Ifdefine alternative

Server NGINX
1

I have existing apache configuration which updates it’s allow-deny rules
based on whether it’s development or production system. For example,
apache
gets started with ‘-D ${HOST_ENVIRONMENT}’ parameter which is then used
in
IFDefine block. I was wondering if Nginx has any options to use similar
options.

I thought about using perl modules to set variables based on environment
variable, but I was wondering if there are any other options. Any ideas
on
alternative to -D/IfDefine will be helpful.

A much easier option is to use labels and perl to swap comment items
around
in the nginx.conf file.

#PLABEL
#development line…;
production line…;

if readln eq ‘^#PLABEL’ then { swap 2 lines comment char; } else { write
unchangedline; }

Or something in that order.
