一、为什么选择Nginx
1、在高连接并发的情况下，Nginx是Apache服务器不错的替代品,能够支持高达 50,000 个并发连接数的响应, Nginx选择了 epoll and kqueue 作为开发模型。
2、 Nginx作为负载均衡服务器: Nginx 既可以在内部直接支持 Rails 和 PHP 程序对外进行服务, 也可以支持作为 HTTP代理服务器对外进行服务. Nginx采用C进行编写, 不论是系统资源开销还是CPU使用效率都比 Perlbal 要好很多。
3、作为邮件代理服务器: Nginx 同时也是一个非常优秀的邮件代理服务器。
为什么 Nginx的性能要比Apache高得多？这得益于Nginx使用了最新的epoll（Linux 2.6内核）和kqueue（freebsd）网络I/O模型，而Apache则使用的是传统的select模型。目前Linux下能够承受高并发访问的 Squid、Memcached都采用的是epoll网络I/O模型。
二、Nginx的安装以及配置
系统要求：Linux 2.6+ 内核，本文中的Linux操作系统为CentOS 5.2+
1、获取相关的开源程序：（适用CentOS操作系统）利用CentOS Linux系统自带的yum命令安装、升级所需的程序库。
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf libjpeg libjpeg-devel libpng libpng-devel freetype freetype-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel zlib zlib-devel glibc glibc-devel glib2 glib2-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel ncurses ncurses-devel curl curl-devel e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-devel krb5 krb5-devel libidn libidn-devel openssl openssl-devel openldap openldap-devel nss_ldap openldap-clients openldap-servers
2、安装PHP 5.2.10（FastCGI模式）
编译安装PHP 5.2.10所需的支持库：
tar zxvf libiconv-1.13.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.13/
./configure prefix=/usr/local

cd ../
3、编译安装MySQL 5.1.38
/usr/sbin/groupadd mysql // 建立mysql组
/usr/sbin/useradd -g mysql mysql // 建立mysql用户并且加入到mysql组中
tar zxvf mysql-5.1.38.tar.gz
cd mysql-5.1.38/
./configure prefix=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/ enable-thread-safe-client
make && make install
cp /usr/local/src/mysql/support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf 在 support-files目录下有4个模版文件，我们选择其中一个座位Mysql的配置文件，覆盖/etc/my.cnf(系统默认的配置，其中设置了性能参数和Mysql的一些路径参数)；
cd /usr/local/mysql //进入mysql目录
/usr/local/webserver/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db basedir=/usr/local/webserver/mysql datadir=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/data user=mysql //初试化表并且规定用mysql用户来访问。初始化表以后就开始给mysql和root用户设定访问权限;
chown -R root . //设定root能访问/usr/local/mysql；
chown -R mysql data //设定mysql用户能访问/usr/local/mysql/data ,里面存的是mysql的数据库文件.这个目录是在/etc/my.cnf中有配置，mysql_install_db时产生;
chown -R mysql data/. //设定mysql用户能访问/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql下的所有文件；
chgrp -R mysql . //（此处 .前面有空格哦）设定mysql组能够访问/usr/local/mysql；
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe user=mysql & //运行mysql；
/usr/local/src/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpassword' //MYSQL默认安装密码为空，为mysql设置密码,利用的是/usr/local/src/mysql/bin/下的mysqladmin文件；
启动MySQL服务：
cp /usr/local/src/mysql/support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql
vi /etc/init.d/mysql
修改如下定义使其内容为：
basedir=/usr/local/webserver/mysql
datadir=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/data
chmod +x mysql //赋予shell脚本可执行权限：
chkconfig level 345 mysql on
service mysql restart
Shutting down MySQL… [ OK ]
Starting MySQL [ OK ]
连接：
/usr/local/src/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5 to server version: 4.1.14-standard
Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer.

4、编译安装PHP（FastCGI模式）
tar zxvf php-5.2.10.tar.gz
gzip -cd php-5.2.10-fpm-0.5.11.diff.gz | patch -d php-5.2.10 -p1
cd php-5.2.10/
./configure prefix=/usr/local/webserver/php with-config-file-path=/usr/local/webserver/php/etc with-mysql=/usr/local/webserver/mysql with-mysqli=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/bin/mysql_c onfig with-iconv-dir=/usr/local with-freetype-dir with-jpeg-dir with-png-dir with-zlib with-libxml-dir=/usr enable-xml disable-rpath enable-discard-path enable-safe-mode enable-bcmath enable-shmop enable-sysvsem enable-inline-optimization

make ZEND_EXTRA_LIBS='-liconv'
make install
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php.ini
cd ../
5、编译安装 PHP5 扩展模块
tar zxvf memcache-2.2.5.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.5/
/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/phpize
./configure with-php-config=/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/php-c onfig
make
make install
cd ../
tar jxvf eaccelerator-0.9.5.3.tar.bz2
cd eaccelerator-0.9.5.3/
/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/phpize
./configure enable-eaccelerator=shared with-php-config=/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/php-c onfig
make
make install
cd ../
tar zxvf PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2.tgz
cd PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2/
/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/phpize
./configure with-php-config=/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/php-c onfig with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/webserver/mysql
make
make install
cd ../
tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.5.1-2/
./configure
make
make install
cd ../
tar zxvf imagick-2.2.2.tgz
cd imagick-2.2.2/
/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/phpize
./configure with-php-config=/usr/local/webserver/php/bin/php-c onfig
make
make install
cd ../
6、修改php.ini文件
查找/usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php.ini中的extension_dir = "./"
修改为extension_dir = "/usr/local/webserver/php/lib/php/extensions/no-de bug-non-zts-20060613/"
并在此行后增加以下几行，然后保存：
extension = "memcache.so"
extension = "pdo_mysql.so"
extension = "imagick.so"
再查找output_buffering = Off
修改为output_buffering = On
也可执行以下shell命令，自动完成对php.ini文件的修改：
sed -i 's#extension_dir = "./"#extension_dir = "/usr/local/webserver/php/lib/php/extensions/no-de bug-non-zts-20060613/"nextension = "memcache.so"nextension
= "pdo_mysql.so"nextension = "imagick.so"n#' /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php.ini
sed -i 's#output_buffering = Off#output_buffering = On#' /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php.ini
7、配置eAccelerator加速PHP：
mkdir -p /usr/local/webserver/eaccelerator_cache //创建存储缓存文件的目录
vi /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php.ini
按shift+g键跳到配置文件的最末尾，加上以下配置信息：
[eaccelerator]
zend_extension="/usr/local/webserver/php/lib/php/e xtensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/eaccelerator.so "
eaccelerator.shm_size="64″
eaccelerator.cache_dir="/usr/local/webserver/eacce lerator_cache"
eaccelerator.enable="1″
eaccelerator.optimizer="1″
eaccelerator.check_mtime="1″
eaccelerator.debug="0″
eaccelerator.filter=""
eaccelerator.shm_max="0″
eaccelerator.shm_ttl="3600″
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="3600″
eaccelerator.shm_only="0″
eaccelerator.compress="1″
eaccelerator.compress_level="9″
8、创建www用户和组，以及供blog主机使用的目录：
/usr/sbin/groupadd www
/usr/sbin/useradd -g www www
mkdir -p /var/www/blog
chmod +w /var/www/blog
chown -R www:www /var/www/blog
9、创建php-fpm配置文件（php-fpm是为PHP打的一个FastCGI管理补丁，可以平滑变更php.ini配置而无需重启php-cgi）：
在/usr/local/webserver/php/etc/目录中创建php-fpm.conf文件：
rm -f /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php-fpm.conf
vi /usr/local/webserver/php/etc/php-fpm.conf
输入以下内容（如果您安装 Nginx + PHP 用于程序调试，请将以下的<value name="display_errors">0</value>改为<value name="display_errors">1</value>，以便显示PHP错误信息，否则，Nginx 会报状态为500的空白错误页）
<?xml version="1.0″ ?>

10、启动php-cgi进程，监听127.0.0.1的9000端口，进程数为200（如果服务器内存小于3GB，可以只开启64个进程），用户为www：
ulimit -SHn 65535
/usr/local/webserver/php/sbin/php-fpm start
另：ulimit命令是用于shell启动进程所占用的资源。其所有的设置都是针对shell进程的，每个进程是独立的。
ulimit -n 1024 表示每个启动的进程可以同时打开的文件描述符的最大值是1024。
-H 设置硬件资源限制。
-S 设置软件资源限制。
注：/usr/local/webserver/php/sbin/php-fpm还有其他参数，包括：start|stop|quit|restart|reload|logrotate，修改php.ini后不重启php-cgi，重新加载配置文件使用reload
。
三、安装Nginx 0.8.15
1、安装Nginx所需的pcre库：
tar zxvf pcre-7.9.tar.gz
cd pcre-7.9/
./configure
make && make install
cd ../
2、安装Nginx
tar zxvf nginx-0.8.15.tar.gz
cd nginx-0.8.15/
./configure user=www group=www prefix=/usr/local/webserver/nginx with-http_stub_status_module with-http_ssl_module
make && make install
cd ../
3、创建Nginx日志目录
mkdir -p /data1/logs
chmod +w /data1/logs
chown -R www:www /data1/logs
4、创建Nginx配置文件
(1) 在/usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/目录中创建nginx.conf文件：
rm -f /usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
vi /usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
输入以下内容：
#使用小号
user www www;
#开启进程数
worker_processes 8; #worker_processes 指明了nginx要开启的进程数,据实践表明，nginx的这个参数在一般情况下开4个或8个就可以了，再往上开的话优化不太大。
#制定进程到cpu（四cpu：0001 0010 0100 1000）
#worker_cpu_affinity 0001 0010 0100 1000 0001 0010 0100 1000;
error_log /data1/logs/nginx_error.log crit;
#进程号保存文件
pid /usr/local/webserver/nginx/nginx.pid;
#Specifies the value for maximum file descriptors that can be opened by this process. #每个进程最大打开文件数
worker_rlimit_nofile 65535; #worker_rlimit_nofile 配置要和系统的单进程打开文件数一致,linux 2.6内核下开启文件打开数为65535，worker_rlimit_nofile就相应应该填写65535
events
{
#使用epoll（linux2.6的高性能方式）
use epoll;
#每个进程最大连接数（最大连接=连接数x进程数）
worker_connections 65535;
}
http
{
#文件扩展名与文件类型映射表
include mime.types;
#默认文件类型
default_type application/octet-stream;
#charset gb2312;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;

#limit_conn crawler 20;
location ~ .*.(php|php5)?$
{
#fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fcgi.conf;
}

}
}
(2) 在/usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/目录中创建fcgi.conf文件：
vi /usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/fcgi.conf
输入以下内容：
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;

fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
5、启动Nginx
ulimit -SHn 65535
/usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/nginx
四、配置开机自动启动Nginx + PHP
vi /etc/rc.local
在末尾增加以下内容：
ulimit -SHn 65535
/usr/local/webserver/php/sbin/php-fpm start
/usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/nginx
六、在不停止Nginx服务的情况下平滑变更Nginx配置
1、修改/usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/nginx.conf配置文件后，请执行以下命令检查配置文件是否正确：
/usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/nginx -t
如果屏幕显示以下两行信息，说明配置文件正确：
the configuration file /usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
the configuration file /usr/local/webserver/nginx/conf/nginx.conf was tested successfully
2、这时，输入以下命令查看Nginx主进程号：
ps -ef | grep "nginx: master process" | grep -v "grep" | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}'
屏幕显示的即为Nginx主进程号，例如：
4913
这时，执行以下命令即可使修改过的Nginx配置文件生效：
kill -HUP 4913
或者无需这么麻烦，找到Nginx的Pid文件：
kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/webserver/nginx/nginx.pid`
七、编写每天定时切割Nginx日志的脚本
1、创建脚本/usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/cut_nginx_log.sh
vi /usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/cut_nginx_log.sh
输入以下内容：
#!/bin/bash
# This script run at 00:00
# The Nginx logs path
logs_path="/usr/local/webserver/nginx/logs/"
mkdir -p ${logs_path}$(date -d "yesterday" +"%Y")/$(date -d "yesterday" +"%m")/
mv ${logs_path}access.log ${logs_path}$(date -d "yesterday" +"%Y")/$(date -d "yesterday" +"%m")/access_$(date -d "yesterday" +"%Y%m%d").log
kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/webserver/nginx/nginx.pid`
2、设置crontab，每天凌晨00:00切割nginx访问日志
crontab -e
输入以下内容：
00 00 * * * /bin/bash /usr/local/webserver/nginx/sbin/cut_nginx_log.sh
