Problem on installing ngnix

[Glen Lumanau]

You don't need to install nginx from source. 

Here's the step to uninstall nginx

Edit your /etc/init.d/nginx

Add this
Exit 0
On the top of that file

Then try to remove nginx 
Apt-get remove --purge nginx

:)


Regards,

Glen Lumanau

Hi Merlin,


Thanks for your advice.
