1. Resolve dependencies
To compile and install nginx, you need to install the development package groups "Development Tools" and "Development Libraries" in advance. At the same time, you also need to install the pcre-devel package:
# yum -y install pcre-devel
2. Add a system user to realize the service process that runs nginx with it
groupadd -r nginx
useradd -r -g nginx nginx
id nginx View the newly created user id
3. Compile and install
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
--http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
--pid-path=/var/run/nginx/nginx.pid \
--lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \
--user=nginx \
--group=nginx \
--with-http_ssl_module \
--with-http_flv_module \
--with-http_stub_status_module \
--with-http_gzip_static_module \
--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/ \
--http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/uwsgi \
--http-scgi-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/scgi \
--with-pcre
make && make install

vim /etc/init.d/nginx

esac
Add execute permission
chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx
Add it to the service management list and let it start automatically at boot:
chkconfig --add nginx
chkconfig nginx on
chkconfig --list nginx to view the additions
start service script
service nginx start
