FreeBSD Install Nginx Webserver Tutorial

To install the Nginx web server on a FreeBSD system, you will need to do the following:

1. Update the system's package database by running the following command:

# pkg update

2. Install the Nginx package using the pkg package manager:

# pkg install nginx

This will install the Nginx web server on your FreeBSD system.

To start the Nginx web server, you can run the following command:

# service nginx start

To stop the Nginx web server, you can run the following command:

# service nginx stop

To restart the Nginx web server, you can run the following command:

# service nginx restart

To enable the Nginx web server to start automatically at boot time, you can add the following line to the /etc/rc.conf file:

nginx_enable="YES"

To configure the Nginx web server, you will need to edit the configuration files in the /usr/local/etc/nginx directory.

For example, to set the document root for the Nginx web server, you can edit the /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf file and set the root directive in the server block:

server {
    root /usr/local/www/nginx;
    ...
}

This will set the document root for the Nginx web server to the /usr/local/www/nginx directory.

For more information about using and configuring the Nginx web server on a FreeBSD system, you can refer to the Nginx documentation and the nginx man page by running man nginx on the command line.
