TEST via HTTP

How did your Nginx -t returned a successful result when the root document path doesn't exist?
Sounds weird to me.
Thanks

Hi! There is this question bugging me - what's that statusbar on the bottom of the screen? As I can see connection is made with putty, so that must be some screen manager, but which one?

Is your friend a younger cousin of Arnold?

I use CentOS with NGINX only for HTTP/HTTPS proxy. This runs over a XEN virtualizer. You see advantages switching my install to a FreeBSD?

Arnis Cakuls I'm using i3 as my window manager :-D. Switched about a year ago and haven't looked back.

Cool & useful tutorial. Thanks. Any chance of seeing a part 2 anytime soon?

[waynegibson]

Awesome, when can we expect the next steps to caching. Please we can do with your help. 

Maybe even a Moodle FreeBSD 10.1 Nginx install would be something that has not been done before, properly.

Unrelated personal question: From the accent I figured that Christian is most likely German. Now I am wondering, since you pronounced his name on German, are you also German or do you have some German roots? Sorry if that's too personal, I am just curious :D

You should never edit the rc.conf for anything. The php-fpm is called a UNIX socket. cgi.fix_pathinfo= doesn't need to be set anymore! Some configuration is correct but I would never follow this video and the guy talking in background is wrong about 50% of what he's talking about. Video is wrong, it should actually be removed from youtube.
