How to Run Nginx in WSL
July 4, 2023•90 words
Nginx won’t run in CentOS build for WSL, because CentOS is using systemctl
and it relies on Linux ‘init
‘ but in WSL it is Microsoft init
.
Use Ubuntu, this distro is default and popular for WSL, together with having the service management command named ‘service
‘ instead of ‘systemctl’ which doesn’t require Linux ‘init
‘.
Install Nginx in Ubuntu WSL:
sudo apt install nginx -y
Start Nginx:
sudo service nginx start
Restart Nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
Stop Nginx:
sudo service nginx stop
