Nginx installation and configuration under Linux

Compile and install nginx

Note: When compiling and installing nginx, there should be a dedicated startup user, we set this user to www

Create a dedicated startup user www

• useradd www -s /sbin/nologin -M

• ./configure --prefix=/data1/server/nginx --user=www --group=www

Nginx startup test:

• /data1/server/nginx/sbin/nginx
• netstat -tnulp | grep nginx
