  • Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
  • Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
  • Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
  • Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
  • Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Nginx Basics

#Nginx Basics for Ubuntu

Please see http://wiki.nginx.org/Main for more information. See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/ for a tutorial on how to install Nginx.

##Installation To install, you can install the version which is in the standard Ubuntu repositories but it is normally quite old and will not have the latest security patches. The best way is to update the repositories first:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-software-properties

apt-get upgrade
