Nginx (engine-X) is a light and fast web server to serve a static & dynamic web content. It has many features that can be enable from the modules. Witha lower memory consumption, it is the choice for a busy web server. Nginx can be configured to replace the popular Apache web server next time :)
we are going to install Nginx with a basic configuration on FreeBSD 8.0.
1) Update your ports
shell> cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
2) Install from ports
shell> cd /usr/ports/www/nginx
shell> make configure
shell> make install distclean
Make sure you install modules that you required to use.
3) Enable at boot
shell> nano /etc/rc.conf
add :
nginx_enable="YES"
To start the nginx simply run this command :
shell> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx start
Configuration file :
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Log file :
/var/log/nginx-error.log
/var/log/nginx-access.log
Document root :
/usr/local/www/nginx
