New to nginx

[Ivan L.]

Hi,

I'm new to nginx, and I'm trying to configure it but I've some problems. I use Ubuntu 8.10, and I installed nginx 0.6.32(apt-get install nginx)

The problems I see;

- unknown directive "if($request_method"

If I remove these statements, the error I receive

- unknown directive "if(-d"

When I remove if(-d) statement, the error I receive;

- unknown directive "if(!-e)"

I've tried to configure it as described in the English wiki, and some blogs I've seen but I couldn't solve the problems. Can anyone help me?

Here's my /etc/nginx/sites-availabe/default config file;


server {
  listen 80;
  client_max_body_size 50M;
  client_body_buffer_size 128k;

      return 405;
    }
    if(-f $request_filename) {
      break;
    }
    if(-d $request_filename) {
      break;
    }
    if(!-e $request_filename) {
      rewrite ^/search$ /index.php?where=search last;
      rewrite ^/posts/([0-9])$ /index.php?posts=$1 last;
      
      break;
    }
  }

  }
