1.首先需要安装必须的库，PCRE，zlib
sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
如果找不到文件的话就下载源文件进行安装。
2.解压下载的nginx源码，进入目录： sudo ./configure 得到的输出如下：
Configuration summary
+ using system PCRE library
+ OpenSSL library is not used
+ using builtin md5 code
+ sha1 library is not found
+ using system zlib library
nginx path prefix: "/usr/local/nginx"
nginx binary file: "/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx"
nginx configuration prefix: "/usr/local/nginx/conf"
nginx configuration file: "/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf"
nginx pid file: "/usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid"
nginx error log file: "/usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log"
nginx http access log file: "/usr/local/nginx/logs/access.log"
nginx http client request body temporary files: "client_body_temp"
nginx http proxy temporary files: "proxy_temp"
nginx http fastcgi temporary files: "fastcgi_temp"
nginx http uwsgi temporary files: "uwsgi_temp"
nginx http scgi temporary files: "scgi_temp"
3. sudo make
4. sudo make install
5. 查看配置文件，然后启动
[email protected]:~/nginx-1.0.15$ sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful
[email protected]:~/nginx-1.0.15$ sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
此时查看进程有：
[email protected]:~/nginx-1.0.15$ ps -axu | grep nginx
root 9723 0.0 0.0 22536 592 ? Ss 22:49 0:00 nginx: master process /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
nobody 9724 0.0 0.0 22936 1052 ? S 22:49 0:00 nginx: worker process
6. 然后可以通过curl简单测试index页面：
[email protected]:~$ curl http://localhost:80/
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" text="black">
<center><h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1></center>
</body>
</html>
根据nginx.conf的配置，响应文件是html/index.html页面：
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}
