Igor,

The configuration in debian is pretty much as follows:
configure arguments: --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
--error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid
--lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log
--http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body
--http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi --with-debug
--with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_ssl_module
--with-http_dav_module

Mark,

This is a bit out of scope for this list - you need to talk to the
maintainer of the package you use.

That said, Igor is correct in pointing out as I was about it to that there
is no need for the full path, which is why I wrote the suggested
configuration the way I did. Also in the style of these debian
configurations you would move all the non-include directives into files in
conf.d or into httpd.conf (the global server configuration file) and NOT
have them in the main nginx block.
