Description
Just hit this one today when I was trying to configure nginx with SSL on my development machine. Had made all the required changes to configure a new server instance in my nginx.conf (I don't use subconfigs on this box), and then got this message:
valkyrie$ sudo nginx -s reload nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "ssl" in /opt/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:99
Finding this page http://kete.net.nz/documentation/topics/show/167-configure-nginx-to-use-ssl, I followed the instructions, but once I'd deactivated nginx, it deleted my nginx.conf file''
Even RPM got this right over 15 years ago, so I can't understand why this package has so much trouble whacking configuration files (see my other ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27354).
The nginx.conf file shouldn't be part of the files managed by the installation, or if it is, it needs to be checked against either a modification time or a hash value of the package one so that these problems don't happen.
