Compile instructions for nginx web server

[Aaron Mason]

1) Configure the server.

./configure --prefix=/usr --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \

--error-log-path=/var/log/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/access.log \ --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/lock \ --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/tmp/fcgi --http-client-body-temp-path=/tmp/cb \ --http-proxy-temp-path=/tmp/proxy

2) There are a lot of hard-coded paths in the Makefile. These sets them to paths

outside of the /usr tree.

sed -i -e 's@/usr/logs@/var/log@g' -e 's@/usr/html@/var/www/nginx-default@g' \

-e "s@'/usr'@'/var/www/nginx-default'@g" objs/Makefile

sed -i -e 's@conf/mime.types@/etc/nginx/mime.types@g' -e 's@logs/@/var/log/@g' \

-e 's@root html;@root /var/www/nginx-default;@g' conf/nginx.conf

3) Compile and install

make make install

4) Copy the base HTML files to the document root:

cp html/* /var/www/nginx-default

5) Install nginx's init scripts.

I have enclosed a patch to add an init script for BLFS-bootscripts.

Adds bootscripts for nginx

Forgot to mention something - this relies on PCRE as a prerequisite.

[Armin K]

One http daemon is enough for BLFS.
