As promised here are some install instruction – or better would be to say how I did it.
Download and unpack the latest source from http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall. I selected the development version.
server ~ / $ tar zxvf nginx-0.8.35.tar.gz |
server ~ / $ cd nginx-0.8.35 server ~ / $ ./configure --user=nginx --group=nginx \ --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/client/ \ --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/proxy/ \ --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/fcgi/ \ --with-http_dav_module --with-http_realip_module \ --with-http_stub_status_module |
You might need to install additional package depending on your distribution. If the configure return no errors it is time to compile with the following commands:
server ~ / $ make server ~ / $ make install |
To not mess up to much I prefer to install in the /usr/local/nginx folder and do symlink where needed.
server ~ / $ useradd nginx server ~ / $ usermod -a -G nginx nginx server ~ / $ ln -s /usr/local/nginx/conf /etc/nginx server ~ / $ mkdir /etc/nginx/conf.d server ~ / $ mkdir -p /var/tmp/nginx/client server ~ / $ mkdir -p /var/tmp/nginx/proxy server ~ / $ mkdir -p /var/tmp/nginx/fcgi server ~ / $ mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available server ~ / $ mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled server ~ / $ ln -s /usr/local/nginx/logs /var/log/nginx server ~ / $ ln -s /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx |
Do some configuration as explained in the post nginx and PHP
