[Slackbuilds-users] nginx maintainer

[Miguel De Anda]

i haven't check the 40x and 50x pages but are you saying the default pages
w/o changing the included nginx.conf file? i would agree that this is a
somewhat trivial change that doesn't affect the binary or the original
source. another option is to correct the shipped nginx.conf to not
reference the nonexistent files.

it would make sense that a clean build/install of the package should be
fully functional. for example, chown'ing log files so the pre-configured
runas user can actually write to them instead of leaving it as an
undocumented step.
