How to install nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Raw
nginx_ubuntu.md

#Install Nginx

For Ubuntu 10.04 and newer:

sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx

If you get an error about add-apt-repository not existing, you will want to install python-software-properties.

Once the installation is complete the nginx service should automatically start and begin listening on port 80. Find your server’s IP address by running the following command:

ip addr show eth0 | grep inet

In this case we are assuming that eth0 is configured with the primary public IP of your server. Your result may look similar to:

inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/22 brd yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy scope global eth0

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your server.

Verify that nginx is running by visiting http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. For example: http://1.2.3.4.
