Next, we need to create a database for the Pimcore installation.

mysql -uroot -p

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE pimcore DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pimcore.* TO 'pimcore'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong_password';

Install and configure Nginx

Ubuntu 14.04 comes with Nginx version 1.4, to install the latest stable version of Nginx version 1.8, run:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:nginx/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install nginx

Next, create a new Nginx server block:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/myPimcore.com

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name 192.168.2.1;
    root /home/your_user/myPimcore.com;
    index index.php;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/pimcore.access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/pimcore.error.log;

    set $getassets "";
    if ($uri ~* ^/website/var/assets)   { set $getassets "${getassets}A"; }
    if ($request_method = GET)      { set $getassets "${getassets}B"; }
    if ($getassets = "AB") {
        rewrite ^ $uri$args last;
    }

    location ~* ^(/plugins/(?!.*/static).*|^/pimcore/(?!(static|modules/3rdparty)).*|/website/var/(?!tmp|assets|areas)|^.*modules/.*/static.*|^(vendor|tests|node_modules|phing)/.*|^(bower|package|composer|gulpfile)\.) {
        return 403;
    }

    location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm-your_user.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
        fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
    }

    location ~* \.(jpe?g|gif|png|bmp|ico|css|js|pdf|zip|htm|html|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|txt|wav|swf|avi|mp\d)$ {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /website/var/assets$uri /index.php?$args;
        expires 1w;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}

Do not forget to change your_user with your username.

Activate the server block by creating a symbolic link :

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/myPimcore.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myPimcore.com

Test the Nginx configuration and restart the service:

sudo nginx -t
sudo service nginx restart

Open http://myPimcore.com/ in your favorite web browser and you should see the Pimcore install screen. On this page you’ll need to enter the database details you created earlier, Pimcore admin details and click on the Install now button.
