Install nginx under Centos8 (valid for pro-test)

Install nginx under Centos8
 

I recently engaged in an Alibaba Cloud server and wanted to install nginx. I encountered a lot of problems during the installation process. Here is a share of my installation process;

Environment: Alibaba Cloud Server  

System: centos8

Nginx version: nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz

 

start installation

Install dependent packages, use yum tool to install

yum -y install gcc make zlib-devel pcre pcre-devel openssl-devel

Now start to download the nginx source package, use the wget tool to download

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz

If there is an error message such as the command does not exist when performing this step, it may be because the wget tool is not installed, and you need to use the yum tool to install the wget tool

yum -y install wget

Unzip the nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz compressed package

tar -xvf nginx-1.6.2.tar.gz

After decompression, there will be a directory file named nginx-1.6.2;
enter the nginx-1.6.2 directory and execute the configuration command

./configure

Next, compile the file, after the compilation is successful, you can see a Makefile file

make

Generally there will be problems here, the screenshots and solutions are given below

The cause of the problem: I don’t know.
Solution:
Go to the nginx-1.6.2 directory (the decompressed directory) , find the objs folder in the current directory, and enter, open the file Makefile,

vim objs/Makefile

Find the line with the following content: (just the first few lines)

CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Werror -g　

-Werror: gcc treats all warnings as errors and removes the "-Werror" from the content of this line. If you
execute make again to compile, an error will be reported. The error message is as follows:

Cause of error: I don’t know.
Solution: Edit this file

vim /usr/local/nginx-1.6.2/src/os/unix/ngx_user.c

Comment out this line in the figure

Re-execute the compilation command, generally there will be no problems

make

Perform compile and install

Perform compilation and installation, that is, copy the compiled files to the specified directory. (Copy the files in the /nginx-1.6.2 directory to /usr/local/nginx/).

make install

Start the nginx server:

 /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

Test whether the nginx server is available, ip:80
