Nginx For Windows
PLEASE NOTE: Native Nginx Windows builds are available at http://nginx.net
(My announcement was here: Nginx for Windows Native Builds.)
The last available Nginx for Windows build that I created using Cygwin was Nginx for Windows 0.7.50, the full page of my builds are located here: Nginx For Windows. Updated September 29, 2009.
Welcome to the Nginx for Windows download page.
All current Nginx for Windows releases are built with Cygwin on Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit) and work on 32-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000, Windows 7 Beta, and other similar versions. Other versions of Windows may be compatible, but were not tested.
Cygwin is used to build Nginx for Windows, but a full Cygwin installation is not required to run Nginx for Windows. The necessary Cygwin files are included in the Nginx for Windows setup package.
From Nginx 0.7.34 forward, most default modules are compiled in.
Nginx for Windows should not be used for production, but can be used for development purposes.
