sintaxe para nginx.conf

em nginx.conf:

user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

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

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;
    gzip  on;
    gzip_http_version 1.0;
    gzip_comp_level 2;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_min_length  1100;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript image/gif image/jpeg image/png;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6].(?!.*SV1)";
    gzip_vary on;

    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

vhost simples - em /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pub.nkosi.net

    server {
        listen          80;
        server_name pub.nkosi.net;

        location / {
                root   /var/www/quijaua.com.br/pub/;
                index  index.html;
        }
  }

acrescentando log

access_log   /var/log/nginx/quijaua.com.br/pub/access.log;
error_log  /var/log/nginx/quijaua.com.br/pub/error.log info;

Desativa visualização de .htaccess & .htpassword

location ~ /\.ht {
   deny  all;
}
