Created , updated

Notes made while updating my local Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 install to nginx 0.6.35:

wget http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-0.6.35.tar.gz
tar xzvf nginx-0.6.35.tar.gz
cd nginx-0.6.35
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-http_ssl_module
make
sudo make install
/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -v

And corresponding notes made while updating remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine (see "Updating to nginx 0.6.34 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1" for a more detailed example):

# build as normal user

tar xzvf nginx-0.6.35.tar.gz
cd nginx-0.6.35
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --with-http_ssl_module
make

# install with root privileges

# check what's running

# move old config out of the way
mv /usr/local/nginx /usr/local/nginx-0.6.34

# actually install

# copy over conf files
cd /usr/local

mv nginx/conf/nginx.conf nginx/conf/nginx.conf.vendor
cp nginx-0.6.34/conf/nginx.conf nginx/conf/
cd nginx

# check config file syntax
sbin/nginx -t -c conf/nginx.conf

# oops! forgot to copy over keys and certs
mv ../nginx-0.6.34/conf/certs conf/
mv ../nginx-0.6.34/conf/keys conf/

# check config file syntax again
sbin/nginx -t -c conf/nginx.conf
sbin/nginx -t -c conf/nginx-staging.conf
