Nginx 1.0.8 for Windows

By Kevin Worthington Published: 1 October 2011

Nginx for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Nginx 1.0.8 for Windows are now available to the public for download. Both were built on Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit for the respective versions of Nginx) using Cygwin.

Note that these versions are part of the upstream stable branch. I did not release 1.0.7, since it could not be built using certain options. See the changelog below.

These Nginx for Windows packages are provided as is without any guarantees or warranties. Use at your own risk. Please read on below for more details.

These builds are built in support of legacy users who still use Cygwin based builds. Official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org.
