Hello and thank you very much for sharing.
I made a mistake to the default.conf file: I misunderstand your instruction and deleted it entirely.
After apt-get remove nginx I restarted the whole process but now I do not have the sites-available and sites-enabled folders. How can I start entirely anew?
I'm following this tutorial to install Nginx under ubuntu 16.04 x64 server. The servere already has a running/installed "nginx version: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)" running a website. Since I wanted to try pagespeed and also use openssl ; followed this tutorial, except for using https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/release-1.11.33.4-beta.zip, but I hasd to use ' dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us ' , if not I got a compilation error about missing signing.
When compiling , evrything is sucessfull. But when installing the built packages with ' dpkg -i *.deb ' I gett the following eror:

It seems that the error is due to the already installed nginx version. How to aviod errors when installing on a system with exsistting nginx instalation ? I would like to install as an "upgrade" of the exsisting standard ubuntu nginx instalation, using the ubuntu default instalation paths to avoid movingall files and configuration of the exsisting instalation - this is a " live" web site and I want to avoid downtime.
It´s not woth it and this will cause issues in your ISP Config set up.
I want to install Google PageSpeed on my Digital Ocean droplet, will this improve the site load time of my blog?
Thanks for the tutorial!
