Running Nginx on OS X is becoming a more attractive alternative to running some of the standard stacks that developers use to set up their environments.
That is, I think many of us are used to running something like this following:
- Apache
- MySQL
- PHP
- WordPress
That works because the majority of our hosts have these configurations, and it’s a good practice to have our development environment mirror our staging and production environments.
But Nginx is becoming a popular alternative to Apache and other web servers, so we need to update our local machines accordingly.Getting it set up on OS X takes a little more work.
