Using latest stable nginx v1.28.0 differences

Hi o/

I'm currently using latest stable nginx (v1.28.0) on Debian 13 for the webserver. Most of the Webserver Configuration steps worked as intended, but I ran into a couple differences/issues. so I’m documenting this in case someone else gets the same.

• The nginx conf defaulted under /etc/nginx/conf.d/, so I removed the default.conf and directly placed my pelican.conf in there.
  Another woraround is to include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf; in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, if you still want to use sites-enabled/sites-available.

• Logs gave the error: unix:/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream.
  turns out nginx worker was running as nginx user, while /run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock was owned by www-data. I found 2 fixes that worked for me:

  • usermod -a -G www-data nginx: add nginx user to www-data group.
  • edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf user to www-data.

Everything else in the Setup guide worked great! really excited to see where this goes!

Hey that's to be expected when using nginx's repos instead of your distro's.
