Nginx, PHP, and Phalcon were installed and configured on Windows to serve web applications. Nginx was set up as a web server with PHP enabled through FastCGI. PHP and nginx processes were configured as Windows services using winsw. Phalcon was installed as a PHP extension. Testing involved accessing a phpinfo.php file to confirm PHP and Phalcon were installed correctly. Potential errors addressed included missing Visual C++ runtime libraries.

4. About nginx
• nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a
generic TCP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev. According to Netcraft,
nginx served or proxied 23.94% busiest sites in November 2015. Here are some of
the success stories: Netflix, Wordpress.com, FastMail.FM.
• nginx is noted to be a good server for sites that need fast, efficient reverse proxies
or fast, efficient serving of static content. It is acclaimed for having low memory
