Please note that additional configuration options will be supplied by the homebrew installer. Please follow those directions.

PHP with Homebrew

There is no formula by default, but there is a github project maintainging all php brews. You can find it here.

PHP with fpm

You can omit the --with-mysql --with-pgsql if you will not be using it.

brew install php54 --with-mysql --with-pgsql --with-fpm

APC

brew install php54-apc

mongo-php

brew install php54-mongo

xdebug

brew install php54-xdebug

Nginx

First, install Nginx.

brew install nginx

Configuration

Importing our configuration requires us to replace the old config files. And cloning the git repo.

1. Rename the default config directiory

   mv /usr/local/etc/nginx /usr/local/etc/nginx.old

2. Clone the git repository from github. Or, alternatively, you can also download the files and copy the manually.

3. Use the default configs in sites-available to create your site configs.

4. Create a sites-enabled directory.

   mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled

5. Create symlinks to your config files in sites-available in site-enabled using ln -s.

Project Configuration

Nginx User

By default, the user is nobody.

WordPress

You'll need to give write access to your WordPress folder to the nginx user. You'll also need to give ownership to the files to the nginx user if you want the automatic updates to work. This is done using chown -R nobody /path/to/wp. If you're using a different user, replace nobody by that user.
