Hi all...In the previous post Introduction to ganglia monitoring and graphing tool we had a look at how ganglia monitoring tool works. As mentioned in that post We require 2 seperate machines to test the installation(however you can test it using a single machine by making that machine installed with both gmond and gmetad and also serve it through apache and php in that same machine). In this example configuration we will be using 2 seperate machines.

Machine 1:

Hostname: slashroot1.slashroot.in

Installation: gmond

Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

In the previous 3 documentation posts of nginx we learned how to install nginx,how is nginx different from apache,what all options are available while installing nginx.

If you install nginx using yum package manager, or by using rpm(by downloading and installing .rpm of nginx package), as mentioned in How to install nginx in rhel and centos, you do not require to add an init script to start,restart and stop the service.Because nginx when installed from a package manager adds the init script in the correct location where its required. So in that case you can start,stop,restart,reload etc using the service command, or by using /etc/init.d/nginx <options> command to do it.

In the previous two posts about nginx.. how is nginx different from apache, How to install nginx in rhel and centos we have discussed the difference between apache and nginx, and also learned how to install nginx, with basic options and modules enabled.

But there are some advanced options which we need to understand to install nginx in a more efficient manner. We did have a look at the following options we supplied to the ./configure command.

--prefix,--pid-path,--http-log-path,--without-http_rewrite_module,--without-http_gzip_module.

Hi all..in the post how is nginx different from apache we discussed about the major factors which makes nginx different from apache.

In this post we will see how can we get the package nginx installed. We will be doing this installation tutorial in Red Hat Enterprise linux (configuring it in Centos is exactly the same.).

I will keep my post as simple as possible, please let me know about the shortcomings that you felt in this post. So lets start out tutorial.

Its recommended that you enable "epel" repo in your yum configuration files path inorder to install the nginx package through yum package manger.

In this post we will be discussing about one of the main dependency service, for many other services.

Network Time Protocol:

its a protocol used for synchronizing clock between machines, it works on the principle of Marzullo's algorithm. NTP protocol can maintain time accuracy in the range of 1 milliseconds, if configured correctly and is under ideal conditions.
