Graphic tutorial on configuring nginx file server in windows 10 system

Download the Windows version of Nginx from the Nginx official website:

http://nginx.org/en/download.html

Unzip the downloaded software package:

Notice:

The path of the decompressed package cannot contain Chinese characters, otherwise the Nginx service cannot be started.

Start the Nginx service:

"Windows key + R key" to open the run, enter "cmd" to enter the "Dos terminal"

C:\Users\Administrator>f:
F:\>cd GX\nginx-1.16.1
# Start command F:\GX\nginx-1.16.1>start nginx
F:\GX\nginx-1.16.1> 

After the service is successfully started, there will be two "nginx" processes in the task manager

Modify the configuration file and restart Nginx

Add the following lines above the "HTTPS server block" in the "nginx.conf" file

# Add file manager # Display directory autoindex on;
# Display file size autoindex_exact_size on;
# Display file time autoindex_localtime on;
 
server {
listen 8888;
server_name localhost ;
# Local file path # Note that you cannot use the entire logical disk F:\ as the directory path directly. You need to use F:\ English directory name root F:\GX\Chiron;
}

Reload Nginx Service

# Reload the Nginx service command F:\GX\nginx-1.16.1>nginx.exe -s reload

F:\GX\nginx-1.16.1>

Web browser access verification: Here I have created a "test.txt" file in the "F:\GX\Chiron" directory for testing. Access address: http://ip:port

Notice:

1. The directory name and file name must use English characters to download normally;

2. Files with Chinese characters may display garbled characters, and when downloading, a "500 Internal Server Error" error may be reported. Related commands for Windows version of Nginx:

nginx -s stop //Stop nginx
nginx -s reload //Reload nginx
nginx -s quit //Exit nginx
start nginx //Start nginx

Set the PC to start automatically at startup C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and create a shortcut for "nginx.exe" in the above directory.
