The windows version of nginx uses

One of the nginx functions can start a local server and access target files by configuring server_name and root directory, etc.

1. Download

Unzip after download

2. Modify the configuration file

The nginx configuration file is in nginx-1.8.0\conf\nginx.conf

http {
     gzip  on;

    #static files
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  static.cnblog.com;

        location / {
            root   G:/source/static_cnblog_com;
        }
    }

    #html file
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  127.0.0.1 localhost;

        location / {
            root   G:/source/html/mobile/dist;
            index  index.html index.htm;
        }
    }
}

As shown in the figure above, multiple servers can be configured, so that accessing localhost will access the G:/source/html/mobile/dist directory, and you can also enable gzip to compress html

3. Start

Be careful not to double-click nginx.exe directly, this will make it invalid to restart and stop nginx after modifying the configuration, you need to manually close all nginx processes in the task manager

In the nginx.exe directory, open the command line tool and use the command to start/shutdown/restart nginx

start nginx : start nginx

nginx -s reload : Reload takes effect after modifying the configuration

nginx -s reopen : reopen the log file
nginx -t -c /path/to/nginx.conf to test whether the nginx configuration file is correct

Shut down nginx:
nginx -s stop : stop nginx quickly
nginx -s quit : stop nginx in a complete and orderly manner

If an error is encountered:

bash: nginx: command not found

It is possible that you have run the windows command in the linux command line environment,

If you allowed nginx -s reload to report errors before, try ./nginx -s reload

Or use the command line tool that comes with the Windows system to run
