EasyEngine (ee) is
a Linux shell-script to install and manage wordpress-nginx websites in
one go. Using EasyEngine, you can install Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Postfix,
phpMyAdmin and their dependencies in one shot easily without the help of
a System administrator. It makes very easy to install and manage
wordpress-nginx websites, and you don’t have to manually install each
packages and memorize all commands. Everything will be done
automatically on the background. EasyEngine will work on Ubuntu LTS
versions such as Ubuntu 12.04/14.04, and Debian 6/7 version.
Unfortunately, there is no support for RPM based systems like CentOS,
and there is no future plan to make it work on RPM based systems right
now.

Usage
Now,
let us install EasyEngine stack. The following command will install
nginx, php, mysql, and postfix with all their dependencies in one go.
sudo ee stack install

Nginx, php, phpmyadmin, adminer, phpmyadmin have been installed.
You can access the nginx test page by navigating to the URL: http://ip-address or http://localhost.
Now,
you can create a sample wordpress and non-wordpress websites as many as
you want. For example, to create a wordpress site called
“unixmen.local”, enter the following command.
sudo ee site create unixmen.local --wp
Sample output:
Creating unixmen.local, please wait... Creating symbolic link for unixmen.local Creating htdocs & logs directory Downloading WordPress, please wait... Setting up WordPress, please wait... Updating WordPress permalink, please wait... Installing Nginx Helper plugin, please wait... Changing ownership of /var/www/unixmen.local, please wait... Git commit on /etc/nginx/, please wait... Executing service nginx reload, please wait... WordPress Admin Username: admin WordPress Admin Password: zVMW3gfrXtbI9ii Successfully created new website: http://unixmen.local
That’s it. My wordpress site has been created in less than 5 minutes. Very simple, isn’t?
To find the mysql server root user password, use the following command:
sudo cat ~/.my.cnf
Sample output:
[client] user=root password=lTMtPXyvbmdNr2w
For wordpress site specific username and password, check the wordpress site’s wp-config.php file. In our case, my unixmen.local wordpress site wp-config.php file is located in /var/www/unixmen.local.
ls /var/www/unixmen.local/ htdocs logs wp-config.php
List of EasyEngine commands to create WordPress and Non-wordpress websites
Standard WordPress Sites:
ee site create example.com --wp # install wordpress without any page caching ee site create example.com --w3tc # install wordpress with w3-total-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpsc # install wordpress with wp-super-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpfc # install wordpress + nginx fastcgi_cache
WordPress Multsite with subdirectory:
ee site create example.com --wpsubdir # install wpmu-subdirectory without any page caching ee site create example.com --wpsubdir --w3tc # install wpmu-subdirectory with w3-total-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpsubdir --wpsc # install wpmu-subdirectory with wp-super-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpsubdir --wpfc # install wpmu-subdirectory + nginx fastcgi_cache
WordPress Multsite with subdomain:
ee site create example.com --wpsubdom # install wpmu-subdomain without any page caching ee site create example.com --wpsubdom --w3tc # install wpmu-subdomain with w3-total-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpsubdom --wpsc # install wpmu-subdomain with wp-super-cache plugin ee site create example.com --wpsubdom --wpfc # install wpmu-subdomain + nginx fastcgi_cache
Non-WordPress Sites:
ee site create example.com --html # create example.com for static/html sites ee site create example.com --php # create example.com with php support ee site create example.com --mysql # create example.com with php & mysql support
EasyEngine
supports debugging feature from version 1.3. For example, to enable
debugging for your wordpress site, enter the following command.
sudo ee debug unixmen.local
Replace unixmen.local with your own wordpress site name.
The
above command will put WordPress into debug mode, enable xdebug
profiling for PHP, PHP-FPM Slow-log, MySQL’s slow query log and nginx’s
debug log. After complete debugging, run the following command to stop
it.
sudo ee debug unixmen.local --stop
To debug entire system, use the following command:
sudo ee debug
The above command will turn on php, mysql, nginx debugging. Please note that it will not enable any WordPress debugging.
After you finish debugging, run following command to turn off debugging mode.
ee debug --stop
To view the system (OS) status and also running status of php, mysql, nginx and postfix services, run the following command.
sudo ee system status
Sample output:
System information as of Fri Jul 18 15:18:47 IST 2014 System load: 0.00 Processes: 84 Usage of /: 8% Users logged in: 2 Memory usage: 14% Swap usage: .05% Service status information Nginx: Running PHP5-FPM: Running MySQL: Running Postfix: Running
Similarly, you can start, stop, restart ee using the following commands.
sudo ee system start sudo ee system stop sudo ee system restart
Be
mindful that “ee system restart” will not restart your Ubuntu server,
instead it just restarts nginx, php, mysql and postfix services.
Managing Access Control For PhpMyAdmin and Other administration tools
EasyEngine
stores all admin tools like phpMyAdmin, MemCache viewer, Zend Opcache
Viewer and other web-accessible tools in a protected location /ee. You can add /ee to any domain (Ex: unixmen.local/ee to access admin tools).
This location is mapped to /var/www/shared/. Any other script you put inside this directory can be access from /ee subpaths.
Followings are the method to access protected area:
- Whitelisting allowed IP-addresses.
- HTTP Authentication.
Edit /etc/nginx/common/acl.conf file,
sudo nano /etc/nginx/common/acl.conf
Add the ip address to whiltelist.
allow 192.168.1.0/24; allow 127.0.0.1; allow 192.168.1.100; deny all;
Replace 192.168.1.100 with your own ip address.
After above process, try to reload nginx by using following command,
sudo ee system restart
Or,
just use the following command to restart nginx service alone. Make
sure you are running the following user with root user privileges.
nginx -t && service nginx restart
If
you do not have dynamic IP, or working remotely, you can still access
the protected area, by providing HTTP Authentication username and
password.
During easyengine installation or upgrade, it asks for your HTTP Authentication username and password.
If you forget/skip this step, you can still find your Username and Password by using following command:
cat /etc/easyengine/ee.conf | grep htpasswd
Output:
htpasswduser = easyengine htpasswdpass = easyengine
By default, username and password, both are easyengine.
If you want to change the default username and password for http authentication, run the following command:
ee secure --auth
Sample output:
Provide HTTP authentication user name [easyengine]: Provide HTTP authentication password [easyengine]: Executing service nginx reload, please wait...
That’s it. After that, restart nginx service as shown below.
nginx -t && service nginx restart
Updating EasyEngine
To update to the most recent version of EasyEngine, run the following command:
sudo ee update
