## At the http level

    }

    ## Access and error logs.
    access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com_access.log;

    ## If you're using a Nginx version greater or equal to 1.1.4 then
    ## you can use keep alive connections to the upstream be it
    ## FastCGI or Apache. If that's not the case comment out the line below.
