[Bharat]

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can compile and install Nginx on CentOS 5.5 server with SSL, PCRE, GeoIP, Zlib, Gzip and DAV support.

Pre-Installation

First we install httpd-devel, pcre, pcre-devel, zlib, zlib-devel, perl, geoip and geoip-devel packages like this:

yum install -y httpd-devel pcre perl pcre-devel zlib zlib-devel GeoIP GeoIP-devel

Download required packages

cd 
wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.10.tar.gz
wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8o.tar.gz

Now you have to untar these files.

tar -xvf zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
tar -xvf pcre-8.10.tar.gz
tar -xvf openssl-0.9.8o.tar.gz

Download Nginx source package

You need to download Nginx source package from http://nginx.org/.

cd 
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-0.7.67.tar.gz
tar -xvf nginx-0.7.67.tar.gz 
cd nginx-0.7.67

Compile and Install Nginx

Now you can compile and install Nginx with the following commands:

./configure --user=nginx --group=nginx --prefix=/usr/share/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/client_body --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/proxy --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/fastcgi --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/lock/subsys/nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_perl_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-cc-opt='-m32 -march=i386' --with-openssl=/root/openssl-0.9.8o --with-pcre --with-pcre=/root/pcre-8.10 --with-zlib=/root/zlib-1.2.5 --with-http_geoip_module

You can find out more options by using the following command:

./configure --help

Now run:

make
make install
