This assumes you have installed OpenResty on a Linux system.
Create directories that will contain your Nginx files.
mkdir --parents /opt/openresty/conf
mkdir --parents /opt/openresty/logs
Create the Nginx configuration file.
touch /opt/openresty/conf/nginx.conf
Add the following to nginx.conf.
worker_processes 1;
error_log logs/error.log;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
default_type text/html;
content_by_lua_block {
ngx.say("<p>Hello World</p>")
}
}
}
}
Start the Nginx web server.
/usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /opt/openresty/conf/nginx.conf
In a web browser, navigate to the hostname of your system running OpenResty on port 8080, and Hello World should be displayed.
