How to Use Your Nginx Config

🖥️ Nginx Server

1. Download or copy the generated configuration
2. Navigate to /etc/nginx/sites-available/
3. Create or edit your site configuration file
4. Create a symbolic link: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/yoursite /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
5. Test the configuration: sudo nginx -t
6. Reload Nginx: sudo systemctl reload nginx

Configuration Tips

1

Always Test First

Use nginx -t to test your configuration before reloading to catch syntax errors.

2

Backup Existing Configs

Always backup your existing Nginx configuration before making changes.

3

SSL Certificates

For SSL configs, ensure your certificate paths are correct and files have proper permissions.

4

Firewall Rules

Make sure your firewall allows traffic on the configured ports (usually 80 and 443).

5

Monitor Logs

Check /var/log/nginx/error.log for any issues after applying changes.
