 Just hit this one today when I was trying to configure nginx with SSL on
 my development machine.  Had made all the required changes to configure a
 new server instance in my nginx.conf (I don't use subconfigs on this box),
 and then got this message:

 {{{
 valkyrie$ sudo nginx -s reload
 nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "ssl" in
 /opt/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:99
 }}}

 Finding this page [http://kete.net.nz/documentation/topics/show/167
 -configure-nginx-to-use-ssl], I followed the instructions, but once I'd
 deactivated nginx, ''it deleted my nginx.conf file!''

 Even RPM got this right over 15 years ago, so I can't understand why this
 package has so much trouble whacking configuration files (see my other
 ticket: [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27354]).

 The nginx.conf file shouldn't be part of the files managed by the
 installation, or if it is, it needs to be checked against either a
 modification time or a hash value of the package one so that these
 problems don't happen.
