NGNIX

To run NGINX with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), you’ll need to install WSL, set up an appropriate Linux distribution, install NGINX, and start the server. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Install WSL (if not already installed)

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator and enable WSL:

wsl --install

Step 2: Update and Install NGINX in WSL

1. Update the package list in your Linux distribution (assuming Ubuntu here):

sudo apt update

2. Install NGINX:

sudo apt install nginx -y

3. Verify Installation by checking the NGINX version:

nginx -v

• Enable Service

sudo systemctl enable nginx

• Check Service status

sudo systemctl status nginx

Step 3: Start NGINX

1. Start the NGINX service:

sudo service nginx start

2. To check if NGINX is running, use:

sudo service nginx status

Step 5: Access NGINX from Windows:

http://localhost

Step 5: Manage NGINX in WSL:

1. Stop NGINX:

sudo service nginx stop

2. Restart NGINX:

sudo service nginx restart

3. Reload NGINX (to apply changes without a full restart):

sudo service nginx reload
