Installing Nginx on FreeBSD 8.0

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

FAMPP - Installing MySQL Server

simpler command :) #pkg_add -r mysql51-server from this command it will install mysql server and also mysql client for the server once done we can enable it on boot up by editing rc.conf #ee /etc/rc.conf add this following line mysql_enable="YES" After that we can start the service by this command : #sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql- server.sh start Then we have to configure our root login for mysql which is by default it is blank. By using a password for the root login it will be more safe to outsider :) #mysql -u root #SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('urpasswordhere'); once done try to login using root user #mysql -u root -p Enter password: If that appear then you have successfully configuring your mysql server :)
