4. Set nginx startup file

vi /etc/init.d/nginx

nginxd=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

nginx_cOnfig=/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

nginx_pid=/var/run/nginx.pid

RETVAL=0

prog=”nginx”

# Source function library.

./etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.

./etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.

[ ${NETWORKING} = “no” ] && exit 0

[ -x $nginxd ] || exit 0

# Start nginx daemons functions.

start() {

if [ -e $nginx_pid ]; then

echo “nginx already running….”

exit 1

fi

echo -n $”Starting $prog: ”

daemon $nginxd -c ${nginx_config}

RETVAL=$?

echo

[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch
/var/lock/subsys/nginx

return $RETVAL

}

# Stop nginx daemons functions.

stop() {

echo -n $”Stopping $prog: ”

killproc $nginxd

RETVAL=$?

echo

[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f
/var/lock/subsys/nginx /var/run/nginx.pid

}

# reload nginx service functions.

reload() {

echo -n $”Reloading $prog: ”

#kill -HUP `cat ${nginx_pid}`

killproc $nginxd -HUP

RETVAL=$?

echo

}

# See how we were called.

5. Start Nginx after modifying iptables

/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -t #Test configuration file format

/etc/init.d/nginx start
