Install and start nginx in Linux

Since nginx depends on pcre and zlib, when installing nginx, you need to install pcre and zlib first (for convenience, I put the packages of pcre, zlib, and nginx in the same directory).

1. Install pcre

Download the tar.gz package from the official website of pcre. The official website address is: ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/, I downloaded it here It is: pcre-8.39.tar.gz

tar -zxvf pcre-8.39.tar.gz
cd pcre-8.39
./configure 
make
make install

2. Install zlib

Download the tar.gz package from the official website of zlib. The official website address is: http://zlib.net/. What I downloaded here is: zlib -1.2.8.tar.gz

tar -xvf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz 
cd zlib-1.2.8
./configure 
make
make install

3. Install nginx

Download the tar.gz package from the official website of nginx. The official website address is: http://nginx.org/en/download.html, here I download it is: nginx-1.11.2.tar.gz

tar -zxvf nginx-1.11.2.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.11.2
./configure --sbin-path=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx  --conf-path=/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf --pid-path=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx.pid --with-http_ssl_module --with-pcre=../pcre-8.39 --with-zlib=../zlib-1.2.8
make
make install

At this point, nginx is installed

4. Configure and start nginx

After the above installation steps and directory settings, the startup program of nginx is /usr/local/ nginx/sbin/nginx, the configuration file is /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf. You can modify the port, reverse proxy path, etc. in the configuration file. The command to start nginx is:

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -t   //测试nginx.conf的配置是否正确

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf  //根据nginx.conf里的配置，启动nginx服务

The above has introduced how to install and start nginx in Linux, including the relevant aspects. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
