Running Magento 1.6.0.0 On Nginx (LEMP) on Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04 This tutorial shows how you can install and run Magento 1.6.0.0 on a Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu 11.04 system that has nginx installed instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced "engine x") + MySQL + PHP). Magento is an open-source, feature-rich ecommerce platform; I will use the Magento Community Edition here which is licensed under an open source certified license (OSL v3.0). nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

Magento should have been a great project, but it was just too messy. Their approach of covering all the bases is nice, but the overhead that incurs is a bit much. I worked with Magento for two years and became very good at modifying it, but it's code base is just a bunch of undocumented spaghetti. Doing the simplest thing requires a massive amount of code/xml files. I finally had to jump ship because it became overwhelming. I tried OpenCart next but their way of extending OpenCart was a bit unorthodox for my taste. Plus upgrading wasn't user friendly and sometimes broke code. However, I was still determined to use OpenCart until I was told about Lemon Stand. Its documentation, file structure, and extendability was a breath of fresh air. It does cost a little bit of money, but the time saving due to its ease of use will far out way its cost. Although it costs money, you can download it and install it for free so that you may evaluate or develop for it. The only thing that doesn't work, until you buy it, is order processing.

please have a look ..here in the vhost file

vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.example.com.vhost 

there is a mistake 

server {
    listen 80;

    ## SSL directives might go here
    ## see https://www.howtoforge.com/how_to_set_up_ssl_vhosts_under_nginx_plus_sni_support_ubuntu_11.04_debian_squeeze
    ## if you want to enable SSL for this vhost

    server_name www.example.com *.example.com;
