Nginx for Developers: An Introduction

Today You Learn that is because the original package maintainer of the NginX package in Debian (and thus later, Ubuntu) simply copied the structure of the Apache package. It's most useless because there is no script to manage the sites available like with apache.

I have been complaining about this for years!

On FreeBSD and all my client's sites (whether they run Linux or what), I always set mine to include sites/*.conf and delete those apache-isms.

It's especially bizarre given how trivial such a script is - as far as I am aware, it's a glorified symlink-maker.

Hrm, looking now, a2ensite is 340 lines long...

Quite the glorified symlink maker!

It is my experience from years of administration that `ln` and `rm` (or perhaps `mv`) are the only commands necessary to work with the directories without the scripts.

You know how many times I had to restart the nginx daemon on a VPS for me to figure this out. Thank you for complaining!
