title: Running Lua under nginx (writing a website with Lua)
body: <p>As a learning exercise I've dedicated some time to picking up Lua by creating some basic apps. I've gotten it installed and running great on Natty/Ubuntu, however, I'm a bit lost as to how to get it to play nice with nginx.</p>
  
  <p>I've read a bit here <a href="http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#Installation" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#Installation</a>
  And cloned this repo <a href="https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module</a> into my /etc/nginx folder...</p>
  
  <p>However, I'm still rather lost and unsure how to get it working even on a basic level. Is it possible to just include something into my nginx.conf file to handle /lua requests, or do I need to recompile/reinstall nginx altogether? (i'd rather avoid this). </p>
  
  <p>I've already been using php under nginx via fpm for quite a while, but I'm really not sure where to start getting Lua working in a similar fashion.</p>
