README-win32 - README for the Windows 32-bit build of OpenResty
Description
The binary distributions of OpenResty can be downloaded from the following web page:
https://openresty.org/#Download
To start the NGINX server of the nginx server of the Win32 binary distribution of OpenResty:
start nginx
You can also specify the -p PATH/
option to override the default server prefix, as in
cd /path/to/my/openresty/app/
start nginx -p $PWD
Then you can use the tasklist
command to check the nginx processes running in the background:
C:\> tasklist /fi "imagename eq nginx.exe"
Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
nginx.exe 4616 Console 1 7,412 K
nginx.exe 5836 Console 1 7,800 K
One of the two processes is the master process while the other is the worker.
If you are using the MSYS bash instead of the cmd.exe
console, then you should replace the /fi
option
with -fi
in the command above instead.
You can quickly shut down the server like this:
nginx -s stop
or gracefully shut it down like this:
nginx -s quit
You can also forcibly kill the nginx processes via their PIDs with taskkill
, as in
C:\> taskkill /pid 5488 /F
where the PID (5488 in this example) can be found via the aforementioned tasklist
command.
Again, you should use the form -pid
and -F
for the options if you are in an MSYS bash
session.
Similarly, you can use the nginx -s reload
command to reload nginx configurations without
stopping the server. And you can use nginx -s reopen
to instruct nginx to re-open
all the log files.
You can run the resty
script like this:
C:\> resty -e "ngx.say('Hello, OpenResty!')"
Hello, OpenResty!
The resty
command-line utility requires a Perl interpreter installed in your
system and visible to your PATH environment. Any perl distributions should
work, including StrawberryPerl, ActivePerl, and MSYS perl (the former two are
recommended though).
Debugging
Debug symbosl are enabled even in release builds. So that when things go very wrong, one can still debug things with tools like MSYS GDB.
Inclusion of debug symbols make the binary files (.exe
and .dll
files) much larger,
but it generally will not load into memory during normal execution on a modern operating
system.
Caveats
The Win32 port of the NGINX core supports the good old select
IO multiplexing mechanism
only.
The I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) feature is not supported (yet). So do not use this build
for production environments with very high concurrency levels.
This Win32 build of OpenResty is mainly for developers who want to develop their applications in native Windows environment (though they eventually push the finished work onto a Linux or *BSD box, most of the time).
TODO
- Add support for more than one NGINX worker processes.
- Add support for concurrent connections more than 1024.
- Switch to the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler toolchain for better performance and easier binary package redistribution.
- Bundle StrawberryPerl to make command-line utilities like
resty
work out of the box (without manually installing a Perl). - Deliver an alternative Win32 binary package built with best debuggin capabilities (like enabling NGINX debugging logs, disabling C compiler optimizations, and enabling all the assertions and checks).
- Deliver binary packages for 64-bit Windows (Win64).
Details About The Building Process
Usually you do not need to worry about how the Win32 binaries were built on the maintainers'' side. But if you do, please read on.
The Win32 build of OpenResty is currently built via the MinGW/MSYS toolchain, including MinGW gcc 4.8.1, MSYS perl, MSYS bash, MSYS make, and etc. Basically, it is currently built via the following cmmands:
mkdir -p objs/lib || exit 1
cd objs/lib || exit 1
ls ../../..
tar -xf ../../../openssl-1.0.2d.tar.gz
tar -xf ../../../zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
tar -xf ../../../pcre-8.37.tar.gz
cd ../..
./configure --with-cc=gcc \
--prefix= \
--with-cc-opt='-DFD_SETSIZE=1024' \
--with-select_module \
--with-ipv6 \
--sbin-path=nginx.exe \
--with-pcre-jit \
--with-luajit-xcflags="-DLUAJIT_NUMMODE=2 -DLUAJIT_ENABLE_LUA52COMPAT" \
--with-pcre=objs/lib/pcre-8.37 \
--with-zlib=objs/lib/zlib-1.2.8 \
--with-openssl=objs/lib/openssl-1.0.2d \
-j5
make
make install
where the dependency library source tarballs for OpenSSL, Zlib, and PCRE are downloaded from their official sites, respectively.
We automate these commands in a dedicated shell script named build-win32.sh.
Furthermore, we automate the packaging process of the resulting binaries and supporting files with this package-win32.sh script.
Usually you can just download and use the binary distribution of OpenResty without installing the build toolchain.
