Nginx是一款轻量级web服务器

下面介绍Nginx的安装过程

（MySQL和php的安装请参照这里）

1、解决依赖关系

编译安装nginx需要事先需要安装开发包组”Development Tools”和 “Development Libraries”。同时，还需要专门安装pcre-devel包：
# yum -y install pcre-devel

2、安装

首先添加用户nginx，实现以之运行nginx服务进程：
# groupadd -r nginx
# useradd -r -g nginx -s /bin/false -M nginx

接着开始编译和安装：
# ./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

说明：如果想使用nginx的perl模块，可以通过为configure脚本添加–with-http_perl_module选项来实现，但目前此模块仍处于实验性使用阶段，可能会在运行中出现意外，因此，其实现方式这里不再介绍。如果想使用基于nginx的cgi功能，也可以基于FCGI来实现，具体实现方法请参照网上的文档。

3、为nginx提供SysV init脚本:

新建文件/etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx，内容如下：
#!/bin/sh
#
# nginx – this script starts and stops the nginx daemon
#
# chkconfig: – 85 15
# description: Nginx is an HTTP(S) server, HTTP(S) reverse \
# proxy and IMAP/POP3 proxy server
# processname: nginx
# config: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# config: /etc/sysconfig/nginx
# pidfile: /var/run/nginx.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ "$NETWORKING" = "no" ] && exit 0

nginx=”/usr/sbin/nginx”
prog=$(basename $nginx)

NGINX_CONF_FILE=”/etc/nginx/nginx.conf”

[ -f /etc/sysconfig/nginx ] && . /etc/sysconfig/nginx

lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/nginx

make_dirs() {
# make required directories
user=`nginx -V 2>&1 | grep “configure arguments:” | sed ‘s/[^*]*–user=\([^ ]*\).*/\1/g’ -`
options=`$nginx -V 2>&1 | grep ‘configure arguments:’`
for opt in $options; do
if [ `echo $opt | grep '.*-temp-path'` ]; then
value=`echo $opt | cut -d “=” -f 2`
if [ ! -d "$value" ]; then
# echo “creating” $value
mkdir -p $value && chown -R $user $value
fi
fi
done
}

start() {
[ -x $nginx ] || exit 5
[ -f $NGINX_CONF_FILE ] || exit 6
make_dirs
echo -n $”Starting $prog: ”
daemon $nginx -c $NGINX_CONF_FILE
retval=$?
echo
[ $retval -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
return $retval
}

stop() {
echo -n $”Stopping $prog: ”
killproc $prog -QUIT
retval=$?
echo
[ $retval -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile
return $retval
}

restart() {
configtest || return $?
stop
sleep 1
start
}

reload() {
configtest || return $?
echo -n $”Reloading $prog: ”
killproc $nginx -HUP
RETVAL=$?
echo
}

force_reload() {
restart
}

configtest() {
$nginx -t -c $NGINX_CONF_FILE
}

rh_status() {
status $prog
}

rh_status_q() {
rh_status >/dev/null 2>&1
}

case “$1″ in
start)
rh_status_q && exit 0
$1
;;
stop)
rh_status_q || exit 0
$1
;;
restart|configtest)
$1
;;
reload)
rh_status_q || exit 7
$1
;;
force-reload)
force_reload
;;
status)
rh_status
;;
condrestart|try-restart)
rh_status_q || exit 0
;;
*)
echo $”Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload|configtest}”
exit 2
esac

而后为此脚本赋予执行权限：
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx

添加至服务管理列表，并让其开机自动启动：
# chkconfig –add nginx
# chkconfig nginx on

而后就可以启动服务并测试了：
# service nginx start
