 * When I try to activate the plugin I get an error saying I have to manually edit
   some files to allow it to be activated.
 * However it sends me to edit a file called “/current/nginx.conf”, and that file
   simply doesn’t exist on my server. What am I missing?
 * I am running nginx and also have “nginx helper” activated.
 * Thanks!
