Greetings,
It seems that /etc/nginx.conf gets replaced by the default in each new
nginx install. Do you confirm this? Any chance it doesn’t replace that
file, if it exists already, by default?
Thank you.
Pedro.

When you compile and install nginx from sources by hand it doesn’t
happen, as well as for nginx (re)installed from FreeBSD port.
But as long as you mention ‘/etc/nginx.conf’ it looks like you are
using some linux package, and probably it’s a good idea to look
into it and ask your package maintainer to fix this if it’s really
happens.

Thank you, nice catch. It’s regression introduced in 0.6.6.
Patch attached.

Yes, I’m compiling from sources. I found out what the problem is:
$ ./configure --prefix=/servers/nginx-0.7.60 --conf-path=/etc/ngix.conf
$ make
make install
[SNIP]
test -f ‘/etc/ngix.conf’ || cp conf/nginx.conf ‘/etc’
cp conf/nginx.conf ‘/etc/nginx.conf.default’
test -d ‘/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs’ || mkdir -p ‘/servers/
nginx-0.7.60/logs’
test -d ‘/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs’ || mkdir -p ‘/
servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs’
test -d ‘/servers/nginx-0.7.60/html’ || cp -r html ‘/
servers/nginx-0.7.60’
test -d ‘/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs’ || mkdir -p ‘/
servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs’
make[1]: Leaving directory `/servers/sources/nginx-0.7.60’
In the configure line I made a mistake and stated /etc/ngix.conf as
the config file (notice the lack of the n). When installing, the
script stats /etc/ngix.conf, and as it doesn’t exist, it copies the
default nginx.conf, not changing its name. Since I use a init.d script
for starting up nginx, configured to use /etc/nginx.conf, this file
always is replaced in this situation on every new install.
It’s not really important, maybe it can be fixed when somebody has 1
minute spare.
Thanks.
