• Cubian is a Linux operating system designed for Cubieboard based on Debian wheezy.

• After a reboot, and an active internet connection, login in Cubian (user: cubie, pwd: cubie) and run:

   $sudo apt-get update
   $sudo apt-get upgrade

• Then,install LXDE with:

   $sudo apt-get install lxde

(Nb: It requires a download of 165 MB of data)

• During the installation of LXDE it's possible to choose the keyboard layout and language.

• After the installation reboot the mechine:

   $sudo reboot

• After the login, I change the password of Cubie user:

   $sudo passwd cubie

(NB insert the new password twice)

• And I install the Midnight Commander:

   $sudo apt-get install mc

• And finally:

   $sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

(NB: You will be asked to provide a password for the MySQL root user.)

• On Debian this web server have a package, therefore:

   $sudo apt-get install nginx

• And start the server:

   $sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

• If all is ok, type in the IP address of web server (or localhost) in your web browser and you should see the following page:

(NB The default document root in Nginx is located in /usr/share/nginx/www)

• PHP5 works in nginx through PHP-FPM (PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager), an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation:

   $sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

(Note: PHP-FPM is a daemon process (with the init script /etc/init.d/php5-fpm) that runs a FastCGI server on the socket /var/run/php5-fpm.sock.)

• We need to make one small change in the php configuration file, then open php.ini:

   $sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

• And find the line

   ;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

• And remove ; and change the 1 to 0

• Save and exit.It's necessary another small change in the php5-fpm configuration.Open up www.conf:

   $sudo nano /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

• And verify that the listen directive is set to /var/run/php5-fpm.sock.

• Save and Exit and restart php-fpm:

   $sudo service php5-fpm restart

• Open the default virtual host file

   $sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

• The configuration should include the changes below

• Save and exit.Now, create a php test page:

   $sudo nano /usr/share/nginx/www/info.php

• Add in the following line:

   <?php
     phpinfo();
   ?>

• Then Save and Exit and restart nginx.The nginx and php-fpm configuration is in http://localhost/info.php

• Next: Phpmyadmin, Webmin, VNCserver and Owncloud
