Re: [Trisquel-users] New install for new Trisquel user

[martin]

I learned by starting from a basic config file and figured things from there.  
 You should use http://nginx.org/en/docs/ to help you with this.  Most things  
are explained in http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html.

Your main config file is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and you don't really need any  
other config files except for organizational purposes.  Trisquel's nginx  
installation comes with several predefined config files and directories in  
/etc/nginx - I just remove them all and start from scratch.

When doing changes you can reload nginx with:

sudo nginx -s reload


Here's a very basic config file:


user www-data www-data;

events {
}

http {
  default_type application/octet-stream;
  autoindex on;
  index index.html;

  types {
    "text/html; charset=utf-8" html;
    "text/css; charset=utf-8" css;
    "application/javascript; charset=utf-8" js;
    "application/json; charset=utf-8" json;

    image/png png;
    image/jpeg jpg jpeg;
    image/gif gif;
    video/ogg ogv;
  }

  server {
    server_name localhost;
    root /srv/geshmy/www;
  }
}


Here is what I pretty much use on my server:


user www-data www-data;

events {
}

http {
  default_type application/octet-stream;
  autoindex on;
  index index.txt index.html;

  types {
    "text/html; charset=utf-8" html;
    "text/css; charset=utf-8" css;
    "application/javascript; charset=utf-8" js;
    "application/json; charset=utf-8" json;

    image/png png;
    image/jpeg jpg jpeg;
    image/gif gif;
    video/ogg ogv
  }

  server {

      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
    }

      }
    }
  }
