Vicky’s server guides

I really started to like nginx web server, and here is my procedure step by step how to install this server on CentOS 5.4

yum install gcc pcre-devel openssl-devel
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-0.7.65.tar.gz && tar xvfz nginx-0.7.65.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_gzip_static_module
make
make install
ln -s /usr/local/nginx/conf /etc/nginx
ln -s /usr/local/nginx/logs /var/log/nginx
ln -s /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx

Then grab this init script for red hat from http://wiki.nginx.org/RedHatNginxInitScript and put it in /etc/init.d/nginx file. Chmod 755 the file and you are ready.
