Install Nginx Php Oci8 Pdo_Oci On Windows

Overview

Nginx is a web server that is widely used for serving static content and as a reverse proxy for dynamic content. It is powerful, reliable and easy to set up. The installation of Nginx, PHP and Oracle Instant Client (for access to Oracle databases) on Windows is a simple process that requires a few steps. This guide will walk you through the installation process and give you the instructions needed to complete the installation.

Step One: Install Nginx

The first step is to install Nginx. To do this, download the latest Windows version from the Nginx website. Once the download is complete, run the installation executable. During the installation you will be asked to select a destination folder for Nginx. You can select the default or specify a different location. Once the installation is complete, you can test Nginx by navigating to http://localhost in your browser. If the install was successful, you should see the Nginx welcome page.

Step Two: Install PHP

The next step is to install the PHP interpreter. To do this, download the latest Windows version of PHP from the PHP website. Once the download is complete, run the installation executable. During the installation you will be asked to select the destination folder for PHP. You can select the default or specify a different location.

Once the install is complete, you will need to configure the Nginx web server to use the PHP interpreter. To do this, edit the Nginx configuration file (located in the nginxconf directory) and add the following lines:

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

This will tell Nginx to pass requests for files ending with .php to the PHP interpreter. You can then test the installation by navigating to a .php file in your browser. If the install was successful, you should see the PHP code being executed.

Step Three: Install Oracle Instant Client

The next step is to install the Oracle Instant Client (for access to Oracle databases). To do this, download the latest Windows version of Oracle Instant Client from the Oracle website. Once the download is complete, run the installation executable. During the installation you will be asked to select the destination folder for the Oracle Instant Client. You can select the default or specify a different location. Once the install is complete, you will need to configure the Nginx web server to use the Oracle Instant Client. To do this, edit the Nginx configuration file (located in the nginxconf directory) and add the following lines:

env PATH=C:oracleinstantclient_19_3;%PATH%
fastcgi_param LD_LIBRARY_PATH C:oracleinstantclient_19_3

This will tell Nginx to use the Oracle Instant Client when accessing Oracle databases. You can then test the installation by running a PHP script that accesses an Oracle database. If the installation was successful, you should see the data from the database being accessed.

Step Four: Install Oci8 and Pdo_Oci Extensions

The next step is to install the Oci8 and Pdo_Oci extensions to enable access to Oracle databases from PHP. To do this, download the latest Windows version of Oci8 and Pdo_Oci from the PECL website. Once the download is complete, run the installation executables. During the installation you will be asked to provide the location of the Oracle Instant Client (the folder where you installed it in the previous step).

Once the install is complete, you will need to configure the Nginx web server to use the Oci8 and Pdo_Oci extensions. To do this, edit the Nginx configuration file (located in the nginxconf directory) and add the following lines:

load_module “C:/Program Files/PHP/ext/php_oci8.dll”
load_module “C:/Program Files/PHP/ext/php_pdo_oci.dll”

This will tell Nginx to load the Oci8 and Pdo_Oci extensions when accessing Oracle databases. You can then test the installation by running a PHP script that accesses an Oracle database. If the installation was successful, you should see the data from the database being accessed.

Step Five: Final Configuration

The final step is to restart the Nginx web server to apply the changes. To do this, open the command prompt window and run the following command:

nginx -s reload

This will reload the Nginx configuration and enable the Oci8 and Pdo_Oci extensions. You can then run a php script that accesses an Oracle database to test the installation. If the installation was successful, you should see the data from the database being accessed.

Conclusion

Installing Nginx, PHP and Oracle Instant Client (for access to Oracle databases) on Windows is a simple process that can be completed in a few steps. This guide has provided the steps needed to complete the installation and given you the instructions needed to configure Nginx and PHP to use the Oracle Instant Client and Oci8 and Pdo_Oci extensions.
