Hello.

I’m new to Nginx - & set it up a week or so ago… (with Codeigniter /  
PHP)…

Having problems.

1. 

Anyway, I tried tonight. & see I have a directory of \etc\nginx\conf.d  
with nothing in it.

Is this folder a place to put config files ?

and where on the net can I download / view a list of ‘propper’ config  
files…

Yes, in that it’s often included as part of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, but  
it’s not required.

You should start at the wiki:

There’s plenty of examples there to get you started. Also, Google can  
be a big help 😉
