download

http://nginx.org/en/download.html

Unzip

Unzip the downloaded nginx-1.19.8.zip compressed package to D:/applications directory.

The directory structure after decompression is as follows:

<img src="images\nginx-directory.png" style="zoom:80%;border:1px solid gray;" />

Configuration

Find the nginx.conf file in the conf directory and back it up before modifying it.

The modified content is as follows:

worker_processes 1;
 
events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}
 
 
http {
    include mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
 
    sendfile on;
 
    keepalive_timeout 65;
 
 
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;
 
        location / {
            root D:/mycodes/movable-termination;
            index index.html index.htm;
        }
 
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root D:/mycodes/movable-termination ;
        }
 
    }
 
}

Notice

1. 80 after listen indicates the listening port (80 is the default port for WWW service)

2. localhost after server_name indicates the local host. You can access it through http://localhost or http://localhost:80 in the browser address bar in the future.

3 The root option under localtion / option is used to determine the root directory of the WWW service. That is, when accessing http://localhost:80/index.html , index.html will be found in the directory corresponding to root , that is, the directory corresponding to the / after :80 in http://localhost:80/index.html . root in the location = /50x.html option indicates the directory where the jump page is located after an error occurs on the server.

start up

First enter the nginx directory:

cd nginx-1.19.8

Start nginx in the command prompt:

start nginx

After startup, you can see two nginx processes in the task manager

Reload after modifying the configuration to take effect:

nginx -s reload

Orderly exit

nginx -s quit

Fast closing

nginx -s stop

Multiple nginx processes may be started due to multiple nginx starts. In this case, you need to list the information related to these processes:

tasklist /fi "imagename eq nginx.exe"

If you need to kill all these processes, you can use the following command:

taskkill /f /t /im nginx.exe

Note: tasklist, taskkill, and start are all native Windows commands, not provided by nginx.
