List of countries

This list served quite some people but someone else did a better job since.

Go to https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list for a list in your language and format.

List of nationalities

I've also compiled a list of nationalities

# This is a template .gitignore file for git-managed WordPress projects.

# Fact: you don't want WordPress core files, or your server-specific
# configuration files etc., in your project's repository. You just don't.

# Solution: stick this file up your repository root (which it assumes is

The idea is to have nginx installed and node installed. I will extend this gist to include how to install those as well, but at the moment, the following assumes you have nginx 0.7.62 and node 0.2.3 installed on a Linux distro (I used Ubuntu).

In a nutshell,

1. nginx is used to serve static files (css, js, images, etc.)
2. node serves all the "dynamic" stuff.

So for example, www.foo.com request comes and your css, js, and images get served thru nginx while everything else (the request for say index.html or "/") gets served through node.

3. nginx listens on port 80.
