Description Jamie Learmonth 2011-08-16 21:33:34 UTC

The current nginx ebuild does not create it's default document root if it is not present which means it does not work "out-the-box" on a fresh Gentoo install. This is inconsistent with other popular alternatives such as apache which creates it in the pkg_postinst and lighttpd which creates it on enewuser.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
User needs to manaually work out which directories to create,

Expected Results:  
/var/www/localhost/htdocs is automatically created if it does not exist.
