Commands to setup Nginx and PhpMyAdmin in Ubuntu EC2 Instance :

Note: At first create the Ubuntu EC2 instance in your Amazon Web Service as shown in the
video.

Install Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP (LEMP stack)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Update and Upgrade Ubuntu 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Install the Nginx Web Server
In order to display web pages to our site visitors, we are going to employ
 Nginx, a modern, efficient web server.

sudo apt-get install nginx

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Now, if you give url in your browser as:

http://server_domain_or_IP
You will see: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Install MySQL Server

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Type Command to open mysql as:

sudo mysql
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Create User using command as:-

There will be appearing as mysql> and then type below command

CREATE USER 'admin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin';

  It means that the user name is ‘admin’ and password is also ‘admin’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Grant Permission using the command as:-

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'admin'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Install PHP for Processing

sudo apt-get install php-fpm php-mysql
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Configure Nginx to Use the PHP Processor

The only configuration change we still need is to tell Nginx to use our PHP processor
for dynamic content. We do this on the server block level (server blocks are similar to
Apache’s virtual hosts). Open the default Nginx server block configuration file by typing:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Initially you can see these in configuration 

Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha

you need to change some of the above commented section to uncomment and add some of
the lines as shown in below screenshot:
Check the php version before configuring as we need this in the below configuration process.
To check the php version type the command as:

php --version

In below configuration, you have to add index.php as shown in screenshot below and
server_name is your ec2 instance Public IPv4 DNS or Public IPv4 address:
In my case it's an elastic ip address i have created i.e., 34.239.223.82.

After changing into this above file type ctrl+o to write and save and ctrl+x to exit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.Type below command to check whether configuration files have error or not:
sudo nginx -t
It should say:
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha
 If it’s giving an error then re-check the configuration file in a calm manner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.Reload the nginx:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.Install PhpMyAdmin using the command as:

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

During the installation process of Phpmyadmin you will be asked to choose web
server as we are using ‘Nginx’ as a web server so don’t choose any of them press ‘tab’
and press enter on ‘ok’.

After that you will be asked for configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-
common hit enter on ‘yes’ option’

After that you will be asked for a password. Give the password that is used to create
the user as in step 7 in my case it’s ‘admin’. I will give the same password.

Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha

 Give password and confirm the password as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.Finally, Create symbolic link:

For the Nginx web server to find and serve the phpMyAdmin files correctly, we’ll need
to create a symbolic link. Use the command as:

 sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html

This will create the symbolic link also known as symlink to the /var/www/html
directory.

After that restart nginx 

sudo systemctl restart nginx
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.Now all configuration Completed!! Go to your browser and give url as 

http://you_public_ipv4_address/phpmyadmin/
In my case it’s: 
 http://34.239.223.82/phpmyadmin/

Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha

 We have successfully configured phpMyAdmin with Nginx web server.

Setup Django Project With Gunicorn and Supervisor In AWS
[Note: use sudo Infront of all commands for ubuntu]
1. At first setup the project in ubuntu EC2 instance
Install virtualenv with the command as:
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
To create virtualenv use:
python3 -m venv env_name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Install mysqlclient inside the virtual environment of EC2 instance:
pip install mysqlclient
If error occurred then just install some of the file as ‘.whl’ file won’t be supported
in linux platform.
  [Note: If error occurred while installing mysqlclient give command in new terminal as:]

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev
libssl-dev
Also Run: 
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Install Gunicorn:

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. Gunicorn knows how
to run a web application based on the hook between the WSGI server and the WSGI-
compliant web app.
pip install gunicorn
To learn more about Gunicorn follow below link:
https://www.fullstackpython.com/green-unicorn-gunicorn.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Bind the application with gunicorn:

Specify a server socket to bind.
Syntax:
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 Project_Name.wsgi:application
Example:
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 DemoProject.wsgi:application
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Install supervisor:
Supervisor is a process manager to ensure gunicorn starts, restarts, and runs when we need it.
Supervisor will look after the Gunicorn process and make sure that they are restarted if anything goes
wrong, or to ensure the processes are started at boot time. 
Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha
 sudo apt-get install -y supervisor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Configure supervisor
Create configuration so that supervisor could read from that configuration.

Step 1: Go to the conf.d directory

cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d/

Step 2: Create gunicorn.conf file

sudo touch gunicorn.conf

Step 3: Configure the gunicorn.conf file with following lines of code:

sudo nano gunicorn.conf

configuration file will be open in nano text editor and inside that file copy below
configurations:
Syntax:
[program:gunicorn]
Directory=path_to_django_project
command=path_to_gunicorn –workers 3 --bind unix:/path_to_project/app.sock
Project_Name.wsgi:application
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn.out.log
[group:guni]
programs:gunicorn
Example:
[program:gunicorn]
Directory=/var/www/html/Django
command=/var/www/html/demo_env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind
unix:/var/www/html/Django/app.sock DemoProject.wsgi:application
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn.out.log
[group:guni]
Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha
 programs:gunicorn

Now, press ctrl+o to write and save and ctrl+x to exit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Create gunicorn directory in following path:

mkdir /var/log/gunicorn
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Re-read and then update supervisor to configuration file:

sudo supervisorctl reread

It must say guni:available if not then you might have made some mistakes in gunicorn.conf file.

sudo supervisorctl update

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Start supervisor to start at background:

sudo supervisorctl status

It must say RUNNING pid …..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Go to the sites-available directory and configure below code:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Inside location area add followings:

Syntax:
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/path_to_project/app.sock;
}

Example:
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/html/Django/app.sock;
}
Check whether the configuration file is ok or not by giving the command as:
sudo nginx -t
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Configure the static file to be load by nginx:

Prepared by Dipendra Shrestha

 Inside same nginx .conf file add following configuration to configure ‘static’ file for the
project.
location /static/ {
autoindex on;
alias /var/www/html/Django/static/;
}
It should say:

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok

nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Restart nginx and the supervisor using the command as:

sudo service nginx restart

sudo supervisorctl restart all
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Not included in Video Tutorial]
NOTE: If you want to go to the phpmyadmin directory again after all these above configurations by giving
only your_public_ip/phpmyadmin will give you url not found error for that go to the directory as:

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Then add following configuration below and save it ctrl+o and ctrl+x
location /phpmyadmin/
{
root /usr/share/;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
Then restart nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
