Thanks Steve. Very helpful. BTW thank you very much for creating https://debian-administration.org/ .

That is exactly what was happening. I stopped apache2 (/etc/init.d/apache2 stop) and then the configuration process of nginx-full completed successfully. A follow up question: Should I remove apache2 packages completely from the system or is there a way to install both apache2 and nginx but only start nginx upon each reboot? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
