3. Install the NGINX

stable version:
root@raspberrypi:~# wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/nginx_1.6.2-1_armhf.deb
mainline version:
root@raspberrypi:~# wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/nginx_1.7.7-1_armhf.deb

stable version:
root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get install bh-nginx-stable
or mainline version:
root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get install bh-nginx-mline

4. Download nginx init script in /etc/init.d/ and add it permissions to execute:

It's not necessary 

root@raspberrypi:~# wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/etc/init.d/nginx -O /etc/init.d/nginx
root@raspberrypi:~# chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx

5. Allowing execution nginx even after reboot:

It's not necessary 

root@raspberrypi:~# update-rc.d nginx defaults

6. Create the following folders:

It's not necessary 

root@raspberrypi:~# mkdir /etc/nginx/cache
root@raspberrypi:~# mkdir /etc/nginx/conf.d
root@raspberrypi:~# mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available
root@raspberrypi:~# mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

7. Basic settings /etc/nginx/nginx.conf :

error_log   /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
 
events {
    worker_connections  1024;

    server_name  your-domain-name-here.com;
    root   /var/www;
 
      location = /favicon.ico {
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
       }
 
       location = /robots.txt {
                allow all;
                log_not_found off;
                access_log off;
       }
 
        location ~ \..*/.*\.php$ {
                return 403;
        }
 
        location ~ (^|/)\. {
                return 403;
        }
 
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }
 
        location ~ \.php$ {
                # SECURITY : Zero day Exploit Protection
                try_files $uri =404;
                # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/your-domain-name-here.com.sock;
        }
 
}

9. Nginx and fastcgi_params files for download is here:

root@raspberrypi:~#  wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params -O /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
root@raspberrypi:~#  wget https://packages.raspberry-hosting.com/nginx-raspberry-pi/etc/nginx/nginx.conf -O /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

root@raspberrypi:~#  wget http://deb.best-hosting.cz/_scripts_/nginx/fastcgi_params -O /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
root@raspberrypi:~#  wget http://deb.best-hosting.cz/_scripts_/nginx/nginx.conf -O /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

10. Install PHP-FPM and configure it how you need:

root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get install php5-fpm
root@raspberrypi:~# nano /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf
root@raspberrypi:~# nano /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf (or your-domain-name-here.com.conf) simply as you need

11. Restart NGINX & PHP-FPM:

root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/init.d/php-fpm restart && /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Enjoy!

In case of an update package, be very careful and keep a back-up of all configuration files from /etc/nginx/ !
