   user www-data; worker_processes 4;

   error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

   events { worker_connections 1024; # multi_accept on; }

   http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;
   
    sendfile            on;
    tcp_nopush          on;
   
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;
   
    types_hash_max_size 2048;
    server_tokens off;
   
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
   
    gzip  on;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6].(?!.*SV1)";
   
   
   
    upstream php {
        server 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
   
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    #include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
   

   }

    server { fastcgi_buffer_size 4K; fastcgi_buffers 64 4k;

     server_name _;
    
     root /var/www/sites/$host;
    
     error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
     access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined;
    
     location = /favicon.ico {

     }
    
     location = /robots.txt {
             allow all;
             log_not_found off;
             access_log off;
     }
    
     # Very rarely should these ever be accessed outside of your lan
     location ~* .(txt|log)$ {
             allow 127.0.0.1;
             deny all;
     }
    
     location ~ ..*/.*.php$ {

     location / {
             try_files $uri rewrite;
     }
    
     location @rewrite {
             # Some modules enforce no slash (/) at the end of the URL
             # Else this rewrite block wouldn't be needed (GlobalRedirect)
             rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1;
     }
    
     location ~ .php$ {
             # Zero-day exploit defense.
             # http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,88845,page=3
             # Won't work properly (404 error) if the file is not stored on this server, which is entirely possible with php-fpm/php-fcgi.
             # Comment the 'try_files' line out if you set up php-fpm/php-fcgi on another machine.  And then cross your fingers that you won't get hacked.
             try_files $uri =404;
             fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
             #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
             include fastcgi_params;
             fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
