Install PHP-FPM 5.4 in Ubuntu 12.04.4 + Nginx

For the startup i'm following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-12-04 tutorial to installing LEMP (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP) in my VPS. The server Run perfectly. But then for my project i used Laravel 4.2 which required PHP 5.4 for minimal requirement. So then i upgrade the PHP by following http://www.dev-metal.com/how-to-install-latest-php-5-4-x-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin/:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

After that when i try to view page that contain php code, the server going error.
I view Nginx error from "/var/log/nginx/error.log"

2014/06/10 06:37:18 [crit] 481#0: *1 connect() to unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "yourdomain.com"

Then found some solution from http://www.queryadmin.com/921/connect-unix-var-run-php5-fpm-sock-failed/:
Edit the pool file "/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf" and change:

listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

to this:

listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

Edit the Nginx vHost file "/etc/nginx/sites-available/default" and change:

location ~ \.php$
{
    ...
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    ...
}

to this:

location ~ \.php$
{
    ...
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    ...
}

** If you wrote the fastcgi_pass on /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params file, edit it too.

Restart PHP5-FPM service:

/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

Restart Nginx service:

/etc/init.d/nginx restart

That's it, you may solved the issue now. Have Fun.

How to Run Twitter Bootstrap Documentation in Windows

Hi, you can arrived at here must be because you are Twitter Bootstrap Lover just like me.
Anyway in Twitter Bootstrap version 3.x.x, it's Documentation Changed from pure HTML Files to Jekyll Site. You Can Run it Easely with following Guides Below :

1. Download Ruby Application Stack From Bitnami. Latest version is Better. Here's the Link : http://bitnami.com/stack/ruby then install it.

2. Download Twitter Bootstrap 3.x.x Source Code from GitHub (Documentation Included in Source Code) :
- Latest :
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/archive/master.zip
- Archived Version :
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/archive/v3.1.1.zip
then Extract it to wherever place you like, eg: "C:\Users\zemmy\Desktop\bootstrap".
3. After that you can follow guide from here to install Jekyll in Windows OS. Or you can follow my following Guide :

• Make sure you have installed Bitnami Ruby Application Stack and Connected to Internet.
• Open "Use Bitnami Ruby Stack" from Windows Start Menu or from C:\BitNami\rubystack-1.9.x-xx\use_ruby.bat, then Bitnami Ruby Command Console will open. Then type "gem install jekyll --version "=1.4.2"".
• After Jekyll Gem Installation Done, type in Bitnami Ruby Command Console "cd C:\Users\zemmy\Desktop\bootstrap" to go to Extracted Twitter Bootstrap Source Code and Documentation Folder.
• Type "chcp 65001" in Bitnami Ruby Command Console.
• From the root /bootstrap directory, run "jekyll serve" in the command line.

Voila, Twitter Bootstrap Documentation can Accessible from "http://localhost:9001/"

Update:
For Windows 8 or 8.1 User, if you type "chcp 65001" in Bitnami Ruby Command Console, the Jekyll can't process HTML Page, so blank page will be seen in "http://localhost:9001/".
So to fix this, just skip type "chcp 65001" in Bitnami Ruby Command Console.
