Hello, I have several questions about using NginX. 1. After I first install nginx-0.8.41 in Ubuntu 8.04 system, with the default .conf file. I start nginx with 127.0.0.1:8000, however, I can not see the default webpage. The browser can not connect to server. Could anyone help me to figure it out? 1. I am following the instructions in [http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpChunkinModule](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpChunkinModule) to configure nginx. when I start nginx, I encounter the error: [emerg]: unknown directive “chunkin” in ./conf/nginx.conf:36 The line is 35 server { 36 chunkin on; 37 listen 127.0.0.1:8000; Thanks, Yanxin ---

Hello Yanxin, starts nginx if you not set the chunkin on; option? Chunkin is no build in option, you must build ngnix from source. Use –add-module=/path/to/chunkin-nginx-module while you configure…Described here: [http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpChunkinModule#Installation](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpChunkinModule#Installation) If you already do this, please show us the output from nginx -V Cheers, Alexander ---

By default, nginx will be installed into /usr/local/nginx/. Ensure you’re using this nginx instead of the nginx shipped by your OS vender. You can use the absolute path of your nginx: ``` /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /path/to/your/nginx.conf ``` Cheers, -agentzh ---
