Changes on CentOS

CentOS has a different file naming convention, yet simple directory structure, when compared to Debian derivatives. Let me describe them and I'd let you decide upon how you'd want to structure your files and name those files.

• The configuration for default sites are named as default.conf and ssl.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/.
• There is no sites-available or sites-enabled folder.
• The file /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params in Debian is named as /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf in CentOS.
