Getting Started with Nginx & Drupal 7

So you want to use Nginx with Drupal. And you have no idea how to get started. Hopefully this’ll help.

Our lofty goal is to get Perusio’s Nginx config up and running. Hopefully in the process we'll understand more about how nginx works and how we can debug things.

Unfortunately I don’t understand all of it, so there’s going to be a few understanding holes here and there, but we’ll still be able to get it running.

There are plenty other ways to set-up Nginx, PHP and Drupal, this is just how I’ve done it.

I've made some modifications to the nmoderation module to allow for indymedia style moderation in drupal. It isn't ideologically 'nice' mainly due to the way parts of the drupal core are implemented. I have contacted the author of nmoderation about getting the patches into the module, but he hasn't responded, so we might want to look at forking it into a seperate moderation module - people's thoughts?

Instructions:
1) install drupal. 4.7.3 (or possibly a later 4.7 branch). I think CVS/4.8 changes a few fundamentals, so this is unlikely to work.

2) install the following modules: nmoderation, views, votingapi, taxonomy_block. You will want others for other IMC functionality; these are the ones you need for moderation and access of moderated content.
