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

yatta~

FreeBSD :- Nginx , PHP-FPM

One of my forum that I managed previously used Apache as a web server. From my observation Apache with PHP suck a lot of memory resources but that doesn't hang up the server. So google around and I found others using Apache as a proxy using reverse proxy. While Nginx serve as front end web server. The result is good! Nginx still using minimum memory usage! impressive :) But that's does not stop me from searching other solution that best for the forum, and I found solution for Nginx with PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager). Before that I've tried with spawn-fcgi but the process had died repeatedly. Not satisfied with that I've tried PHP-FPM ! Now stick with Nginx + PHP-FPM very satisfied! :)
