NGINX Linux Server | Common Configurations

[@michaelvilain8457]

These videos, although basic, are quite easy to follow and contain just enough detail to give someone unfamiliar with the topic enough to get started. Most of my experience is with Apache and I've installed nginx as part of a tutorial for another project. It's much easier to deal with than apache, so I looked up one of the Apache vs. Nginx pages and it filled out "Why would I run one over the other?". And it supplemented this video nicely. Very clear and CONCISE instructions.

What a clean neat tutorial on nginx server. Thanks a ton! Very much inclined to using Linode! Maybe tonight 😊

[@davidjiang7929]

I love how you guys are creating these helpful videos. The reason why I will be using Linode over Digital Ocean despite similar product offerings!

[@zes7215]

no scuh thign as sufferx or slowx or abx or etc, ceuxyuax, think, say, do any nmw and any s perfx

[@DannyMexen9]

Just enforced ssl on my linode running nginx. With every video, I learn something new, add to my tool belt. Thank you.

The mood... The pace... THe quality... Nice vid, keep it going :D

[@moibe182]

Excellent tutorial, with the precise basics that can help us begginers, thanks a lot, great teacher.

[@gregoryturner1505]

Jay, You have advanced Linux by 100 years with your tutorials.

[@spidercerdo2534]

I had an issue with certbot that would prevent from getting the certificate deployed correctly. the error would point to a server block issue. I tried several things going to sites-enabled and site-avaliable. but it wasn't untill i changed the default file in conf.d that i got it working. shows how important are this common configurations, thanks man.

[@hephaestuslakan3774]

That was pretty clear and concise, I have learned nginx configuration bash shell scripts here.

[@sevidmusic]

Your videos are a life saver, thank you for all the thorough content : )

[@davidinmichael]

I’m curious, did you learn this from college, or from external resources away from school? Your videos are very precised

[@whyareyoufollowingme1588]

Great video tons of help!

[@kelechi_Ebiri]

Great video, however, I think the default configuration file has been moved to /etc/nginx/sites-available

[@dixztube]

sudo nginx -t allows you to test your configuration to see any breaking issues.

[@FirstLast-hm8oz]

I tried with the second location example /blog/ , but it allways starts the / site. What happened here ?

[@whyareyoufollowingme1588]

I didn' t have a default.conf file maybe a change since the video was uploaded 3 years ago? I know it has a file doing the same thing somewhere else because I have been able to get the Welcome to nginx! page to display on local host. I am using an ubuntu server instead of linode btw, don't think that should make a difference

[@KavanMavati]

FYI you should set the worker processes to auto (worker_processes auto;)

[@leninchakravarthy1426]

I think in /blog/ location context, as root keyword ia used, /blog @ url should not be used. It is automatically appended by default, because of the 'root' keyword. If 'alias' is used in place of 'root', then url url is correct. Correct me, if am wrong.

[@AhmadKoudier]

the backslash after blog location is considered as security vulnerability :)

[@hoatranquang8376]

Dear Akamai Developer, I have problems. Safari browser can not connect my website. It's only connect pass with 80 port, no connect with 443 port. meanwhile, chorme, firefox ...all connect with my website. I had tried many methods, but it is fault. Please, you and everyone help me. Thank you so much

[@michaels8297]

Awesome! Any possibility for a tutorial with async backend servers like gevent?

[@petertremblay3725]

Thank for this but i am still confuse about how to setup my vps since people say i should set it to apache and run nginx as a proxy server but other mention it is better to uninstall apache and just use nginx but they also said that setting up nginx for dynamic content is not very beginner friendly so i am at lost on how to proceed after 2 weeks of reading on the subject!

[@MaheshKumar-bg5re]

Some important topics are always beyond the scope of any tutorials 🙂

[@redblood-f7f]

your can use nginx -s reload unlike using systemctl ??

[@rostranj2504]

What's the difference btwn the nginx repository and the ubuntu repository? Is one more up to date than the other? Why did we install through the Nginx repository for this tutorial?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Installing from Nginx directly will give you the most up to date version. This page has more details on different ways to install Nginx www.linode.com/docs/guides/installing-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin/

[@ruicruz8641]

Thank you. You not just teach us how to do it, but also the reasons behind. It is extremely helpful.

[@AmirKhan-do4si]

[@dhruba59]

Hi how to enable .htaccess file on nginx ...I have installed amember pro but getting 404 error page Any solution??

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

To best answer this we'll require some more information from you. We can help you out more quickly if you ask your question at our community site www.linode.com/community/questions/

[@saucepaneighteen73]

Great video.

[@subho1766]

A little off-topic, but is it a good idea to have root account in production machines?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

For production machines, security best practices recommend creating a limited user with root privileges. Check out this video for more info kzbin.info/www/bejne/b527iGOll7R6hbs

[@AshishKumar-qi5gk]

Jay, how did you background the nano editor?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Hey Ashish, this should help you out in being able to suspend nano stackoverflow.com/questions/16043291/cant-pause-nano-in-terminal

[@kunalchoudharkar3084]

how we find the top 5 storage partation in size

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

If you're trying to check disk usage, the command "df -h" might be what you're looking for.

Thank you sir for your class.

[@kipchickensout]

interesting how my default configs etc. look completely different

[@RABWA333]

Was very helpful, thank you

[@LostOnTheLine]

So by "Common Configurations" what you meant is "How to access the Configs" because you didn't actually share any "Common Configurations" & instead just wasted 15 minutes for anyone who finds this by the title >:(

[@greg6094]
