How to Configure Nginx on Windows Using the Default Configuration File

Nginx is a powerful and widely-used web server that can be configured to handle various types of web traffic efficiently. Although Nginx is more commonly associated with Unix-based systems, it is also available for Windows. This article will guide you through the process of configuring Nginx on a Windows system using the default configuration file. This is important for Windows users who want to leverage the performance benefits of Nginx without switching to a Unix-based system.

Examples:

  1. Download and Install Nginx on Windows:

    • Go to the official Nginx download page.
    • Download the stable version of Nginx for Windows.
    • Extract the downloaded zip file to a preferred directory, for example, C:\nginx.
  2. Locate the Default Configuration File:

    • The default configuration file, nginx.conf, is located in the conf directory within your Nginx installation directory, e.g., C:\nginx\conf\nginx.conf.
  3. Basic Configuration:

    Open the nginx.conf file using a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.

    worker_processes  1;
    
    events {
       worker_connections  1024;
    }
    
    http {
       include       mime.types;
       default_type  application/octet-stream;
    
       sendfile        on;
       keepalive_timeout  65;
    
       server {
           listen       80;
           server_name  localhost;
    
           location / {
               root   html;
               index  index.html index.htm;
           }
    
           error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
           location = /50x.html {
               root   html;
           }
       }
    }
  4. Running Nginx:

    • Open Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator.

    • Navigate to the Nginx installation directory:

      cd C:\nginx
    • Start Nginx using the following command:
