Nginx_ Fancy Index module
=========================

.. contents::

Requirements
============
* Sources for Nginx_ 0.6.6, and its requirements.
* Patience, and some Coffee™.


Building
========

1. Unpack the Nginx_ sources::

    $ gunzip -c nginx-0.6.6.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

2. Unpack the sources for the fancy indexing module::

    $ gunzip -c nginx-fancyindex-?.?.?.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

3. Change to the directory which contains the Nginx_ sources, run the
   configuration script with the desired options and be sure to put an
   ``--add-module`` flag pointing to the directory which contains the source
   of the fancy indexing module::

    $ cd nginx-0.6.6
    $ ./configure --add-module=../nginx-?.?.?  [extra desired options]

4. Build and install the software::

    $ make
  
   And then, as ``root``::

    # make install

5. Configure Nginx_ by using the modules' configuration directives_.
