This is a simple (one file) configuration file for nginx with drupal. It works with ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04.

It is based on http://wiki.nginx.org/Drupal

Pre-requisites

• php5-fpm installed and all drupal dependencies (php5-mysql or php5-postgres, php5-gd, etc)
• nginx installed

Usage

You clone the repo, then just create a new config file for you new site.

file: /etc/nginx/sites-available/sample-site.conf

server {
  listen       80;
  server_name  dev.axai.org;
  root         /path/to/your/drupal/folder;
  include      /path/to/your/drupal.conf;
}

Then just enable the site by doing a symlink to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled and restarting nginx.

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sample-site.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/sample-site.conf

After that, add the server_name to your hosts file, to point to localhost: domains to axai.org point to localhost by default, no need to do it here, but here is an example when server_name is new-site

127.0.0.1 new-site
