How to use native nginx configuration files

[yunyuyuan]

Hello!
I want to use Nginx in my openwrt device,I have found this doc,but I think the configuration is complex,I want to write a native nginx.conf, seems like /etc/config/nginx will automatically generate nginx configuration at /etc/nginx/.

Is below two ways I can pick?

• Leave /etc/config/nginx empty, and write the nginx.conf myself, put it at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf?
• Use another package, the pre-built nginx binary,where I can find it?

This is how I did it, hope this helps.

My uci configuration file is almost empty:

root@router:~# cat /etc/config/nginx 

config main global
	option uci_enable 'false'

Then, everything else is where NGINX expects it:

root@router:~# ls -lR /etc/nginx/
/etc/nginx/:

I am more radical:
rm /etc/config/nginx
rm /etc/init.d/nginx
rm /etc/rc.d/{S/K}..nginx
on first boot. Or in rc.local . Or ..
