A brief nginx

Nginx is a lightweight web server, reverse proxy server. Compared to Apache, lighttpd has possession of less memory, high stability advantages. ** It is the most common use is to provide reverse proxy service. **

 

Nginx second mounting step (following the installation procedure recommended whole root)

In Centos, yum nginx installation source is not available, may be obtained by mounting a handover source yum. You can also directly download the installation package of the method, the following command ** ** required root permission to perform : 
   first install the necessary libraries (nginx in gzip module requires zlib library, rewrite module requires pcre library, ssl feature requires openssl library). Selected ** / usr / local ** for the installation directory, the following specific version number based on the actual change.

 

1 mounted gcc gcc-c ++

# yum install -y gcc gcc-c++

 

2 Install PCRE library

# cd /usr/local/
# wget http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pcre/pcre/8.33/pcre-8.33.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf pcre-8.33.tar.gz
# cd pcre-8.33
# ./configure
# make && make install

 

3 Install SSL library

# cd /usr/local/
# wget https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz
# cd openssl-1.0.1j
# ./config
# make && make install

 

4 installed zlib library

# cd /usr/local/

# cd nginx-1.8.0 
# ./configure --user=nobody --group=nobody --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre-8.33 --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib-1.2.11
(注: --with-http_ssl_module:这个不加后面在nginx.conf配置ssl:on后,启动会报nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "ssl" in /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf 异常)
