Hi folks,

Problem on installing nginx

# apt-get install nginx ....... Errors were encountered while processing: nginx E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Fail. But I can't uninstall the package;

# apt-get remove --f nginx E: Command line option --f is not understood xen11:~# apt-get remove -f nginx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: nginx 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 524kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y (Reading database ... 18955 files and directories currently installed.) Removing nginx ...

# find / -name nginx /var/lib/nginx /var/log/nginx /etc/init.d/nginx

# ls /var/lib/nginx/ body fastcgi proxy

# rm -rf /var/lib/nginx

# ls /var/log/nginx/ access.log error.log localhost.access.log

# rm -rf /var/log/nginx # rm /etc/init.d/nginx

Please advise how to install nginx. Whether I have to compile the package from source? TIA
