CentOS 7, MariaDB and nginx php-fpm: login issue

eduararley · November 15, 2016, 5:38pm

Hello everyone!

There’s something strange trying to install playSMS on CentOS 7 (MariaDB 5.5, PHP 5.4), but just using nginx.

This is the steps I’ve followed, it’s just a bash script with manual installation:

#!/bin/bash -eu

# My environment
WEBDIR=/usr/share/nginx/playsms
CONFDIR=/etc
BINDIR=/usr/local/bin
SRCDIR=/usr/local/src

#Disable SELinux
sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=permissive/g' /etc/selinux/config
setenforce permissive

# Install required dependencies
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install mariadb-server nginx php-cli php-curl php-fpm php-gd php-imap \
  php-mcrypt php-mysql

# Download playSMS, untar, install composer
cd $SRCDIR
curl -OL http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/playsms/playsms/Version%201.4/playsms-1.4.tar.gz
tar zxf playsms-1.4.tar.gz && rm -f playsms-1.4.tar.gz
cd $SRCDIR/playsms-1.4
./getcomposer.sh

# Configure MariaDB
systemctl enable mariadb
systemctl start mariadb

mysql -u root <<EOF

All installation goes without any issue. No errors, all OK. At the end, I run:

All seems OK:

Then, I go to my browser:

Seems to work. However, when I use admin/admin to login, it simply returns to the exact same page.

Nothing in /var/log/php-fpm/error.log, nothing in /var/log/nginx/error.log, nothing in Chromium console, nothing in /var/log/playsms, nothing in nowhere!

I’ve tried with Firefox: Same story.

HOWEVER:

If i just do:

#!/bin/bash -eu
systemctl stop nginx     # Disable nginx
yum -y install php # note this will also install Apache httpd server as a dependency
cp -r /usr/share/nginx/playsms/* /var/www/html # Just copy the entire site
systemctl start httpd # Start Apache

And then I go to my browser and try to login with admin/admin… IT WORKS! From Chromium or from Firefox.

OK, maybe it’s an issue with the port, no? then:

#!/bin/bash -eu
systemctl stop httpd     # Disable Apache again
sed -i "s/8080 default_server/80 default_server/g" /etc/nginx/conf.d/playsms.conf
sed -i "s/80 default_server/8080 default_server/g" /etc/nginx/nginx.conf # Just exchange ports
systemctl start nginx # Start nginx

And then I go to my browser and try to login with admin/admin… IT DOESN’T WORKS

Any hint about it? I think I’ll follow the tutorial from Anton’s blog, and check the differences between nginx and PHP-FPM setup there, and compare with mine, because the idea is to use CentOS and not Ubuntu.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Fixed! nginx was unable to write in /var/lib/php/session, this directory is not automatically created by php-fpm; however mod_php is able to automatically create it, I don’t know why.

The solution is to simply create that directory and give to php-fpm user permission to write there. This is the script fixed, if anyone wish to use it:

#!/bin/bash -eu

# My environment
WEBDIR=/usr/share/nginx/playsms
CONFDIR=/etc
