First Question

People,

I want to switch my Apache SSL to Nginx - that might help me resolve a 
Ruby on
Rails issue and it is too much work to change all the non-SSL stuff 
over as
well - I will do that later when I have time.  So for the time being, 
http will
be handled by Apache and https will be handled by Nginx.

I commented out the default server in:

   /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

and changed:

   /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf

thus:

#
# HTTPS server configuration
#

server {
     listen       443;
     server_name  www.pricom.com.au;
     access_log /var/log/nginx/nginx.vhost.access.log;
     error_log /var/log/nginx/nginx.vhost.error.log;

     ssl                  on;
     ssl_certificate      /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/RapidSSL.crt;
     ssl_certificate_key  /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/mars-server.key;

     ssl_session_timeout  5m;

     ssl_protocols  SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1;
     ssl_ciphers  
ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP;
     ssl_prefer_server_ciphers   on;

     location / {
         root   /var/www/ssl/wac;
     }
}

but in:

   /var/log/nginx/nginx.vhost.error.log

I get:

2011/11/01 13:50:28 [error] 9411#0: *7 open() 
"/usr/share/nginx/html/wac"
failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 203.206.181.78, server:
www.pricom.com.au, request: "GET /wac HTTP/1.1", host: "pricom.com.au"

Why is nginx reverting to the default path and how is it getting the 
right
dir without the correct path?

Thanks,

Phil.
