Hello,
currently i m on ubuntu 14.04 and my nginx version is 1.4. i can see theres a stable release of nginx which is 1.6.2
my question is should i update to 1.6.2? if yes how? and should i leave it as it is to 1.4
You can upgrade your nginx version by using the official nginx stable ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
Can you please address the full question with your reply please.
Should he upgrade to stable 1.6.2 as its not in trusty update repository?
Was there a know issue other than 1.4.6 with 14.04 or is this resolved?
Nginx 1.6.2 contains many bugfixes and, more importantly, security patches over 1.4.6 so using the latest stable version is always recommended. I personally use the development version which is usually very stable.
If I update to the latest stable (1.6.2) or dev (1.7.9) version all sites load fine except wordpress ones and I can't figure out why.
Is there something that I need to do to make them work?
I'm stuck with 1.4.6 because of this.
Do you get any errors after upgrading nginx? Can you post the last few lines of nginx's error log? Run:
sudo tail -30 /var/log/nginx/error.log
I have no output to error.log or access.log after the upgrade. When I access the site I end up with a blank white page.

when updating my nginx on the 3rd command
getting this 2 steps
Configuration file '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** nginx.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
Configuration file '/etc/nginx/sites-available/default'

what should i do? i installed wordpress following this tutorial
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04
and my default server block is /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress
so i press "y" for the first one and "n" for the second one. now my site is broken :(
should i press no for both??
i think i made a mistake not to backup my nginx conf. file.
i can see configuration of my nginx conf file is changed. so how can i backup and restore after update? or should i do it through filezilla?
I cant update my site. always gets broken after i upgrade nginx.
can somebody give me a proper way to upgrade nginx on a running server?
I tried upgrading to 1.9.10 and my config also did not work. Ended up with a blank white page.
