Nginx common configuration that I might have missed
- by ApPeL
I recently moved from Apache Mod_wsgi to Nginx, and I have seen a major improvement on speed a lowering on memory usage and I am generally very happy with the it.
I am not a server expert, so please be gentle.
I am wondering if there are any small configuration that I might have missed, that will cause me some issues in the long run...
Please see my nginx.conf file
