Akeneo PIM with Nginx and PHP 7 on Lemp Stack Centmin Mod

Greetings, Akeneo is Product Information Management (PIM) which is a system that centralizes and harmonizes all your marketing and technical information for product listings and catalogs. It currently integrates well with Magento. Through the help of the Lord I was able to get this installed on Centmin Mod using Nginx and PHP 7.0.16, it has took a very long time but here is a version that is successfully installed. I will not go over integrating it with magento only to install it on Centmin Mod.

More information here: What is a PIM - Akeneo - The Open Source PIM

Please note for the majority of E commerce Websites using a PIM solution may be a little extreme.

make a copy of /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf named /usr/local/nginx/conf/php_pim.conf via ssh command line type

Code (Text):

cp -a /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf /usr/local/nginx/conf/php_pim.conf

Edit the document by replacing the code below.

Code (Text):

nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/php_pim.conf

Code (Text):

location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/503include-only.conf;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
    if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
        return 404;
    }

    #fastcgi_pass   unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;

    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $request_filename;
    #fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE open_basedir=$document_root/:/usr/local/lib/php/:/tmp/;

Modify PHP Settings

Code (Text):

 nano /etc/centminmod/php.d/b_customphp.ini

My settings

Code (Text):

date.timezone = UTC
max_execution_time = 160
short_open_tag = Off
realpath_cache_size = 640k
realpath_cache_ttl = 86400
upload_max_filesize = 800M
memory_limit = 4096M
post_max_size = 800M
expose_php = Off
mail.add_x_header = Off
max_input_nesting_level = 128
max_input_vars = 10000
mysqlnd.net_cmd_buffer_size = 16384
always_populate_raw_post_data=-1

You may want to adjust the memory_limit 1024M but you can go lower if need be to 512M.

Change directory and Install Akeneo via Composer
This depends on your preference but I like my application to sit in the root directory.

Code (Text):

cd /home/nginx/domains/pim.domain.com/
composer create-project --prefer-dist akeneo/pim-community-standard ./pim-project "1.7.*@stable"

During Composer install you will have to enter your database information that composer set up earlier. Change the folder name from pim-project to public the:

Code (Text):

chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pim.domain.com/public

Finish Installation

Code (Text):

cd /home/nginx/domains/pim.domain.com/public
composer install --optimize-autoloader --prefer-dist
php app/console cache:clear --env=prod
php app/console pim:install --env=prod
chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/pim.domain.com/public

Visit pim.domain.com and you should get the login screen with the default password being admin/admin. Finish install by going to Installing Akeneo PIM Community Edition (CE) with the Archive — Akeneo PIM documentation to finish configuring the site. Please also note that NGINX is not officially supported. It took me a long while but through the Lord's help I was able to install Akeneo! God bless you!
