Yep.. just another one win32/cygwin nginx build. Get a working nginx under windows with two clicks.

Download link: Win32 nginx 0.6.29

In case you want to run nginx like a service on windows NT/2000/XP/2003(must be running on all of these) you’ll need this srvany.

To install nginx like a windows service with php-cgi type this:
instsrv.exe nginx c:nginxbinnginx.exe
instsrv.exe php-cgi c:phpphp-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000

In case you want to stop using it at some time, you can remove the service using this:
instsrv.exe nginx remove
instsrv.exe php-cgi remove

For more options over the services use “services.msc” (start -> run -> services.msc)

That’s it! Simple, ha?

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
