Setup 3 Configure NGINX to serve your website

location of nginx config

cd /etc/nginx/

There are 2 dir which are important

1. sites-available: contains individual configuration files for all of your possible static websites.
2. sites-enabled: contains links to the configuration files that NGINX will actually read and run.

• Create file inside sites-available

touch default
vim default

• Add the following

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server;
  root /var/www/index.httl; # location of index page
  index index.html; # name of the index page
  server_name jgefroh.com www.jgefroh.com; | localhost
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
  }
}
