nginx install on linux

Question

I downloaded nginx from it's site for linux(I use ubuntu 10.4).I extracted nginx-1.0.6.tar.gz and there was a configure file in that directory. So I entered "./configure" command in shell. It seemed to be configured right.After I entered "make" command ,It said this error:

make -f objs/Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/nginx'
cd ./auto/lib/pcre/ \
    && if [ -f Makefile ]; then make distclean; fi \
    && CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " \
    ./configure --disable-shared
/bin/sh: ./configure: not found
make[1]: *** [auto/lib/pcre//Makefile] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/nginx'
make: *** [build] Error 2

what should I do now?

How about installing it from apt-get?

you have to install Dependencies . generally these will be enough

libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

so you can first install them

sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

and then compile .. also make sure you run the make command as root.

The best way to get build dependencies is “aptitude build-dep sqlite3”.

The ./configure program of nginx wants to find either the shared libs to build nginx dynamicaly linked or the sources of openssl prce and zlib respectivly. The obove mentioned error occurs when you invoke ../nginx/configure with the wrong options.

--with-pcre=/path/to/lib         # where libpcre.a resides
--with-openssl=/path/to/lib      # where libssl.a resides
--with-zlib=/path/to/lib         # where libz.a resides

is wrong especially when ld.so has no idea about these libs

If you build a statically linked version of nginx try instead

    --with-pcre=/path/to/src/of/pcre         
    --with-openssl=/path/to/src/of/openssl     
    --with-zlib=/path/to/src/of/zlib

e.g.
--with-pcre=../pcre-8.36 --with-openssl=../openssl-1.0.2 --with-zlib=../zlib-1.2.8

Arguably the best answer here -- others include solutions, this explains what's going on.

Download PCRE from source
Unzip it (do not install)
Copy this path to configure (from Downloads folder)

./configure --with-pcre=/home/USER/DOWNLOADS/pcre-8.37/

Enter your nginx install directory - I solved this error by editing objs/Makefile and removing -Wall and -Werror params so it looks like this (second line):

CC =    gcc
CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -W -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-variable -Wunused-value -g

Also, running your ./configure should initiate a long procedure of verifications to ensure that your system contains all the necessary components. If the configuration fails for any reason, check

less objs/autoconf.err

for more details. Any errors at configuration are usually based on missing dependencies for your configuration.

You didn't configure it right. Use these commands (in the nginx directory):

./configure --with-pcre=./auto/lib/pcre/ --with-zlib=./auto/lib/zlib/
./configure
make
sudo make install

Look for Ubuntu installation at http://wiki.nginx.org/Install.

We can now add the repository to install the latest version of nginx:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

Note: If this command still does not work (normally on 12.10), run the following command:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

This will add the repository to Ubuntu and fetches the repository's key. This is to verify that the packages have not been interfered with since they have been built. Step Three - Updating the Repositories

After adding a new repository, you will need to update the list:

sudo apt-get update

Install nginx

To install nginx or update the version you already have installed, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install nginx

Check That Nginx is Running

You can check to see that nginx is running by either going to your VPS' IP address/domain, or typing in:

service nginx status

This will tell you whether nginx is currently running.

with a vps debian wheezy I have to install a lot of tools in order to install nginx 1.2.9 :

apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev

apt-get install --reinstall zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev

apt-get install make

apt-get install sudo
