+# Deploying Nominatim
+
+The Nominatim API is implemented as a PHP application. The `website/` directory
+in the build directory contains the configured website. You can serve this
+in a production environment with any web server that is capable to run
+PHP scripts.
+
+This section gives a quick overview on how to configure Apache and Nginx to
+serve Nominatim. It is not meant as a full system administration guide on how
+to run a web service. Please refer to the documentation of
+[Apache](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/) and
+[Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/)
+for background information on configuring the services.
+
+!!! Note
+ Throughout this page, we assume that your Nominatim build directory is
+ located in `/srv/nominatim/build` and the source code in
+ `/srv/nominatim/Nominatim`. If you have put it somewhere else, you
+ need to adjust the commands and configuration accordingly.
+
+ We further assume that your web server runs as user `www-data`. Older
+ versions of CentOS may still use the user name `apache`. You also need
+ to adapt the instructions in this case.
+
+## Making the website directory accessible
+
+You need to make sure that the `website` directory is accessible for the
+web server user. You can check that the permissions are correct by accessing
+on of the php files as the web server user:
+
+``` sh
+sudo -u www-data head -n 1 /srv/nominatim/build/website/search.php
+```
+
+If this shows a permission error, then you need to adapt the permissions of
+each directory in the path so that it is executable for `www-data`.
+
+If you have SELinux enabled, further adjustments may be necessary to give the
+web server access. At a minimum the following SELinux labelling should be done
+for Nominatim:
+
+``` sh
+sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/srv/nominatim/Nominatim/(website|lib|settings)(/.*)?"
+sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/srv/nominatim/build/(website|settings)(/.*)?"
+sudo semanage fcontext -a -t lib_t "/srv/nominatim/build/module/nominatim.so"
+sudo restorecon -R -v /srv/nominatim/Nominatim
+sudo restorecon -R -v /srv/nominatim/build
+```
+
+## Nominatim with Apache
+
+### Installing the required packages
+
+With Apache you can use the PHP module to run Nominatim.
+
+Under Ubuntu/Debian install them with:
+
+``` sh
+sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php
+```
+
+### Configuring Apache
+
+Make sure your Apache configuration contains the required permissions for the
+directory and create an alias:
+
+``` apache
+<Directory "/srv/nominatim/build/website">
+ Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+ AddType text/html .php
+ DirectoryIndex search.php
+ Require all granted
+</Directory>
+Alias /nominatim /srv/nominatim/build/website
+```
+
+After making changes in the apache config you need to restart apache.
+The website should now be available on `http://localhost/nominatim`.
+
+## Nominatim with Nginx
+
+### Installing the required packages
+
+Nginx has no built-in PHP interpreter. You need to use php-fpm as a deamon for
+serving PHP cgi.
+
+On Ubuntu/Debian install nginx and php-fpm with:
+
+``` sh
+sudo apt install nginx php-fpm
+```
+
+### Configure php-fpm and Nginx
+
+By default php-fpm listens on a network socket. If you want it to listen to a
+Unix socket instead, change the pool configuration
+(`/etc/php/<php version>/fpm/pool.d/www.conf`) as follows:
+
+``` ini
+; Replace the tcp listener and add the unix socket
+listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock
+
+; Ensure that the daemon runs as the correct user
+listen.owner = www-data
+listen.group = www-data
+listen.mode = 0666
+```
+
+Tell nginx that php files are special and to fastcgi_pass to the php-fpm
+unix socket by adding the location definition to the default configuration.
+
+``` nginx
+root /srv/nominatim/build/website;
+index search.php;
+location / {
+ try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
+}
+
+location @php {
+ fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "$document_root$uri.php";
+ fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED "$document_root$uri.php";
+ fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
+ fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
+ fastcgi_index index.php;
+ include fastcgi_params;
+}
+
+location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
+ fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
+ if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
+ return 404;
+ }
+ fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
+ fastcgi_index search.php;
+ include fastcgi.conf;
+}
+```
+
+Restart the nginx and php-fpm services and the website should now be available
+at `http://localhost/`.
+
swapping or you are getting out-of-memory errors, reduce the cache size or
even consider using a flatnode file.
-### Verify import finished
+### Verify the import
Run this script to verify all required tables and indices got created successfully.
### Setting up the website
-Run the following command to set up the `website/settings-frontend.php`.
-These settings are used in website/*.php files. You can use the website only after this
-step is completed.
+Run the following command to set up the configuration file for the website
+`settings/settings-frontend.php`. These settings are used in website/*.php files.
```sh
./utils/setup.php --setup-website
!!! Note
This step is not necessary if you use `--all` option while setting up the DB.
+Now you can try out your installation by running:
+
+```sh
+make serve
+```
+
+This runs a small test server normally used for development. You can use it
+to verify that your installation is working. Go to
+`http://localhost:8088/status.php` and you should see the message `OK`.
+You can also run a search query, e.g. `http://localhost:8088/search.php?q=Berlin`.
+
+To run Nominatim via webservers like Apache or nginx, please read the
+[Deployment chapter](Deployment.md).
+
## Tuning the database
Accurate word frequency information for search terms helps PostgreSQL's query
wget https://nominatim.org/data/tiger2019-nominatim-preprocessed.tar.gz
tar xf tiger2019-nominatim-preprocessed.tar.gz
- `data-source/overview.md` explains how the data got preprocessed.
-
2. Import the data into your Nominatim database:
./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data
```
+See the [developer's guide](../develop/data-sources.md#us-census-tiger) for more
+information on how the data got preprocessed.
+
* [PHP](https://php.net) (7.0 or later)
* PHP-pgsql
* PHP-intl (bundled with PHP)
- * a webserver (apache or nginx are recommended)
For running continuous updates:
Even on a well configured machine the import of a full planet takes
at least 2 days. Without SSDs 7-8 days are more realistic.

-### PostgreSQL tuning
+## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
You might want to tune your PostgreSQL installation so that the later steps
make best use of your hardware. You should tune the following parameters in
corruption.
-### Webserver setup
+## Downloading and building Nominatim
+
+### Downloading the latest release
+
+You can download the [latest release from nominatim.org](https://nominatim.org/downloads/).
+The release contains all necessary files. Just unpack it.
-The `website/` directory in the build directory contains the configured
-website. Include the directory into your webbrowser to serve php files
-from there.
+### Downloading the latest development version
-#### Configure for use with Apache
+If you want to install latest development version from github, make sure to
+also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
+
+```
+git clone --recursive git://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+```
-Make sure your Apache configuration contains the required permissions for the
-directory and create an alias:
+The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:
-``` apache
-<Directory "/srv/nominatim/build/website">
- Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
- AddType text/html .php
- DirectoryIndex search.php
- Require all granted
-</Directory>
-Alias /nominatim /srv/nominatim/build/website
```
+wget -O Nominatim/data/country_osm_grid.sql.gz https://www.nominatim.org/data/country_grid.sql.gz
+```
+
+### Building Nominatim
+
+The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
+change into it.
-`/srv/nominatim/build` should be replaced with the location of your
-build directory.
-
-After making changes in the apache config you need to restart apache.
-The website should now be available on http://localhost/nominatim.
-
-#### Configure for use with Nginx
-
-Use php-fpm as a deamon for serving PHP cgi. Install php-fpm together with nginx.
-
-By default php listens on a network socket. If you want it to listen to a
-Unix socket instead, change the pool configuration (`pool.d/www.conf`) as
-follows:
-
- ; Comment out the tcp listener and add the unix socket
- ;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
- listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
-
- ; Ensure that the daemon runs as the correct user
- listen.owner = www-data
- listen.group = www-data
- listen.mode = 0666
-
-Tell nginx that php files are special and to fastcgi_pass to the php-fpm
-unix socket by adding the location definition to the default configuration.
-
-``` nginx
-root /srv/nominatim/build/website;
-index search.php;
-location / {
- try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
-}
-
-location @php {
- fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "$document_root$uri.php";
- fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED "$document_root$uri.php";
- fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index index.php;
- include fastcgi_params;
-}
-
-location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
- fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
- if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
- return 404;
- }
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.3-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index search.php;
- include fastcgi.conf;
-}
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
```
-Restart the nginx and php5-fpm services and the website should now be available
-at `http://localhost/`.
+Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
+build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:
+```
+cmake ../Nominatim
+make
+```
