LNMP Environment: Configuration Files and Installation Directories (Updated)

LNMP Software Installation Directories

The following are the default installation paths for core components in the LNMP one-click installation package (based on the latest version). Note that some paths may vary depending on installation options or custom compilation.

Core Service Directories

• Nginx: /usr/local/nginx/
• MySQL: /usr/local/mysql/
  • Database data directory: /usr/local/mysql/var/
• MariaDB: /usr/local/mariadb/
  • Database data directory: /usr/local/mariadb/var/
• PHP: /usr/local/php/
• Redis: /usr/local/redis/

Web-Related Directories

• Default Website Root Directory: /home/wwwroot/ (Newer versions typically use /home/wwwroot/default/)
• Nginx Log Directory: /home/wwwlogs/
• phpMyAdmin Directory: Typically located at /home/wwwroot/default/phpmyadmin/. For security, strongly recommended to rename it to a non-obvious name or replace it with a fresh download from the official site.

FTP Service Directories

• PureFtpd: /usr/local/pureftpd/
  • Web management interface: Typically at /home/wwwroot/default/ftp/
• Proftpd: /usr/local/proftpd/

Configuration File Directories

• Virtual Host Configuration Directory (added by the vhost.sh script): /usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost/

LNMP Core Configuration File Locations

When managing an LNMP environment, you often need to modify the following configuration files. Always back up before making changes.

Web Server Configuration

• Nginx Main Configuration: /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
• Virtual Host Configuration: /usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost/domain.conf

Database Configuration

• MySQL/MariaDB Configuration: /etc/my.cnf

PHP Configuration

• PHP Main Configuration: /usr/local/php/etc/php.ini
• PHP-FPM Process Manager Configuration: /usr/local/php/etc/php-fpm.conf

FTP Service Configuration

• PureFtpd Main Configuration: /usr/local/pureftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
• PureFtpd MySQL Authentication Configuration: /usr/local/pureftpd/pureftpd-mysql.conf
• Proftpd Main Configuration: /usr/local/proftpd/etc/proftpd.conf
• Proftpd User Configuration: /usr/local/proftpd/etc/vhost/username.conf

Cache Service Configuration

• Redis Configuration: /usr/local/redis/etc/redis.conf

Important Notes and Best Practices

1. Version Differences: Paths mentioned for older versions (e.g., "0.9", "1.0") are outdated. The current LNMP package structure is unified. Always refer to your installed version and official documentation.

2. Security Recommendations:

• Place management tools like phpMyAdmin in non-standard directories or restrict access by IP.
• Regularly check configuration file permissions to prevent sensitive information leaks.

3. Configuration File Changes: After modifying any core configuration file (e.g., nginx.conf, my.cnf), you must restart the corresponding service for changes to take effect.

4. Path Verification: If unsure of a specific path, use commands like find or whereis. Example: find / -name 'nginx.conf' 2>/dev/null.
