Install NGINX server on CentOS 6/7
6
Create file /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
and paste there the following content:
CentOS 6
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/6/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
CentOS 7
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/7/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Now you can install latest NGINX:
yum install nginx
If you're going to use NGINX with PHP then you should change the owner of the PHP session directory (which is usually located at /var/lib/php/session
) to nginx:nginx
chown -R nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session
Now everything's ready to work:
service nginx start
NGINX config is usually located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
