前言

在互联网编程中，http服务器编程作为一个非常重要方向一直为各种语言所重视，从c语言的apache，Lighttpd到当前非常流行的nginx。 Java有tom-cat，jetty，websphere等众多服务器，pyhoen的zope等服务器。既有重量级的服务器，又有轻量级的，嵌入式的服务器。从互联网的应用来说，c语言的http服务器一直占有主导地位，当前最流行的三个开源服务器有apache，Lighttpd和nginx。 Apache作为经典的Web服务器，除了慢没有别的缺点了，Apache2对fcgi支持并不好，非常好用的proxy和proxy_ajp（很多人用它作为tomcat的前端），不支持epoll（这年头，epoll几乎是性能的必备）。Lighttpd作为杀手级的静态文件能力，杀手级的fcgi能力但是proxy模块不够稳定。Nginx速度快，占用资源少，杀手级的proxy和rewrite，非常不错的静态文件能力，最适合作为整个网站的前端服务（将php、svn等不同请求发送往后端apache）。现在国内Nginx的用户越来越多了，多数拥抱Nginx的网站都钟意其优异的性能表现，如果是相对比较大的网站，节约下来的服务器成本无疑是客观的。当前 Ngnix美中不足之处是相关的文档和用户经验都还是很欠缺，用户之间还很难做到可借鉴性的交流。最近因为朋友遇到一些技术问题，我也翻阅了不少 Nginx的邮件列表内容，发现大量的技术细节仍然在频繁变化中，可是中文社区内相关的记录和讨论太少了。相信国内这些Nginx用户积攒的经验肯定是不少的，但可能是因为某些其它因素考虑而看不到相关的技术分享。本书的写作就是为了向大家展示nginx的内部结构，以便于大家更好的使用该服务器。对于一个八万行代码的http服务器，从性能来看它是那么的出色，从功能来看它并不逊色于几十万行的apache服务器。Nginx是实现有几个非常出色的地方：模块化设计，流水线请求处理，多进程控制，epoll的使用，平滑的升级程序或是配置文件。Nginx采用的是单线程的方式，网络服务器的几种模型可以参考C10K的介绍。当然，如果在linux下，最好的模型自然是EPool（effectiveepoll?）。目前一台服务器支持10K个客户访问，基本上还比较麻烦，64位的CPU，可能是一个比较好的解决方案。2块1000M网卡，10K客户端，每个客户端的带宽是 2000/10000=200K，这是理论值，勉强可行。考虑一下纯粹的线程模型。10K个客户端，需要10K个线程。考虑到每个进程3G的用户空间，那么每个线程的空间是3000M/10K=300K，只能说非常勉强可以运行（每个线程的cruntime大约需要2-3K空间）。但是大量的线程调度会极大的减缓系统效率。再考虑一下多个进程的模型，每个进程创建多个线程。其实与纯粹的线程模型差异不大，不过是每个线程的用户空间不受太大限制。大量的线程调度带来的巨大性能损耗会使得整个系统效率及其低下。当然，这种模型也不是一无是处，对于客户端数目不多的情况，比如ftp服务器，这种模型是非常合适的。然后就剩下epoll模

Chapter1.前言

型。要使用epoll模型，首先必须有Linux2.6的内核。了解select模型的人都知道，select每个句柄只能支持64个socket，这可以通过阅读linuxselect.h知道。而Poll模型则是一种事件触发的模型，没有64个socket的限制。epoll是对Poll模型的一个改造，让一个Poll句柄可以同时支持多个Socket句柄，好处是将大量Poll句柄的事件探测机制放到内核中处理，大大减少了将数据从内核态拷贝到用户态的次数，从而提高效率。阅读Linux的源码可以看到，epoll的内部使用的是一个Hashmap，Hashmap中存放Poll对象，所以从根本上来说，epoll模型是一种更好的Poll模型(我一直理解为EffectivePoll)。

当然nginx也有不足的地方，例如各个模块之间的耦合性太强，各个模块不适合直接拿出来使用。Nginx的作者过于强调按照他自己所理解的模块化，而把一些基础模块也用作者所谓的模块化来实现，导致代码相互引用太多，艰涩难懂。

本书的编写的面向的用户除了初级linux工程师外，还可以为中高级linux工程师作为开发高性能服务器的工具书，目的除了向用户展示nginx精巧的设计和完整的实现外，还希望通过本书的讲解能够让用户以nginx作为基本框架或是自己实现更多的高性能服务器。

基本配置

2.1安装

安装依赖模块

gzip模块需要zlib库，该模块在http://www.zlib.net/网站下载。

rewrite模块需要pcre库，该模块在http://www.pcre.org/网站下载。

ssl功能需要openssl库该模块在http://www.openssl.org/网站下载。

官方源代码下载

在http://sysoev.ru/nginx/download.html网站上可以下载nginx源代码。

使用源代码安装

Nginx使用 Unix下常用的 ‘./configure && make && make install’过程来编译安装。configure脚本确定系统所具有一些特性，特别是nginx用来处理连接的方法。然后，它创建Makefile文件。configure支持下面的选项：

–prefix=

-Nginx安装路径。如果没有指定，默认为/usr/local/nginx。

–sbin-path=

-Nginx可执行文件安装路径。只能安装时指定，如果没有指定，默认为

/sbin/nginx。

–conf-path=

-在没有给定-c选项下默认的nginx.conf的路径。如果没有指定，默认为

/conf/nginx.conf。

–pid-path=

-在nginx.conf中没有指定pid指令的情况下，默认的nginx.pid的路径。如果没有指定，默认为

/logs/nginx.pid。

–lock-path=

-nginx.lock文件的路径。

–error-log-path=

-在nginx.conf中没有指定error_log指令的情

With the use of the system library PCRE in FreeBSD, it is necessary to indicate –with-cc-opt=”-I /usr/local/include”. If we are using select() and it is necessary to increase the number of file descriptors, then

this also can be assigned here: –with-cc-opt=”-D FD_SETSIZE=2048″. –with-ld-opt=OPTIONS -Additional parameters passed to the linker.

With the use of the system library PCRE in FreeBSD, it is necessary to indicate –with-ld-opt=”-L /usr/local/lib”.

PATH在不同版本间，选项可能会有些许变化，请总是使用 ./configure–help命令来检查一下当前的选项列表。示例(最好能在同一行)：

1 ./ configure \\

2 ..sbin.path =/ usr / local / nginx / nginx \\

3 ..conf.path =/ usr / local / nginx / nginx . conf \\

4 ..pid.path =/ usr / local / nginx / nginx . pid \\

5 ..with.http_ssl_module \\

6 ..with.pcre =../ pcre .4.4 \\

7 ..with.zlib =../ zlib .1.1.3

Example on Ubuntu/debian with libgcrypt11-dev, libpcre3-dev and libssl-dev installed (choose EITHER –with-md5 OR –with-sha1, but not both; on debian and ubuntu, they should both point to /usr/lib)

1 ./ configure \\

2 ..with.openssl =/ usr / lib / ssl / \\

3 ..with.md5 =/ usr / lib

An Ubuntu Edgy .deb for version 0.5.2 can be found here: nginx_0.5.2-1_i386.deb. (NOTE: According to an October 2006 message md5 was used in a now broken http cache module and sha1 is used in an incomplete mysql library module and so are currently not needed.)

2.2配置说明

主模块

daemon

Chapter2.基本配置 2.2.配置说明

语法: daemon on | off

缺省值: on生产环境中不要使用”daemon”和”master_process”指令，这

些选项仅用于开发调试。

debug_points

语法: debug_points [stop | abort]

缺省值: nonedebug_points stop;应该适用于调试，在调试器内设置断

点之类的。

error_log

]

缺省值: ${prefix}/logs/error.log Nginx添加 –with-debug编译参数,你还能够使用以下配置: error_log LOGFILE [ debug_core | debug_alloc

| debug_mutex | debug_event | debug_http | debug_imap];

include

语法:include file | *

缺省值: none你可以在任意地方使用include指令实现配置文件的包含，类似于apache中的include方法，可减少主配置文件d。 include指令还支持像下面配置一样的全局包含的方法，例如包含一个目录下所有以”.conf”结尾的文件:include vhosts/*.conf;注意路径受到configure编译参数–prefix=<路径>指令的影响，如果没有指定，Nginx默认是被编译在/usr/local/nginx。

lock_file

语法: lock_file file

缺省值: compile-time option lock_file /var/log/lock_file; nginx uses accept mutex to serialize accept() syscalls. If nginx is built by gcc, Intel C++, or SunPro C++ compilers on i386, amd64, sparc64, and ppc64, then nginx uses the atomic instructions to implement the mutex. In other cases the lock file would be used.

master_process

语法: master_process on | off

缺省值:on master_process off;生产环境中不要使用”daemon”和”master_process”指

令，这些选项仅用于开发调试。

pid

语法: pid file

缺省值:compile-time option Example:pid /var/log/nginx.pid;进程

id存储文件。可以使用 kill -HUP cat/var/log/nginx.pid\\对Nginx进行配置文件重新加载。

SSL_ENGINE

语法: ssl_engine engine

缺省值: system dependent该指令用于指定openssl使用的引擎。你可以通过下面的命令行获知系统目前支持的openssl引擎 openssl engine -t例如: $ openssl engine -t (cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine [ available

2.2.配置说明 Chapter2.基本配置

] (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support [ unavailable ]

timer_resolution

语法: timer_resolution t

缺省值: none Example: timer_resolution 100ms; The directive al-lows to decrease number gettimeofday() syscalls.By缺省值 gettime-ofday() is called after each return from kevent(), epoll, /dev/poll, select(), poll(). But if you need an exact time in logs when log-ging $upstream_response_time, or $msec variables, then you should use timer_resolution.

USER

语法: user user [group]

缺省值:nobody nobody指定Nginx Worker进程运行用户，默认是nobody帐号。例如: user www users;

worker_cpu_affinity

语法: worker_cpu_affinity cpumask [cpumask...]

缺省值: none Linux only. With this option you can bind the worker process to a CPU, it calls sched_setaffinity().仅适用于linux，使用该选项可以绑定worker进程和CPU. For example, worker_proceses 4; worker_cpu_affinity 555-5555 555-5555; Bind each worker process to one CPU only.分别给每个worker进程绑定一个CPU. worker_proceses 2; worker_cpu_affinity 555-5555; Bind the first worker to CPU0/CPU2, bind the second worker to CPU1/CPU3.This is suitable for HTT.将CPU0/CPU2绑定给第一个worker进程，将CPU1/CPU3绑定给第二个worker进程。

worker_priority

语法: worker_priority [-]number

缺省值: on With this option you can give to all worker processes the priority (nice) you need/wish, it calls setpriority().使用该选项可以给所有的worker进程分配优先值。

worker_processes

语法: worker_processes number

缺省值: 1 e.g.: worker_processes 5; nginx has the ability to use more than one worker process for several reasons:nginx可以使用多个worker进程，原因如下： to use SMP to decrease latency when workers blockend on disk I/O to limit number of connections per process when select()/poll() is used The worker_processes and worker_connections from the event sections allows you to calculate maxclients value: k max_clients = worker_processes * worker_connections

worker_rlimit_core

语法: worker_rlimit_core size

缺省值: ‘ Maximum size of core file per worker;

worker_rlimit_nofile

语法: worker_rlimit_nofile limit

Chapter2.基本配置 2.2.配置说明

缺省值: ‘ Specifies the value for maximum file descriptors that can be opened by this process.指定

worker_rlimit_sigpending

语法: worker_rlimit_sigpending limit

缺省值: ‘ (Since Linux 2.6.8) Specifies the limit on the number of signals that may be queued for the real user ID of the calling process.

working_directory

语法: working_directory path

缺省值: –prefix This is the working directory for the workers. It’s used for core files only. nginx uses absolute paths only, all relative paths in configuration files are relative to –prefix==PATH.

event配置

http参数

alias

语法: alias file-path|directory-path;

缺省值: no context: location This directive assigns a path to be used for the indicated location. Note that it may look similar to the root directive, but the document root doesn’t change, just the file system path used for the request. For example:

1 location /i/ {

2 alias / spool / w3 / p_w_picpaths /;

3 }

The request “/i/top.gif” will return the file “/spool/w3/p_w_picpaths/ top.gif”. It is possible to use variables in the replacement path. The alias directive cannot be used inside a regex-specified location. If you need to do this you must use a combination of rewrite and root.

client_body_in_file_only

语法: client_body_in_file_only on|off

缺省值: client_body_in_file_only off context: http, server, lo-cation The directive enables to store a client request body in a file. Please note that the file at the request completion will not be removed if the directive is enabled. The directive can be used for debugging and for the $r->request_body_file method in the ngx_http_perl_module module.

client_body_buffer_size

语法: client_body_buffer_size the_size

缺省值: client_body_buffer_size 8k/16k context: http, server, location The directive specifies the client request body buffer size. If the request body is more than the buffer, then the entire request

2.2.配置说明 Chapter2.基本配置

body or some part is written in a temporary file.The缺省值 size is equal to two pages size, depending on platform it is either 8K or 16K.

client_body_temp_path

语法: client_body_temp_path dir-path [ level1 [ level2 [ level3 ] ]]

缺省值: client_body_temp_path client_body_temp context: http, server, location The directive assigns the directory for storing the temporary files in it with the body of the request. In the dir-path a hierarchy of subdirectories up to three levels are possible. For example

1 client_body_temp_path /spool/nginx/client_temp 1 2;

The directory structure will be like this: /spool/nginx/client_temp/ 7/45/555-55557

client_body_timeout

语法: client_body_timeout time

缺省值: client_body_timeout 60 context: http, server, location Directive sets the read timeout for the request body from client. The timeout is set only if a body is not get in one readstep. If after this time the client send nothing, nginx returns error “Request time out” (408).

client_header_buffer_size

语法: client_header_buffer_size size

缺省值: client_header_buffer_size 1k context: http, server Direc-tive sets the headerbuffer size for the request header from client. For the overwhelming majority of requests it is completely sufficient a buffer size of 1K. However if a big cookie is in the request-header or the request has come from a wap-client the header can not be placed in 1K, therefore, the request-header or a line of request-header is not located completely in this buffer nginx allocate a bigger buffer, the size of the bigger buffer can be set with the instruction large_client_header_buffers.

client_header_timeout

语法: client_header_timeout time

缺省值: client_header_timeout 60 context: http, server Directive assigns timeout with reading of the title of the request of client. The timeout is set only if a header is not get in one readstep. If after this time the client send nothing, nginx returns error “Request time out” (408).

client_max_body_size

语法: client_max_body_size size

缺省值: client_max_body_size 1m context: http, server, location Directive assigns the maximum accepted body size of client request,

Chapter2.基本配置 2.2.配置说明

indicated by the line “Content-Length” in the header of request. If size is greater the given one, then the client gets the error “Request Entity Too Large” (413). It is necessary to keep in mind that the browsers do not know how to correctly show this error.

缺省值_type

语法:缺省值_type MIME-type

缺省值:缺省值_type text/plain context: http, server, location default_type assigns the default MIME-type to be used for files where the standard MIME map doesn’t specify anything. See also types Example:

1 location = / proxy . pac {

2 default_type application /x.ns.proxy.autoconfig ;

3 }

4 location = / wpad . dat {

5 rewrite . / proxy . pac ;

6 default_type application /x.ns.proxy.autoconfig ;

7 }

error_page

语法: error_page code [ code... ] [ = |=answer-code ] uri

缺省值: no context: http, server, location, if in location The directive specifies the URI, which will be showed for the errors indicated. Example of the use:

1 error_page 404 /404.html;

2 error_page 502 503 504 /50x.html;

3 error_page 403 http://example.com/forbidden.html;

Furthermore, it is possible to change the code of answer to another, for example: error_page 404 =200 /.empty.gif; If an erroneous answer is processed by the proxied or FastCGI server and this server can return the different answer codes, for example, 200, 302, 401 or 404, then it is possible to issue the code returned: error_page 404 = / 404.php;

index

语法: index file [file...]

缺省值: index index.html context: http, server, location Directive determines the file(s) which will be used as the index. It’s possible to use variables in the name of file. The presence of the files is checked in the order of their enumeration. A file with an absolute path can be put at the end. Example using a variable: index index. $geo.html index.0.html /index.html;

internal

语法: internal

缺省值: no context: location internal indicates that the match-ing location can be used only for so called “internal” requests. For

2.2.配置说明 Chapter2.基本配置

external requests it will return the error “Not found” (404). Inter-nal requests are the following: requests redirected by the instruc-tion error_page subrequests created by the command include virtual of the “ngx_http_ssi_module” module requests changed by the instruction rewrite of the “ngx_http_rewrite_module” module An example to prevent clients fetching error pages directly:

1 error_page 404 /404.html; 2 location /404.html {

internal; 4}

keepalive_timeout

语法: keepalive_timeout time [ time ]

缺省值: keepalive_timeout 75 context: http, server, location Directive assigns the timeout, for keep-alive connections with the client. The second parameter assigns value in the line “Keep-Alive: timeout=time” in the header of answer. The parameters can differ from each other. Line “Keep-Alive: timeout=time” understands Mozilla and Konqueror. MSIE itself shuts keep-alive connection approximately after 60 seconds.

large_client_header_buffers

语法: large_client_header_buffers number size

缺省值: large_client_header_buffers 4 4k/8k context: http, server Directive assigns the maximum number and size of buffers for large headers to read from client request. The request line can not be bigger then the size of one buffer, if the client send a bigger header nginx returns error “Request URI too large” (414). The longest header line of request also must be not more than the size of one buffer, otherwise the client get the error “Bad request” (400). Buffers are separated only as needed. By default the size of one buffer is equal to the size of page, depending on platform this either 4K or 8K, if at the end of working request connection converts to state keep-alive, then these buffers are freed.

limit_except

语法: limit_except methods {…}

缺省值: no context: location Directive limits HTTP-methods, acces-sible inside location. For the limitation can be used the directives of modules ngx_http_access_module and ngx_http_auth_basic_module: limit_except GET { allow 192.168.1.0/32; deny all; }

limit_rate

语法: limit_rate speed

缺省值: no context: http, server, location, if in location Direc-tive assigns the speed of transmission of the answer to client. Speed is assigned in the bytes per second. Limitation works only for one connection, i.e., if client opens 2 connections, then total velocity

Chapter2.基本配置 2.2.配置说明

will be 2 times than higher limited. If it is necessary to limit speed for the part of the clients at the level of server, then directive limit_rate for this does not be suitable. Instead of this should be assigned the necessary speed of variable $limit_rate:

1 2 3 4 server if } { ( $slow ) { set $limit_rate 4k;

6 …

7 8 }

listen

缺省值: listen 80 context: server The directive specifies the address and port, on which the server accepts requests. It is possible to specify address or port only, besides, an address can be the server name, for example:

1 listen 127.0.0.1:8000;

2 listen 127.0.0.1;

3 listen 8000;

4 listen *:8000;

5 listen localhost :8000;

If only address is given, then缺省值 port 80 is used. If the directive has the”缺省值” parameter, then the server, in whom is described this directive, he will be the缺省值 server for the ad-dress:port pair, but if there are no directives with the”缺省值”parameter, then the缺省值 server will be the first server, in whom is described the address:port pair. In directive listen with parameter缺省值 it is possible to indicate several parameters, specific for the system calls listen(2) and bind(2). backlog=num –is assigned parameter backlog in call listen(2). By缺省值 backlog it is equal to -1. rcvbuf=size –is assigned parameter SO_RCVBUF for listening socket. sndbuf=size –is assigned parameter SO_SNDBUF for listening socket. accept_filter=filter –is assigned name accept-filter. It works only to FreeBSD, it is possible to use two filters –dataready and httpready. On the signal -HUP accept-filter it is possible to change only in the quite last versions FreeBSD: 6.0, 5.4-STABLE and 4.11-STABLE. deferred –indicates to use that postponed accept(2) on Linux with the aid of option TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT. bind –indicates that it is necessary to make bind(2) separately for this pair of address:port. The fact is that if are described several directives listen with the identical port, but by different addresses and one of the directives listen listens to on all addresses for this port (*:port), then nginx will make bind(2) only to *:port. It is necessary to consider that in

2.2.配置说明 Chapter2.基本配置

this case for determining the address, on which the connections ar-rive, is done the system call getsockname(). But if are used parameters backlog, rcvbuf, sndbuf, accept_filter or deferred, then it is always done separately for this pair of address:port bind(2). Example of the use of the parameters:listen 127.0.0.1缺省值 accept_filter=dataready backlog=1024;

location

语法: location [=|~|~*|^~] /uri/ { … }

缺省值: no context: server This directive allows different con-figurations depending on the URI. It can be configured using both conventional strings and regular expressions. To use regular expres-sions, you must use the prefix ~* for case insensitive match and ~ for case sensitive match. To determine which location directive matches a particular query, the conventional strings are checked first. Con-ventional strings match the beginning portion of the query and are case-sensitive -the most specific match will be used (see below on how nginx determines this). Afterwards, regular expressions are checked in the order defined in the configuration file. The first regular expres-sion to match the query will stop the search. If no regular expression matches are found, the result from the convention string search is used. There are two ways to modify this behavior. The first is to use the prefix “=”, which matches an exact query only. If the query matches, then searching stops and the request is handled immediately. For example, if the request “/” occurs frequently, then using “location = /” will expedite the processing of this request. The second is to use the prefix ^~. This prefix is used with a conventional string and tells nginx to not check regular expressions if the path provided is a match. For instance, “location ^~ /p_w_picpaths/” would halt searching if the query begins with /p_w_picpaths/ -all regular expression directives would not be checked. Furthermore it is important to know that NGINX does the comparison not URL encoded, so if you have a URL like “/ p_w_picpaths/%20/test” then use “/p_w_picpaths/ /test” to determine the location. To summarize, the order in which directives are checked is as follows: Directives with the = prefix that match the query exactly. If found, searching stops. All remaining directives with conventional strings, longest match first. If this match used the ^~ prefix, searching stops. Regular expressions, in order of definition in the configuration file. If #3 yielded a match, that result is used. Else the match from #2 is used. Example:

1 location = / {

2 # matches the query / only.

3 [ configuration A ]

5 location / {

6 # matches any query , since all queries begin with /, but regular 7 # expressions and any longer conventional blocks will be

Chapter2. 基本配置 2.2. 配置说明

8 # matched first .

9 [ configuration B ]

10 }

11 location ^~ / p_w_picpaths / {

12 # matches any query beginning with / p_w_picpaths / and halts

searching ,

13 # so regular expressions will not be checked .

14 [ configuration C ]

15 }

16 location ~* \\.( gif | jpg | jpeg )$ {

17 # matches any request ending in gif , jpg , or jpeg .

However , all

18 # requests to the / p_w_picpaths / directory will be handled

19 # Configuration C.

20 [ configuration D ]

21 }

Example requests: / -> configuration A /documents/document.html -> configuration B /p_w_picpaths/1.gif -> configuration C /documents/1.jpg -> configuration D Note that you could define these 4 configurations in any order and the results would remain the same. How nginx Determines Which Path Matches Most users will not need to know how nginx internally determines which path to use -know that it will choose the “most specific” match for your URL in a speedy and efficient manner. For those that are curious, however, read on. All path strings are sorted alphabetically. nginx then proceeds to search down the list looking for matches until the request URI has a “higher” value then the current string in the sorted list. This is determined using the family of strcmp() functions -once strcmp() returns 1, then searching stops. Once searching stops, the last string which matched is used. For example, lets say we have the following paths: / /a /apple /banana Now, lets say the server gets the path “/az”. nginx would begin search down this list. First, “/” would match, but “/ is less than “/az” so searching continues. “/a” also matches, but “/a” is still less than “/ az” so we continue again. “/apple” does not match. The next string, “/ banana”, is greater than “/az” so searching stops and the last match, “/a”, would be used.

msie_padding

语法: msie_padding [on|off]

缺省值: msie_padding on context: http, server, location This directive enables or disables the the msie_padding feature for MSIE browsers. When this is enabled Nginx will pad the size of the response headers up to 512 bytes for responses with status codes of more than 400. This prevents activating the “friendly” http error pages feature of the relevant browsers, so as to not hide the possibly more informative error pages.

msie_refresh

2.2.配置说明 Chapter2.基本配置

语法: msie_refresh [on|off]

缺省值: msie_refresh off context: http, server, location This directive allows or forbids issuing a refresh instead of doing a redirect for MSIE.

optimize_server_names

语法: optimize_server_names [ on|off ]

缺省值: optimize_server_names on context: http, server Directive activates or deactivates optimization of host name checks for name-based virtual servers. In particular, the check influences the name of the host used in redirects. If optimization is on, and all name-based servers listening on one address:port pair have identical configura-tion, then names are not checked during request execution and redirects use first server name. If redirect must use host name passed by the client, then the optimization must be turned off.

port_in_redirect

语法: port_in_redirect [ on|off ]

缺省值: port_in_redirect on context: http, server, location Di-rective allows or prevents port indication in redirects handled by nginx.

recursive_error_pages

语法: recursive_error_pages [on|off]

缺省值: recursive_error_pages off context: http, server, loca-tion recursive_error_pages enables or disables following a chain of error_page directives.

root

语法: root path

缺省值: root html context: http, server, location, if in location root specifies the document root for the requests. For example, with this configuration

1 location /i/ { 2 root /spool/w3; 3}

A request for “/i/top.gif” will return the file “/spool/w3/i/ top.gif”. You can use variables in the argument.

satisfy_any

send_timeout

语法: send_timeout the time

缺省值: send_timeout 60 context: http, server, location Directive assigns response timeout to client. Timeout is established not on entire transfer of answer, but only between two operations of reading, if after this time client will take nothing, then nginx is shutting down the connection.

sendfile

语法: sendfile [ on|off ]

缺省值: sendfile off context: http, server, location Directive activate or deactivate the usage of sendfile().

server

语法: server {…}

缺省值: no context: http Directive assigns configuration for the virtual server. There is no clear separation of the virtual servers ip-based (on the basis ip-address) and name-based (on the basis of the name, transferred in the line “Host” of the title of request). Instead of this by directives listen are described all addresses and ports, on which it is necessary to assume connections for this server, and in directive server_name are indicated all names of servers. The example to configurations is described in tuning of virtual servers.

server_name

语法: server_name name [... ]

缺省值: server_name hostname context: server Directive assigns the names of virtual server, for example: server { server_name example.com www.example.com; } The first name becomes the basic name of server. By缺省值 the name of the machine (hostname) is used. It is possible to use “*” for replacing the first part of the name: server { server_name example.com *.example.com; } Two of the given name of the above example can be combined into one: server { server_name .example.com; } The basic name of server is used in an HTTP redirects, if no a “Host” header was in client request or that header does not match any assigned server_name. You can also use just “*” to force Nginx to use the “Host” header in the HTTP redirect (note that “*” cannot be used as the first name, but you can use a dummy name such as “_” instead): server { server_name example.com *; } server { server_name _ *; }

server_names_hash_max_size

语法: server_names_hash_max_size number

缺省值: server_names_hash_max_size 512 context: http Directive

缺省值: tcp_nodelay on context: http, server, location This di-rective allows or forbids the use of the socket option TCP_NODELAY. Only included in keep-alive connections. Want to know more about the TCP_NODELAY socket option? ReadMoreAboutTcpNodelay

tcp_nopush

语法: tcp_nopush [on|off]

缺省值: tcp_nopush off context: http, server, location This di-rective permits or forbids the use of the socket options TCP_NOPUSH on FreeBSD or TCP_CORK on Linux. This option is only available when using sendfile. Setting this option causes nginx to attempt to send it’s HTTP response headers in one packet on Linux and FreeBSD 4.x ReadMoreAboutTcpNopush

types

语法: types {…} context: http, server, location Directive as-signs the correspondence of expansion and MIME-types of answers. Toone MIME-type can correspond several expansions. By缺省值 it is used these correspondences:

1 types {

2 text / html html ;

3 p_w_picpath / gif gif ;

4 p_w_picpath / jpeg jpg ;

5 }

The sufficiently complete table of mappings is included and is located in file conf/mime.types. So that for that determined location’a for all answers would reveal MIME-type “application/octet-stream”, it is possible to use the following:

1 location /download/ {

2 types { }

3 default_type application/octet.stream;

http配置

The module ngx_http_core_module supports the built-in variables, whose names correspond with the names of variables in Apache. First of all, these are the variables, which represent the lines of the title of the client request, for example,

$http_user_agent, $http_cookie and so forth. Furthermore, there are other variables:

$args, this variable is equal to arguments in the line of request;

$content_length, this variable is equal to line “Content-Length” in the header of request; $content_type, this variable is equal to line “Content-Type” in the header of request; $document_root, this variable is equal to the value of directive root for the current request;

$document_uri, the same as $uri;

$host, this variable is equal to line “Host” in the header of request or name of the server, to whom the request arrived, if there is no this line;

$limit_rate, the variable allows to limit connection rate;

$request_method, this variable is equal to the method of request, usually this “GET” or “POST”; $remote_addr, this variable is equal to the address of client; $remote_port, this variable is equal to the port of client;

$remote_user, this variable is equal to the name of user, authen-ticated by ngx_http_auth_basic_module;

$request_filename, this variable is equal to path to the file for the current request, formed from directives root or alias and URI request; $request_body_file, ??? $request_uri, this variable is equal to the complete initial URI together with the arguments;

$query_string, the same as $args;

$scheme, the HTTP scheme (http, https). Evaluated only on demand, for example: rewrite ^(.+)$ $scheme://example.com$1 redirect;

$server_protocol, this variable is equal to the protocol of re-quest, usually this “HTTP/1.0″ or “HTTP/1.1″;

$server_addr, the variable is equal to the server address, to whom arrived the request. As a rule, for obtaining the value of this variable is done one system call. In order to avoid system call, it is necessary to indicate addresses in directives listen and to use parameter bind;

$server_name, this variable is equal to the name of the server, to whom arrived the request;

$server_port, this variable is equal to the port of the server, to which the request arrived;

$uri, this variable is equal to current URI in the request, it can differ from initial, for example by internal redirects, or with the

2.3启动和控制

nginx是超级稳定的服务器，一般不会因为超载问题而需要重启，重启的目的一般都是修改配置文件后需要加载一下。最开始的时候，我是用最直接的重启方式 killall -9 nginx;/data/nginx/sbin/nginx如果机器比较慢，kill进程时一瞬间杀不完，再执行一次即可。这种重启方式不是特别安全，如果配置有误，则会重启失败，需要重新修改配置文件然后再启动，期间会消耗一点时间。不过对于目前普遍还是不怎么严格的http界而言，这点时间还不至于产生太大损失，只要不是在关键时刻搞出来就好。如果希望沿用这种重启办法，我提议还是先好好测试吧。后来我在nginx.net上看到了一种更奇妙的重启 kill-HUP$pid($pid就是nginxmaster进程的进程号)我一般这样用

kill .HUP `cat / data / nginx / logs / nginx .pid `

这种方式的好处是实现“平滑重启”，在ps-aux中可以看到，nginx首先启动新进程，旧的进程仍然提供服务，在一段时间后，旧的进程服务结束就自动关闭，剩下新进程继续服务。但是这种方式也是有缺点的，如果配置文件有误，或者资源冲突，则重启失效，但nginx并没有任何的提示！这就会时常发现改动的配置文件没有生效，又比较难找到问题。所以，最后杂和了一下问题，

2.3.启动和控制 Chapter2.基本配置

弄了一个nginx.sh，这个版本的nginx.sh还是没有解决kill-HUP的资源冲突的问题，但解决了配置文件的问题。资源冲突的比如80端口被占用、日志文件目录没有创建这种的，我再想想办法。
