Today You Learn that is because the original package maintainer of the NginX package in Debian (and thus later, Ubuntu) simply copied the structure of the Apache package. It's most useless because there is no script to manage the sites available like with apache.
I have been complaining about this for years!
On FreeBSD and all my client's sites (whether they run Linux or what), I always set mine to include sites/*.conf and delete those apache-isms.
- vacri 13y agoIt's especially bizarre given how trivial such a script is - as far as I am aware, it's a glorified symlink-maker. Hrm, looking now, a2ensite is 340 lines long...
- merlincorey 13y agoQuite the glorified symlink maker! It is my experience from years of administration that `ln` and `rm` (or perhaps `mv`) are the only commands necessary to work with the directories without the scripts.
