Nginx是一款轻量级的web服务器/反向代理服务器,更详细的释义自己百度了。目前国内像新浪、网易等都在使用它。先说下我的服务器软件环境：

系统：windows_server_2008_standard_enterprise_and_datacenter_with_sp2_x64

当前运行的Tomcat：非安装版本Tomcat 6.0.36

就说这两个关键的吧，目前遇到的问题是访问量剧增单个tomcat已无力负载了，经常出现超时的情况。于是就计划用nginx布置负载均衡，网络上查到的资料多是介绍linux版本的nginx的布置及使用，但在windows中如果使用linux版本的nginx只能做个测试用，实际生产环境是无法使用的，会报如下的错误：

maximum number of descriptors supported by select() is 1024 while waiting for request

这是因为文件访问句柄数被限制为1024了，当访问量大时就会无法响应。去网上有查过很多资料说是修改参数worker_connections可以解决此限制，还有其它很多说修改worker_rlimit_nofile 参数等，都尝试了但都以失败告终。就在准备换其它工具时在国外的一个论坛看到了一条回复，地址不记得了，说的是有专门的windows版本的nginx，已修改了文件句柄数据的限制。后来下载后果真配置成功运行ok了。只要下载到正确的版本配置还是so easy的。以下为下载配置过程哈~~

nginx for windows官网：http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

nginx for windows下载载地址： http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/download/

我下载的是nginx 1.7.7.1 WhiteRabbit.zip这个版本，太新的版本我怕不稳定。下载完毕后解压安装包，里面有个简要的更新信息和安装指南Readme nginx-win version.txt。关键信息如下：

*** Default installation instructions;
* New: unzip this version with folder structure
* Old: overwrite with this version
* Check nginx.conf, nginx-org.conf and nginx-win.conf
* Windows optimization registry file: check your current values BEFORE setting the new ones

# multiple workers works !
# 工作进程数：这个数值要根据服务器CPU核心数来配置，如6核12线程的cpu可以配置为6或12。

Tomcat的配置就比较简单了就是再复制一个改三处端口就可以了。具体自己百度了。

配置完毕运行nginx.exe和tomcat就可以验证配置情况了。

nginx启动控制我采用了网上一哥们的脚本，地址如下：
