Since there is so much buzz around nginx, I wanted to give
it a try on my small home server. The server is running a desktop edition of
Ubuntu 10.04 (I keep it as backup machine in case my laptop breaks), so keep
this in mind. The following bash script will download nginx version 1.1.12, its
dependencies and install it. Also, a user nginx will be created.
In case you encounter any problems, please refer to the short, but sufficient,
official documentation. If it worked
out for you, you can now use the following commands to start and stop the server
as well as to reload the config.
