Support of nginx web-server - Nginx , open-source, high-performance HTTP server
NGINX provides a unique combination of web server, caching proxy and load balancing solution to any web site that just wants to be consistently efficient. Because of its design and architecture NGINX has already enabled more performance, scalability, reliability and security to many organizations across the world. Today NGINX is the 2nd most popular open source web server on the Internet.
In fact, if the open source developer continues to grow at its current rate, it could eventually take over Microsoft to have the second largest number of active sites.
Today, NGINX powers over 40 million domains on the Internet, and over 20 percent of the top 1,000 busiest websites.
NGINX (from “engine x”) is a web server, caching proxy and accelerated load distribution solution. Millions of web sites on the Internet benefit from using NGINX because of its extreme performance, scalability, reliability and security.

Official Red Hat/CentOS packages
To add nginx yum repository, create a file named /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo and paste one of the configurations below:
CentOS:
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
RHEL:
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Note that if you are using a 6.1 series, you may need to put in "6", rather than $releasever in the baseurl above.
Official Debian/Ubuntu packages
Append the appropriate stanza to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Ubuntu 10.04:
deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx
Debian 6:
deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx
Ubuntu PPA
This PPA is maintained by volunteers and is not distributed by nginx.org. It has some additional compiled-in modules and may be more fitting for your environment.
You can get the latest stable version of Nginx from the Nginx PPA on Launchpad: You will need to have root privileges to perform the following commands.
For Ubuntu 10.04 and newer:
sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx
If you get an error about add-apt-repository not existing, you will want to install python-software-properties. For other Debian/Ubuntu based distributions, you can try the lucid variant of the PPA which is the most likely to work on older package sets.
sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/$nginx/ubuntu lucid main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-$nginx-lucid.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C300EE8C
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx
