Nginx source code compilation and installation

Generally we need to first install Pcre, Zlib, the former in order to rewrite rewrite, the latter in order to gzip compression.
1. Select the source directory
Can be any directory, this article is selected/USR/LOCAL/SRC

Cd/usr/local/src

2. Installing the Pcre Library
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Download the latest pcre source package, download the compile and install the Pcre package using the command below:

Cd/usr/local/srcwget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.34.tar.gz TAR-ZXVF PCRE-8.34.TAR.GZCD Pcre-8.34./configuremakemake Install

3. Installing the Zlib Library
http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz Download the latest zlib source package, download the compile and install the zlib package using the command below:

Cd/usr/local/srcwget HTTP://ZLIB.NET/ZLIB-1.2.8.TAR.GZTAR-ZXVF ZLIB-1.2.8.TAR.GZCD Zlib-1.2.8./configuremakemake Install

4. Install SSL (some VPS does not install SSL by default)

Cd/usr/local/srcwget HTTP://WWW.OPENSSL.ORG/SOURCE/OPENSSL-1.0.1C.TAR.GZTAR-ZXVF openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz

5. Installing Nginx

Nginx generally has two versions, the stable version and the development version, you can choose one of these two versions according to your purpose, below is the detailed steps of installing nginx into the/usr/local/nginx directory:

Cd/usr/local/srcwget HTTP://NGINX.ORG/DOWNLOAD/NGINX-1.4.2.TAR.GZTAR-ZXVF NGINX-1.4.2.TAR.GZCD nginx-1.4.2./ Configure--sbin-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx--conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/nginx.conf--pid-path=/usr/local/nginx/ Nginx.pid--with-http_ssl_module--with-pcre=/usr/local/src/pcre-8.34--with-zlib=/usr/local/src/zlib-1.2.8-- With-openssl=/usr/local/src/openssl-1.0.1cmakemake Install

--with-pcre=/usr/src/pcre-8.34 refers to the pcre-8.34 source path.
--with-zlib=/usr/src/zlib-1.2.7 refers to the zlib-1.2.7 source path.

After the installation is successful, the/usr/local/nginx directory is as follows

fastcgi.conf            koi-win             nginx.conf.defaultfastcgi.conf.default    logs                Scgi_paramsfastcgi_params          mime.types          scgi_params.defaultfastcgi_params.default  mime.types.default  uwsgi_paramshtml                    Nginx               uwsgi_params.defaultkoi-utf                 nginx.conf          Win-utf

6. Start
Ensure that the 80 port of the system is not occupied by other programs, run the/usr/local/nginx/nginx command to start Nginx,

Netstat-ano|grep 80

If the results are not found after the execution, the result is ignored this step (Ubuntu must be started with sudo, or can only be run in the foreground)

Sudo/usr/local/nginx/nginx

Open the browser to access the IP of this machine if the browser appears Welcome to nginx! Indicates that Nginx is installed and running successfully.
