docs: added note to review/upgrade nginx
What does this MR do?
This MR adds a note in the source installation instructions to cover the case where version of the NGINX package is lower than 1.12.1.
This MR covers the case where the nginx version is at 1.10.x, and as a result, the test check(sudo nginx -t
) fails with this error:
nginx: [emerg] unknown "start$temp=[filtered]$rest" variable nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
The server doesn't start either until upgrading to a version greater than 1.12.1
