Installation of Nginx

Step 1: Add the nginx user useradd -s /bin/false nginx . Step 2: Install the following, use yum install gcc openssl-devel pcre-devel zlib-devel GeoIP* Step 3: Download the stable version . Step 4: Extract the tar.gz file. Step 5: Configuration, ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \ --conf-path=/etc/conf/nginx/nginx.conf \ --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \ --pid-path=/var/run/nginx/nginx.pid \ --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \ --user=nginx \ --group=nginx \ --with-http_ssl_module \ --with-http_flv_module \ --with-http_gzip_static_module \ --with-http_geoip_module \ --with-http_realip_module \ --with-http_stub_status_module \ --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \ --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/www/nginx/client/ \ --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/www/nginx/proxy/ \ --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/www/nginx/fcgi/ Copy and past. Step 6: And run the make and make install command. Step 7: We need to create a directory called virtuosol in /etc/conf/nginx. Step 8: Need to cerate a directory called sitesdisable sitesenabled ssl.crt ssl.key . Step 9: Configuring the sites, Enter into the directory /etc/conf/nginx/virtuosol/sitesenabled and create a conf file for the site. Ex: demo.hogaming.info.conf , idoo.lifeisu.com.conf. Step 10: For example i have attached the conf file.Make sure your conf file as same as this. Step 11: Inclued that conf file in nginx.conf /etc/conf/nginx/nginx.conf .For example: include virtuosol/sitesenabled/idoo.lifeisu.com .conf; .

Step 12: /etc/init.d/nginx configtest this command is used to check the conf file. Step 13: It said OK, then start the service. /etc/init.d/nginx start. Step 14: /etc/init.d/nginx {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload| configtest} Monitoring Nginx server status with stub module :http { server { listen ip.addresss; locatation /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow ip.address; deny all; } } } testing nginx status: GET http://your-domain.com/nginx_status

perl script save it as ngnix-status.pl

Change settings in ngnix-status.pl to let script know where it will save rrd-base and images #!/usr/bin/perl use RRDs; use LWP::UserAgent; # define location of rrdtool databases my $rrd = '/opt/rrd'; # define location of images my $img = '/opt/rrd/html'; # define your nginx stats URL my $URL = "http://your-domain.com/nginx_status"; Last step is to insert following string to /etc/crontab file and to restart crondaemon: * * * * * root /some/path/rrd_nginx.pl
