The steps for installing the nginx on Ubuntu below.
1、install the packages first.
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
apt-get install openssl openssl-dev
2、download the source code of nginx from the website http://nginx.org/en/download.html
3、 uncompress the downloaded nginx file.
tar zxvf nginx-1.8.0
4、install nginx.
su root #using root user to install nginx
cd /home/pinxiong/pinxiong/nginx-1.8.0/ #the directory is the unpressed nginx's dictory.
./configure
make
make install
5、check if nginx configure is right.
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nginx# ./sbin/nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful
6、check if nginx had started.
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nginx# ps -ax | grep nginx
17050 ? Ss 0:00 nginx: master process ./sbin/nginx
17051 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17052 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17053 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17054 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17055 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17056 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17057 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17058 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17059 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17060 ? S 0:00 nginx: worker process
17062 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto nginx
7、check if nginx can work well.
open your browser and then type the web address localhost/index.html . It’s OK if you can see a webpage showing “Welcome to nginx!“, or failed otherwise.
