  • FW: Install nginx on Centos 6.x

    http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-nginx-centos-rhel-6-server-rpm-using-yum-command/

     

    Step #1: Install nginx repo

    # cd /tmp
    # wget http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm
    # rpm -ivh     nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm

    Step #2: Install nginx web-server

    # yum install nginx

    Step #3: Turn on nginx service

    # chkconfig nginx on

    How do I start / stop / restart nginx web-server?

    # service nginx start
    # service nginx stop
    # service nginx restart
    # service nginx status
    # service nginx reload

    Step #4: Configuration files

    1. Default configuration directory: /etc/nginx/
    2. Default SSL and vhost config directory: /etc/nginx/conf.d/
    3. Default log file directory: /var/log/nginx/
    4. Default document root directory: /usr/share/nginx/html
    5. Default configuration file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    6. Default server access log file: /var/log/nginx/access.log
    7. Default server access log file: /var/log/nginx/error.log

    To edit the nginx configuration file, enter:
    # nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

    Set or update worker_processes as follows (this must be set to CPU(s) in your system. Use the lscpu | grep ‘^CPU(s)’ command to list the number of CPUs in the server)

    worker_processes  2;

    Turn on gzip support:

    gzip  on;

     

    Edit the file /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf, enter:
    # nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
    Set IP address and TCP port number:

        listen       199.241.137.179:80;

    Set server name:

        server_name  vps.zhenglei.net;

     

    Start the server:
    # service nginx start
    Verify that everything is working:
    # netstat -tulpn | grep :80
    # ps aux | grep nginx

    Firewall configuration: Open TCP port # 80

    Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables, enter:
    # nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
    Add the following lines, ensuring that they appear before the final LOG and DROP lines for the INPUT chain to open port 80:

     
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

    Save and close the file. Finally, restart the firewall:
    # service iptables restart
