Moodle 2.0 with Nginx backend

Question

Hello I am looking for a tutorial on how to configure a server for Moodle 2.0 with nginx as the server and PHP-FPM or FastCGI with mySQL as the backend. Sorry if I am confusing these terms bit of a server architecture noob. Probably would run it on Ubuntu/Debian machine

found a tutorial for older versions of Moodle with older PHP and PostgreSQL compiled from source. This would slow down my deployment plans and seems deprecated. Also would prefer MySQL over Postgres based on my experience level with MySQL.

Can anyone out there make some updated suggestions?

Answer 1

I wrote a documentation for Nginx and Moodle 2: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Install_Moodle_On_Ubuntu_with_Nginx/PHP-fpm

Don't forget to set slash arguments to off in Moodle, otherwise you'll have problem with image links in the html editor.
