Configuration to use as a Web server

Put in the "HTTP {

} "in the configuration section, introduced by Ngx_http_core_module. This article focuses on HTTP-related configuration segments.

Use the following configuration to enable the host to provide HTTP services and familiarize yourself with the use of "location" "Log" "Access control" and so on.

User  nginx;worker_processes  1;events {    worker_connections   1024;} http {    include       mime.types;     default_type  application/octet-stream;    sendfile         on;    keepalive_timeout  65;     server {      listen 80;       server_name www.a.com;      location = /index.html {          root  "/web/images";           index index.html;      }       location  /images {            root " /web/images ";           index index.html;      }    location / {        root  "/web/a";   }     location ~* \. (txt|text) $ {           root  "/web/txt";   }    error_page 404 =5050 /error.html;     location /sta {        root  "/web";         index index.html;        auth_basic   "Nginx info";        auth_basic_user_file  "/usr/local/ NGINX/.HTPASSWD ";        allow 172.16.0.0/16;         deny all;        access_log /usr/local/nginx/access.log;         error_log  /usr/local/nginx/error.log;    }  }}

If you want to configure Nginx support to use HTTPS, you need to configure the following

  server {        listen        443 ssl;        server_name  www.b.com;         ssl_certificate      /etc/nginx/ ssl/nginx.crt;   #存放CA颁发的证书         ssl_certificate_key   /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;   #存放私钥         ssl_session_ Cache    shared:ssl:1m;        ssl_session_timeout   5m;        ssl_ciphers  high:!anull:! md5;        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;         location / {             root   /vhosts/web1;            index   index.html index.htm;        }    }
