I’m sure you all know that installing nginx with yum is very convenient, but some plug-ins do not install by default, such as http_image_filter_module, so we need to compile and install nginx. Let’s take a look at the details.

Install dependencies

yum install -y pcre-devel libmxl2-devel libxslt-devel gd-devel

Install nginx

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.9.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nginx-1.9.1.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.9.1
./configure\
 --user=nginx\
 --group=nginx\
 --with-http_ssl_module\
 --with-http_spdy_module\
 --with-http_realip_module\
 --with-http_addition_module\
 --with-http_xslt_module\
 --with-http_image_filter_module\
 --with-http_sub_module\
 --with-http_auth_request_module\
 --with-http_stub_status_module\
 --with-http_gzip_static_module
make
make install

Once the installation is complete, you can use the following command to view the modules installed by nginx

[root@linux001 ~]# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.9.1
built by gcc 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11) (GCC)
built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_spdy_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_auth_request_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_image_filter_module

Add startup script

New file/etc/init d/nginx, content is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
#
# nginx - this script starts and stops the nginx daemon
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15
# description: Nginx is an HTTP(S) server, HTTP(S) reverse \
#    proxy and IMAP/POP3 proxy server
# processname: nginx
# config:  /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

# pidfile: /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.

   if [ ! -d "$value" ]; then
    # echo "creating" $value
    mkdir -p $value && chown -R $user $value

 done
}

Add/etc/init d/nginx, need to increase the execute permissions, and then you can use the script to start and stop nginx.

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/nginx
/etc/init.d/nginx start
/etc/init.d/nginx stop
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
/etc/init.d/nginx reload

Or start and stop nginx with a service.

service nginx start
service nginx stop
service nginx restart
service nginx reload

Set auto-start

chkconfig --add nginx
chkconfig --level 345 on
