<p>There's a lot of scattered info about nginx. This is what I've deduced from reading various blogs, Debian READMEs and the <a href="https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/fcgiwrap/">nginx wiki</a>.</p>
<p>For Debian I suggest installing nginx from <a href="https://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/">dotdeb</a>. They provide the latest stable versions.</p>
<p>For cgi install <code>fcgiwrap</code></p>
<p>Here is a full sites-enabled/example.com configure for hosting ikiwiki on the root domain, example.com:</p>
<p>```

listen 443 default_server;
