I used Perusio's setup and Nginx and php5-fpm are running without errors. My root files are located at srv/www. I indicated this in the config and enabled the sites with
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/website1.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/website1.com.

I don't know what I'm missing.

As I was setting up the configuration I got this error "unknown directive "set_real_ip_from" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:32" so I upgraded to the latest Nginx version and the message went away. Then I opened my webpage and it took me to the default Nginx page. I did a "/etc/init.d/nginx stop" and "/etc/init.d/nginx restart" today and the message is back. So I think the issue may be "set_real_ip_from".

My current Nginx version is 1.2.7.

can you post your vhost

I used the command and all my enabled sites are listed. Since I did a stop and restart, I only get "Unable to connect" message in Firefox, I no longer get the default page. I'm unable to restart Nginx. The errorlog only shows unknown directive "set_real_ip_from" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:32

Yeah I should add a notice on the readme
