Never the Lost

Recently a co-worker mentioned that they tried out nginx and noticed that it was quite snappy. I didn’t know exactly how it worked but thought I would give it a try. As a result I had this site down for a number of days while I corrected the issues. In the end I did the following:

Download the following and save them to/usr/src

http://wget.neverthelost.net/nginx/mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz
http://wget.neverthelost.net/nginx/nginx-0.7.52.tar.gz
http://wget.neverthelost.net/nginx/pcre-7.9.tar.gz

Once Downloaded we need to go ahead and install some of the pre-required items before getting into the dirty configuration parts.

cd /usr/src

tar xvzf mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz
cd mod_rpaf-0.6
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -c -n mod_rpaf-2.0.so mod_rpaf-2.0.c

Hit Enter one more time

cd /usr/src

tar xvzf pcre-7.9.tar.gz

cd pcre-7.9

./configure

make

make install

Hit Enter one more time

cd /usr/src

tar xvzf nginx-0.7.52.tar.gz
cd nginx-0.7.52
./configure –with-http_ssl_module –with-http_realip_module –with-http_dav_module –with-http_flv_module –with-http_gzip_static_module
make
make install

Hit Enter one more time

Now we have all of our required items installed we can start our configuration.
