[root@localhost ~]# yum install nginx



To start the nginx service,


[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/nginx start

Starting nginx:                                            [  OK  ]
[root@localhost ~]#

To verfiy the version,

[root@locahost ~]# nginx -v

To list the nginx files location,

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ql nginx

/etc/logrotate.d/nginx
/etc/nginx
/etc/nginx/conf.d
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf
/etc/nginx/conf.d/virtual.conf
/etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf
/etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf.default
/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params.default

/etc/nginx/koi-win
/etc/nginx/mime.types

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx
/etc/sysconfig/nginx
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/nginx
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/nginx/nginx.so
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/nginx.pm
/usr/sbin/nginx
/usr/share/doc/nginx-1.0.15
/usr/share/doc/nginx-1.0.15/CHANGES

/usr/share/doc/nginx-1.0.15/README
/usr/share/man/man3/nginx.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/nginx.8.gz
/usr/share/nginx
/usr/share/nginx/html

/var/lib/nginx/tmp

[root@localhost ~]#

Now you can able to access the nginx default page. Go to the web browser and type your machine ip address or localhost. In my case ip address 10.118.248.52

It's working...
