NGINX server

How to install NGINX:

To install nginx type

#apt-get install nginx

To restart the nginx service

# /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Then go to the file and default file it will be generated will nstalling nginx

#rm -rf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

# rm -rf /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

To create a new configuration file

# vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/basic

Inside the file use this format

server {
  listen  127.0.0.1:80;
  server_name  basic;
  access_log  /var/log/nginx/basic.access.log;
  error_log  /var/log/nginx/basic.error.log;
  location  / {
    root  /var/www/basic;
    index  index.html index.htm;
  }
}

Then create a root directory and index.html file

# mkdir /var/www/basic

# cd /var/www/basic

# vim index.html

here type your website files

To enable the site and restart nginx

# cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

# ln -s ../sites-available/basic 

# /etc/init.d/nginx restart
then go to browser and type http;//127.0.0.1/ then your site will be open using  nginx

STATIC IP PROCESS:

for this you have to assign static ip

# vim /etc/network/interface

there change the address, netmask, gateway for example

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

address 192.168.1.249

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

then save

after that go to resolv.conf

# vim /etc/resolv.conf

and here #(comment) the old name server

if you are using internet means give the dns server name of the service provider

then save

then go to the nginx for ip resolution

RESOLVING THE SITE WITH IP ADDRESS:

# vim /etc/nginx/sites-avialable/basic

server {

listen 192.168.1.249:80; (here it is new ip address which we have given)

server_name basic;

access_log /var/log/nginx/basic.access.log;

error_log /var/log/nginx/basic.error.log;

location / {

root /var/www/basic;

index index.html index.htm;

}

}

then save

then go

#vim /etc/hosts

give the new ip address and name of server

for exp: 192.168.1.249 basic

then save

then after start the service

#/etc/init.d/nginx restart

then go to browser and give the new address.

TO RESOLVE NGINX WITH HOSTNAME:

Go to nginx

# vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/basic

then

server {

listen 192.168.1.249:80;

server_name sunny.example.com; (which we would like to give)

access_log /var/log/nginx/basic.access.log;

error_log /var/log/nginx/basic.error.log;

location / {

root /var/www/basic;

index index.html index.htm;

}

}

then save

then go to

# vim /etc/hosts

192.168.1.249 sunny.example.com

then save

after this start the service

#/etc/init.d/nginx restart

then go browser and type the server name like sunny.example.com then the site will be resolved
