Yes, I'm compiling from sources. I found out what the problem is:
$ ./configure --prefix=/servers/nginx-0.7.60 --conf-path=/etc/ngix.conf
$ make
# make install
[SNIP]
test -f '/etc/ngix.conf' || cp conf/nginx.conf '/etc'
cp conf/nginx.conf '/etc/nginx.conf.default'
test -d '/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs' || mkdir -p '/servers/
nginx-0.7.60/logs'
test -d '/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs' || mkdir -p '/
servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs'
test -d '/servers/nginx-0.7.60/html' || cp -r html '/
servers/nginx-0.7.60'
test -d '/servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs' || mkdir -p '/
servers/nginx-0.7.60/logs'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/servers/sources/nginx-0.7.60'
In the configure line I made a mistake and stated /etc/ngix.conf as
the config file (notice the lack of the n). When installing, the
script stats /etc/ngix.conf, and as it doesn't exist, it copies the
default nginx.conf, not changing its name. Since I use a init.d script
for starting up nginx, configured to use /etc/nginx.conf, this file
always is replaced in this situation on every new install.
It's not really important, maybe it can be fixed when somebody has 1
minute spare.
Thanks.
