Newbie questions about nginx (moving from apache)

[pk899]

thanks for this. but before I try all this on a production server,
couple questions: 

1. if this works with NGINX on port 81, can this work in the future on
port 80? So will nginx and apache both be on port 80? I doubt it but
want to confirm. 

2. secondly, do you have a production-ready sample of how to set up for
static serving? in apache for example, we set max-age, expires, gzip,
cache-control etc for static files and this is very handy. i read the
wiki manual for nginx and there's a lot of options in nginx too (quite
impressive actually) but i would love to see a production recommended
sample of commands. 

thanks!
