Newer version of nginx installed

Trying to set up primary website on new server I built from scratch. Already installed Nginx 1.9.5 from official nginx repo, EE appears to be installing 1.8.0 (Debian repo default ver) in it’s place. Following errors ensue:

Unpacking nginx-custom (1.8.0-8ppa) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx-custom_1.8.0-8ppa_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/nginx', which is also in package nginx 1.9.5-1~jessie
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx-common_1.8.0-8ppa_all.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx-custom_1.8.0-8ppa_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Can I get it to skip attempted installation and just configure?

Just noticed that if I do

ee info

it reports “Nginx is not installed”, however a

dpkg -s nginx

it reports the following:

So… Any suggestions on how to make this work with 1.9.5 or is that just out of the question?

Gotta say I’m disappointed with the complete and total lack of response.

Hello @Duvrazh,

Sorry for delayed reply.

EasyEngine uses its own apt repository for Nginx with package name as nginx-custom.

In this nginx-custom we have all the modules which required for various caching methods that EasyEngine provides.

If you want to use EasyEngine on your existing server, you need to first purge existing Nginx package and also need to remove its repository. After that only you will be able to use Nginx that is provided in our own repo.
