install-nginx-mac-osx.txt

# in terminal
brew install nginx

# running on default port you can run without sudo
nginx

# fancy running nginx evertime you start the machine?
# brew services start nginx

# check its running - http://localhost:8080

# stop the nginx server if it's running
sudo nginx -s stop 

# if apache running must also be stopped
sudo apachectl stop

# change default port to port 80
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

========================================
# change : 

 server {
listen       8080;
server_name  localhost;

#access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

location / {
    root   html;
    index  index.html index.htm;
}

# to this:

server {
listen       80;
server_name  localhost;

#access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

location / {
    root   html;
    index  index.html index.htm;
}

# save and relaunch
========================================

# again run nginx - sudo not required
nginx

# default location for serving files from homebrew install is: /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/<version_number/html
# move the output of your 'build' i.e where the index.html (root) files sit into this directory for nginx to serve them
