great web server if configured properly but its unstable,little bit memory and cpu hungry than nginx.
Unfortunately control panels for nginx like cpanel for apache is not available yet. So people needs to configure it by issuing SSH commands. Like working on DOS without windows 7.
A Chinese web developer called “Licess” wrote a nice script which installs and configure nginx for non tech savvy users. its official web page is www.lnmp.org and its free.
One disadvantage of that script is it doesnt install latest version of nginx (for now latest is 0.8.53) it installs legacy stable version. Actually its not major disadvantage but people kept asking for latest version. So I decided to modify his great script little bit to use the latest and greatest version of nginx. I call my modified script as LNMP0.5RB and original version is LNMP0.5 .
Whole credits goes for licess as original developer. And you can find the details about my modified installer script here- http://www.ruchirablog.com/nginx-autoinstaller/
