explanation.md

Installation

1)

brew install nginx
sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.8.0/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist /Library/LaunchAgents

2)

Replace /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf with the nginx.conf in this gist. I'm using port 8081 for my current project.

3)

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist

4)

curl -L -vv localhost:8081/status/

nginx.conf
