You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding

of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.

http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls

http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart

http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration

Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean

file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.

Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

Default server configuration

# server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server;

SSL configuration

#

listen 443 ssl default_server;

listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;

#

Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package

Don't use them in a production server!

#

include snippets/snakeoil.conf;

root /var/www/html;

Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP

index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

servername ;

location / {

First attempt to serve request as file, then

as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.

try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }

pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

# #location ~ .php$ {

include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

#

# With php5-cgi alone:

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

# With php5-fpm:

fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

#}

deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root

concurs with nginx's one

# #location ~ /.ht {

deny all;

#} }

Virtual Host configuration for example.com

#

You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that

to sites-enabled/ to enable it.

# #server {

listen 80;

listen [::]:80;

#

server_name example.com;

#

root /var/www/example.com;

index index.html;

#

location / {

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

}

#}
