Updating Nginx to the 0.6.x branch

As I’m right now moving Visualizeus to a new server, this time a dedicated one because of the huge growth, I saw that the branch 0.6.31 was the latest stable Nginx version. So, taking advantage of the server move, I decided also to update the Nginx version.

So if you don’t want to lose your time as I did, specially when moving to a new server where you can’t find where the bug is coming so easily, please notice the following:

Changes with nginx 0.6.7 15 Aug 2007

*) Change: now the paths specified in the “include”,
“auth_basic_user_file”, “perl_modules”, “ssl_certificate”,
“ssl_certificate_key”, and “ssl_client_certificate” directives are
relative to directory of nginx configuration file nginx.conf, but
not to nginx prefix directory.

Stupid little thing but not documented in the official Nginx wiki (till now ;))

ps: Whoah! I didn’t know that WordPress.com and even YouPorn were powered by nginx! Go, huge little russian server, go! :D
