We are trying to install nginx on a Amazon Linux AMI to config uwsgi and django. But there is no sites-enabled dir under etc/nginx unlike on Ubuntu.

What am I missing here?

We are trying follow instructions from http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html

Answer 1

Amazon Linux is based on RedHat/CentOS/Fedora so the default installation of nginx doesn't have a sites-avalable or a sites-enabled directory. (As opposed to Debian/Ubuntu) The directory where you usually put your configs is /etc/nginx/conf.d

Having said that, if you really want the sites-available/sites-enabled directories you can just run:

mkdir -p /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
mkdir -p /etc/nginx/sites-available

Then make sure the following is in the http section of your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;

Then if you want to create a specific site configuration you can create your file 'whatever.conf' under /etc/nginx/sites-available . To enable it:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/whatever.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/whatever.conf
service nginx restart
