nginx Win32 binary
Several days ago I compiled nginx under windows/cygwin platform, and everything working fine, actually I have used/configured the server to serve only http + https, no proxy or mail events… however I couldn’t manage to make it work with php-cgi. This makes the server more or less useless but.. if someone wants to try it can download the win32 binary.
I tried to make it run with php version:
X:Binphp>php-cgi.exe -v
PHP 5.2.5 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Nov 8 2007 23:32:46)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:8001
The nginx’s config can be found in the sfx-rar(self-executable) archive.
The configs As I remember can be a little outdated from mine right now.. but the main http/https must work.. however these days I hope I’ll have some time and check again why the php-cgi don’t want give me back executed php code :S.
I’m posting all this just in case someone want’s to try it under windows platform, it’s not official port of the program not.. in any case.

Actually I managed to configure win32 nginx plus php-cgi 5.2.5 a day or may be two after I wrote this post… but again I was too lazy to make an archive of the binaries + example configs. My main mistake was the path, I was thinking it’s smarter :lol:, however after a little play with the path It started up and now it is working pretty good :). I’ll see if I could build the spawn-cgi plus some windows services trick and I home I’ll be able to make it run like normal windows application plus the service (spawn-cgi) to be managed via services.msc or some ugly gui dialog with buttons start/stop. Not much to be done.. but I just dont have the time or the desire to make it these days. If someone wants to see all the stuff just leave me a notice here and I’ll see if I can get this done sooner.
