FreeBSD + NGINX! How to configure and setup?

Posted on April 26, 2015

I’ve been trying to setup NGINX with freeBSD with no luck. I’m quite new to the platform and programming in general. I’m just a web designer but I’m trying to expand my skill set and knowledge base on the backend.

I’ve found a few tutorials on the web about setting up NGINX with freeBSD but none of them seem to work. I’ve spent all of last night trying to setup up NGINX and get it to serve my web pages.

Can anyone help me with this? I recently created a droplet and installed NGINX. Where do I go from here?

Pay attention to permissions, users, and groups . Read the log files for error messages. Read the FreeBSD manual: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/

A 5. second Google search: “freebsd nginx” (w/o the quotes) gave me in the very 1st search result: A very promising web page on digitalocean.com “How To Install an Nginx, MySQL, and PHP (FEMP) Stack on FreeBSD 10.1” https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-nginx-mysql-and-php-femp-stack-on-freebsd-10-1
