nginx win64

Nginx is a free, open-source, high-performance web server and reverse proxy server software. It is designed to handle large amounts of traffic and is commonly used to serve static content, media files, and dynamic applications.

To install Nginx on a Windows 64-bit operating system, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest stable version of Nginx for Windows from the official Nginx website.
2. Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice, such as C:\nginx-1.19.6.
3. Open the extracted folder and navigate to the conf directory.
4. Open the nginx.conf file in a text editor and make any necessary configuration changes, such as setting the server name or specifying the directories for serving static content.
5. Open a command prompt as an administrator and navigate to the directory where Nginx is installed.
6. Run the following command to start Nginx: nginx.exe
7. To stop Nginx, run the following command: nginx.exe -s stop

Note: It is recommended to run Nginx as a Windows service for production environments. You can use a third-party tool like NSSM to install and manage Nginx as a service on Windows.
