Installing Nginx in Mac OS X Mountain Lion With Homebrew
OCT 10TH, 2012
Install with brew
Use brew
to install the nginx
with command:
$ brew install nginx
After install run:
$ sudo nginx
Testing
Test it by going to URL:
http://localhost:8080
Configuration
The default place of nginx.conf
on Mac after installing with brew
is:
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Changing the default port
The nginx default port is 8080, we shall change it to 80. First stop the nginx server if it is running by:
$ sudo nginx -s stop
Then open nginx.conf
with:
$ vim /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
and change the:
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
to:
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
Save configuration and start nginx by
$ sudo nginx
Changing the path of defualt web location
The nginx html folder (brew install only) is by the defult in:
/usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.2.3/html
Note: change 1.2.3
to your nginx version.
The defualt path configuration:
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
To let say Users/xajler/www
:
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#access_log logs/host.access.log main;
location / {
root /Users/xajler/www;
index index.html index.htm;
}
After change stop and start nginix server and nginx is now serving pages from your custom folder!
