How to Install Nginx web server in Solaris

To install Nginx in Solaris 11

NGINX is an open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy server. It is stable and has a rich feature set with simple configuration. Nginx doesn' t depend on threads to handle requests, as it uses a scalable event- driven architecture instead. This architecture utilizes small yet predictable amount of memory under load.

To install dependency packages

It is essential to install certain packages before the installation of Nginx. First install the GCC package by using the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# pkg install gcc-45
           Packages to install:  9
           Mediators to change:  1
            Services to change:  1
       Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No

Updating image state                            Done
Creating fast lookup database                   Done
Updating package cache                           1/1

Now add the sfe repository to your solaris machine with the help of the following command

root@linuxhelp:~# pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe

pkg set-publisher:
  Added publisher(s): sfe

Use the recently added sfe repository to install the dependency packages.

root@linuxhelp:~# pkg install sfe/developer/gcc
           Packages to install: 11
       Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No

To Install NGINX

After installing the dependency packages, use the following command to download Nginx package.

root@linuxhelp:~# wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.4.3.tar.gz

After downloading the NGINX package, extract it by triggering following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# tar xvzpf nginx-1.4.3.tar.gz

Once the extraction is done, move to the directory by utilizing the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# cd nginx-1.4.3

Run the following command to initiate NGINX installation process.

Now run the make command as follows.

Now run the make install command.

make -f objs/Makefile install
test -d ' /opt/nginx'  || mkdir -p ' /opt/nginx' 
test -d ' /opt/nginx/sbin'          || mkdir -p ' /opt/nginx/sbin'

cp conf/mime.types ' /opt/nginx/conf/mime.types.default' 
test -f ' /opt/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params'          || cp conf/fastcgi_params ' /opt/nginx/conf' 
cp conf/fastcgi_params         ' /opt/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params.default'

test -d ' /opt/nginx/logs'  ||         mkdir -p ' /opt/nginx/logs'

Once it is done, run the following command to create configuration file.

  root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# nano /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx
#!/bin/sh
unalias stop
NGINX_CMD=" /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx" 
NGINX_CONF=" /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf" 
RETVAL=0
start() {
   echo " Starting NGINX Web Server: c" 
   $NGINX_CMD -c $NGINX_CONF & 
   RETVAL=$?
   [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] & &  echo " ok"  || echo " failed" 
   return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
   echo " Stopping NGINX Web Server: c" 
   $NGINX_CMD -s quit
   RETVAL=$?
   [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] & &  echo " ok"  || echo " failed" 
   return $RETVAL
}
case " $1"  in
   start)
      start
        
   stop)
      stop
        
   restart)
      stop
      start
        
   *)
      echo " Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" 
      exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL

Now create the manifest file: /var/svc/manifest/network/nginx.xml for NGINX

root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# nano /var/svc/manifest/network/nginx.xml

< !DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM " /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1" > 
< service_bundle type=' manifest'  name=' nginx' > 
  < service name=' network/nginx'  type=' service'  version=' 1' > 
    < create_default_instance enabled=' false'  /> 
    < single_instance /> 
    < exec_method type=' method'  name=' start'  exec=' /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx start'  timeout_seconds=' 60' /> 
    < exec_method type=' method'  name=' stop'  exec=' /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx stop'  timeout_seconds=' 60'  /> 
    < exec_method type=' method'  name=' restart'  exec=' /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx restart'  timeout_seconds=' 60'  /> 
    < stability value=' Stable'  /> 
    < template> 
      < common_name> 
        < loctext xml:lang=' C' >  NGINX 1.4.3 < /loctext> 
      < /common_name> 
      < documentation> 
        < manpage title=' nginx'  section=' 8'  manpath=' /usr/share/man'  /> 
      < /documentation> 
    < /template> 
  < /service> 
< /service_bundle>

After creating Manifest file, use the following command to set permission.

root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# chown root:bin /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx
root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# chmod 555 /lib/svc/method/svc-nginx
root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# chmod 444 /var/svc/manifest/network/nginx.xml
root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# chown root:sys /var/svc/manifest/network/nginx.xml

Import the manifest file into nginx by invoking the following command

root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# svccfg -v import /var/svc/manifest/network/nginx.xml
svccfg: Restarting svc:/system/manifest-import
 The manifest being imported is from a standard location and should be imported with the  command : svcadm restart svc:/system/manifest-import
svccfg: Successful import.

Finally the Nginx service can be enabled with the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~/nginx-1.4.3# svcadm enable nginx

Is it safe to use the development branch in production?

In general, all releases (development or otherwise) are quite stable. This site runs the latest development version at all times. Many NGINX users tend to represent an “early adopter” crowd,

How can I deploy NGINX Plus for HTTP video?

Yes, NGINX Plus is a very popular solution for HTTP video distribution, and a great, high-performance, highly scalable, extremely cost-efficient alternative to Wowza or Adobe products.

How do I obtain NGINX Plus from the repository?

Please follow the instructions at "https://cs.nginx.com/repo_setup"

Does NGINX Plus support session persistence?

Yes, it does. We have support for cookie-insert, variable-based routing and learn session persistence. Please see: Application Load Balancing with NGINX Plus

How are Security Announcements shared?

Top 10 Magento Plugins of 2015

Hi,

I have used the majority of these top 10 Magento plugins when developing Magento sites for clients. Some are free and some are paid for. But in general, Magento plugins that have a price and worth it as how much time and money would it cost to develop it yourself? Here I present my top 10 Magento plugins of 2015:1. Canonical URLs for Magento &ndash Developed by a guy called Yoast this Magento plugins is a life-saver. It adds canonical links to all your Magento pages. So if your Magento website has duplicate pages with different URLs, this Magento canonical plugins will tell Google which is the actual page. For more information on canonical links, I recommend you go to the Google webmasters canonical page.
