NGINX installer

Yeah, it's not like you can't just sudo apt-get nginx.
But what if you want to run php or perl cgis? Not that simple anymore.
This makes it simple again.
This creates your web root under /var/www - it'll be obvious, I give you some silly default page and so on.
Saves a ton of time and typos. NGINX is the webserver of champions - far faster and simpler than Apache, which is why the really big boys use it these days.
NGINXInstall.tar.gz
This makes it all easier.

For some systems you might have to go into the /etc/passwd file and edit the login for www-data to change it from "nologin" to /bin/bash. The NGINX user needs a shell to run some of the CGI stuff.
Posting as just me, not as the forum owner. Everything I say is "in my opinion" and YMMV -- which should go for everyone without saying.
