Laravel 5.4 has been released. And here is step by step how to installing it on centos 7 using nginx and php-fpm.
Requirement :
1. Composer
Execute on linux shell
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '55d6ead61b29c7bdee5cccfb50076874187bd9f21f65d8991d46ec5cc90518f447387fb9f76ebae1fbbacf329e583e30') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
2. Write phpinfo
Let’s add some basic info about our server, located at /var/www/blog/routes/web.php.
<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
if (App::environment('local', 'staging')) {
Route::get('/info', function() {
return phpinfo();
});
}
3. Install Laravel and try using builtin webserver
Execute on linux shell
composer global require "hirak/prestissimo:^0.3"
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
mv blog /var/www/blog
chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/blog
cd /var/www/blog
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0
Go to http://128.199.127.234:8000/info
4. Nginx conf
Execute on linux shell
sudo echo "server {
listen 8000;
root /var/www/blog/public;
index index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/nginx.vhost.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/nginx.vhost.error.log;
location / {
try_files \$uri \$uri/ /index.php?\$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME \$document_root\$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO \$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}" > /etc/nginx/conf.d/laravel-sample.conf
nginx -t
service nginx restart
5. Make sure our laravel app running on exact port
Execute on linux shell
[root@centos-512mb-sgp1-01-1483019484734-scrapy-512mb-sgp1-01 conf.d]# netstat -ntpl
Active Internet connections (only servers)

Go to http://128.199.127.234:8000/info
6. Conclusion
It’s quite simple to setup laravel 5.4 projects on nginx and php-fpm. And notice the difference on Server API when open up /info.
For convenience, remove /info routes when production ready.
