[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: How to configure opscode nginx properly

No, what I'm saying is that your template definition should look like this:

  template "#{node['nginx']['dir']}/sites-available/#{params[:name]}" do
    source 'wrapper_site.erb'
    owner  'root'
    group  'root'
    mode   '0644'
    notifies :reload, 'service[nginx]'
    variables ({:site => params[:name], :port => params[:port],
:autoindex => params[:autoindex]})
    cookbook "nginx"
  end

I believe this way you're telling Chef that you're overriding a
template from "nginx" cookbook, so it won't get all confused.
