Is /etc/nginx removed?
How are you removing/reinstalling/etc, what operating system, what configuration? If it's the official debian/ubunutu packages from wiki.nginx.org it should install even the default config to something like /etc/nginx. If it's freebsd /usr/local/etc/nginx/ and so forth.
Need more information to give you a specific answer.
I use Debian 6 32 bits, the /etc/nginx was removed after a normal uninstall using apt-get.
When I reinstall, with apt-get too, but the config is not recreated.
Run
dpkg --get-selections | grep nginxto see if there are any packages marked with "install" or "deinstall"Then run
apt-get purge [packagename]and replace [packagename] with the packages from the first command's output.Thanks, it worked. But why the system do it?
When you
apt-get remove [packagename]apt removes installed package, but leaves configuration files intact.apt-get purge [packagename]on the other hand, completely removes a package and it's associated configuration files.
