What is NGINX Plus?
Step 1: Open the Nginx Plus URL link: https://cs.nginx.com/repo_setup
Step 2: Choose your OS and distribution (RHEL 7.4+ in my case).
Choose Enterprise version OR you need to choose free trial request for 30 days URL
https://www.nginx.com/free-trial-request
step 4: Register and you will receive a trail mail for 30 days, from there need to download nginx-repo.key & nginx-repo.crt files.
**********************************************************
Since this first installation, you will face "No such file or directory this"
Step 1) If you already have old NGINX packages in your system, back up your configs and logs:
Command:
sudo cp -a /etc/Nginx /etc/nginx-plus-backup
sudo cp -a /var/log/nginx /var/log/nginx-plus-backup
Step 2) Create the /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory:
Command:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssl/nginx
Step 3) Log in to NGINX Customer Portal and download the following two files.
nginx-repo.key
nginx-repo.crt
Step 4) Copy the above two files to the RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux server into "/etc/ssl/nginx/" directory. Use your SCP client or other secure file transfer tools.
Step 5) Install prerequisite packages.
Command:
sudo yum install ca-certificates
this step will install CA-certificates to your local OS server from REDHAT.
Step 6) Add NGINX Plus repository by downloading the file nginx-plus-7.4.repo to "/etc/yum.repos.d"
Download the "nginx-plus-7.4.repo" and copy this file to "/etc/yum.repos.d" location.
Step 7) Install the NGINX Plus package.
Command:
sudo yum install nginx-plus
Step 8) Check the nginx binary version.
Command:
nginx -v
OR
Command:
nginx -V
Step 9) start the Nginx.
Command:
nginx
Step 10) To verify that NGINX is returning requests.
Command:
curl localhost
