How To Configure Websocket Nginx Fpm


How To Configure Websocket Nginx Fpm

Introduction

Websocket is a modern web technology that provides bidirectional communication between a web server and a web client. The websocket protocol allows for real-time data transfer which is more efficient and faster than traditional web technologies. Websocket is becoming a popular choice for the development of interactive web applications. Nginx is a popular web server software, and FPM is an alternative web application deployment platform. In this tutorial, we will learn how to configure websocket on Nginx and FPM.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to have a remote server running any Linux or UNIX-based operating system such as CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian. The root user or a user with sudo privileges will be required to complete the steps in this tutorial. Additionally, you will need to install and configure Nginx and FPM on your server.

Install the Nginx Websocket Module

Nginx includes several modules that are installed and enabled by default. To configure websockets, we will need to install the websocket module. To do this, we must first download and extract the source code for the module. Navigate to the Nginx source directory and use the wget command to download the module.

Configure Nginx for Websockets

Once we have installed the websocket module for Nginx, we can begin configuring the web server for websocket support. First, we need to make sure that the websocket module is enabled. To do this, open the nginx.conf file in a text editor.

Configure FPM for Websockets

Now that the Nginx web server is configured for websockets, we need to configure the FMP application server. The FMP server handles all incoming requests and passes them off to the application. To make sure that FPM is configured correctly, open the www.conf file located in the FPM configuration directory.

Testing the Configuration

Once the Nginx and FPM websockets are configured correctly, we can test if the configuration is working correctly. To test the configuration, open the websocket connection in your web browser and send a test message. The message should be sent successfully. If it fails, you may need to check the configuration files for any errors.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to configure websocket on Nginx and FPM. We have also learned how to install and configure the websocket module for Nginx and how to configure FPM for websockets. Finally, we have tested the configuration to make sure it is working correctly. Websocket is a powerful web technology and using it with Nginx and FPM can help you build powerful and interactive web applications.
