Setting up NginX webserver

I followed landchad.net's guide to the letter and it just worked, so here's what I did

nginx config files are stored in /etc/nginx/,

the two main subdirectories in there, atleast on Debian, are /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

1. Create file in /etc/nginx/sites-available

$EDITOR /etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename

sitename is whatever you wish to name your site.

Add the following content,

server {
	listen 80 ;
	listen [::]:80 ;
	server_name example.org ;
	root /var/www/mysite ;
	index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html ;
	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404 ;
	}
}

Creating directory and site index

mkdir /var/www/sitename

Create an index.html file

nano /var/www/sitename/index.html

Enable the site

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename /etc/nginx/sites-enables

Now systemctl reload nginx

ufw allow 80 ufw allow 443

Open the main Nginx config file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and find the line

# server_tokens off;

Uncomment it, and reload Nginx.
