+# This is an example of a minimal nginx config file, demonstrating:
+#  * how to set the mime type of served RRD files
+#  * how to configure nginx to compress the rrd files on the fly
+#  * how to setup a /data url alias pointing to the collectd RRD folder
+#
+# Add the relevant parts of this example config to your existing nginx config
+# files, or modify it and use it directly by running the following command line
+# from your Jarmon working directory "nginx -p . -c docs/nginx.conf.example" eg:
+#
+# richard@aziz:~/Projects/Jarmon/trunk$ nginx -p . -c docs/nginx.conf.example
+# [alert]: could not open error log file: open() "/var/log/nginx/error.log" failed (13: Permission denied)
+#
+# The error line is normal if you are running nginx as an unprivileged user.
