Lab 1.

1 Install open source NGINX on CentOS

1. Create the nginx.repo file in the yum repository

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

2. Copy the following into nginx.repo


3. [nginx]
4. name=nginx repo
5. baseurl=https://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/7/$basearch/
6. gpgcheck=0
7. enabled=1
8. Save and exit nginx.repo
9. Update package components and install nginx

yum update && yum install nginx -y

10. Click "y" when prompted to download NGINX.


11. Start the nginx process

nginx

12. Verify that NGINX is running

curl localhost

If NGINX is correctly installed you'll see a "Welcome to NGINX" page.

Lab 1.2 Download and install a dynamic module

1. Create a simple JavaScript.

vim /etc/nginx/moduletest.js

2. Paste the javascript below into the file.


3. function moduleTest(res) {
4. res.return(200, "The njs module was loaded\n");
5. }
6. Save and exit moduletest.js
7. Open /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

8. In the HTTP context (between the brackets following http) enter the following:

js_include moduletest.js;

9. Beneath the line you just entered, paste the following nginx configuration:
10. server {
11. listen 80;
12. location / {
13. js_content moduleTest;
14. }
15. }
16. Save and exit nginx.conf
17. Rename nginx default configuraiton.

mv /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.bak

18. Reload NGINX

nginx -s reload

You should get an error - unknown directive. This indicates that the njs module
hasn't been installed.

19. Use yum to download and install the njs module

yum install nginx-module-njs -y

20. When the install is complete, open /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

21. Near the top of the file nginx.conf, add the following lines to enable the njs module in
both the http and stream modules:
22. load_module modules/ngx_http_js_module.so;
23. load_module modules/ngx_stream_js_module.so;
24. Save and exit nginx.conf
25. Reload nginx to affect changes

nginx -s reload

26. Curl localhost.

curl localhost

You should see the output of our javascript, "the njs module was loaded"
