This is a guide on setting up ownCloud with Nginx on FreeBSD 9. 

 h1. Prepare the Environment 

 * Before installation of the components, make sure everything is up to date using the following command: 
 <pre> 
 pkg update -f && pkg upgrade 
 </pre> 

 * Install portmaster: 
 <pre> 
 cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster 
 make install clean 
 pkg2ng 
 </pre> 

 --- 

 h1. Install Nginx 

 * Install Nginx 
 <pre> 
 pkg install nginx 
 </pre> 

 * Start and enable nginx at boot: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'nginx_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service nginx start 
 </pre> 

 * Create a configuration directory to make managing individual server blocks easier 
 <pre> 
 mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d 
 </pre> 

 * Edit the main nginx config file: 
 <pre> 
 vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* And strip down the config file and add the include statement at the end to make it easier to handle various server blocks: 
 <pre> 
 worker_processes    1; 
 error_log    /var/log/nginx-error.log; 

 events { 
     worker_connections    1024; 
 } 

 http { 
     include         mime.types; 
     default_type    application/octet-stream; 
     sendfile          on; 
     keepalive_timeout    65; 

     # Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory 
     include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; 
 } 
 </pre> 

 --- 

 h1. Install MySQL Server MariaDB server 

 * Start by installing the mysql56-server mariadb100-server and mysql56-client mariadb100-client packages: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install mysql56-{server,client} mariadb100-{server,client} 
 </pre> 

 * Copy a base MySQL MariaDB configuration to use: 
 <pre> 
 cp /usr/local/share/mysql/my-small.cnf /var/db/mysql/my.cnf 
 </pre> 

 * Edit the mariadb config to change the max packet size: 
 <pre> 
 vi /var/db/mysql/my.cnf 
 </pre> 
 #* and modify @max_allowed_packet@ to 32M 
 <pre> 
 max_allowed_packet = 32M 
 </pre> 

 * Enable and start MariaDB 
 <pre> 
 echo 'mysql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service mysql-server start 
 </pre> 

 * Prepare the database for use by running the secure installation: 
 <pre> 
 mysql_secure_installation 
 </pre> 
 #* *NOTE*: +Choose a strong root password+ and answer +yes+ to all questions. 

 h2. Create MySQL MariaDB Databases and Users 

 * Login to MySQL MariaDB and create appropriate databases and users. 
 <pre> 
 mysql -u root -p 
 </pre> 
 #* and run the following SQL queries to create the *ownclouddb* database and *ownclouduser* user: 
 <pre> 
 CREATE DATABASE ownclouddb CHARACTER SET utf8; 

 CREATE USER 'ownclouduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SuperSecretPassword'; 

 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ownclouddb.* TO 'ownclouduser'@'localhost'; 

 FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 

 quit 
 </pre> 

 --- 

 h1. Install PHP 

 * Install PHP 5.6 and other supporting packages: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install php56 php56-extensions php56-pgsql php56-pdo_pgsql php56-session 
 </pre> 

 * Configure the default PHP settings 
 <pre> 
 cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini 
 </pre> 

 * Edit @/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf@: 
 <pre> 
 vi /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* Make the following changes: 
 <pre> 
 listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock 
 listen.owner = www 
 listen.group = www 
 listen.mode = 0660 
 </pre> 

 * Start and enable PHP-FPM at boot: 
 <pre> 
 echo 'php_fpm_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf 
 service php-fpm start 
 </pre> 

 * Restart nginx: 
 <pre> 
 service nginx restart 
 </pre> 

 h1. Install ownCloud 

 * Install owncloud: 
 <pre> 
 pkg install owncloud 
 </pre> 

 * Create an *owncloud.example.com server block* config file: 
 <pre> 
 vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/owncloud.example.com.conf 
 </pre> 
 #* Add the following: 
 <pre> 
 upstream php-handler { 
   server unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock; 
 } 

 server { 
   listen 80; 
   server_name owncloud.example.com;
