Hi Rob,

Since you were able to successfully get Nginx to run Wordpress, would 
you mind posting your config file?

I've been running Wordpress under Apache for several years, it's just 
running it under Nginx I'm having trouble with. Perhaps if I see a lot 
of different config files I'll eventually solve my own problem. I'd 
really like to use Nginx, since I have a very high volume site that 
requires two servers.
