instruction to prepare nginx site configuration

nginx site configuration

the site configuration is created within /etc/nginx/sites-available/

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available

create a new file for the domain...or easier, copy the exisiting one:

sudo cp default *my_domain*

and edit the file:

sudo vi *my_domain*

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    
    server_name *my_domain*;

    root /var/www/*my_domain*/;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;


    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

folder structure

change to directory /var/www/:

cd /var/www/

and create a subfolder for the own domain/website:

sudo mkdir /var/www/*my_domain*
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/*my_domain*

create hello-world index.html

sudo vi /var/www/*my_domain*/index.html

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Welcome!</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    </body>
</html>

sudo chown www-data:www-data index.html
