I wanted to try out nginx as the webserver for openemr. I currently run 4.2.0(3) on a debian wheezy platform running mariadb, php5 and apache webserver.

Would someone who has successfully implemented nginx share the server block configuration for openemr that corresponds to openemr.conf in the virtual host settings on apache? I have created a LEMP stack with mariadb and php-fpm to try out the new openemr install. But I noted that installing openemr in a LEMP stack throws up an error because it is unable to find the apace2/sites-available directory on to which it would copy openemr.conf
