[Slackbuilds-users] nginx maintainer

[Doogster]

The error pages are installed, by default, into /usr/html. The default
nginx.conf expects to find them there. The current SlackBuild just
removes this directory. I consider that a problem.

IIRC,if you have an unmodified nginx.conf, then /usr/html is also your
document root.
