These two lines in `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` are inconsistent (`*.conf` vs. `*`): > include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; > include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; Since all exmples for `sites-enabled` are using `*.conf` filenames, I was naturally assuming that only those get included. Including *everything* could in fact be a security risk (e.g. temp files created by editors). So I'm suggesting to do just the same in `sites-enabled` as in `conf.d`, and change the second line by default to: > include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf; See also https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/2244 for an actual issue that was caused by this.
