How to add Nginx to system services in CentOS7

Introduction

After compiling, installing and solving the problem, Nginx is running normally, but Nginx is not added to the system service at this time. Next, we will add Nginx to the system services and set it to start at boot.

View Services

First check the service status of Nginx, enter systemctl status nginx , the result is as follows

No related services are found, the next step is to add system services.

Adding system services

Add nginx.service in the /usr/lib/systemd/system directory and modify it according to the actual situation. For detailed analysis, please refer to the article in the reference below. The content is as follows

[Unit]
Description=nginx - high performance web server
Documentation=http://nginx.org/en/docs/
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
 
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid
ExecStartPre=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -t -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
ExecStart=/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID
PrivateTmp=true
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

After adding, check again

Set automatic startup

First test it, restart it and then check the Nginx service

It really didn't start. Enter systemctl start nginx to start

You can use systemctl to start it, which means there is no problem with nginx.service added previously. Then enter systemctl enable nginx to set it to start at boot

Finally restart to check whether the setting is successful

No problem, the compilation and installation of Nginx is complete, and the next step is to install PHP.
