How to get started
Navigate to the correct directory:
cd tasks/nginx/easy
Then open the nginx.conf
file and start implementing your solution!
Description
In this issue, your task is to set up a basic NGINX web server on your local machine using the nginx.conf
file.
The configuration should set up a simple web server that listens on port 8080 and serves index.html
file from the /tasks/nginx/easy/
directory.
How to run
Run the following command in your Terminal to start NGINX with your custom configuration:
nginx -c /tasks/nginx/easy/nginx.conf
or
sudo nginx -c /tasks/nginx/easy/nginx.conf
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should see the "Hello, NGINX!" on the screen served from the index.html
file.
If everything looks to work as expected, you are ready to make a pull request by committing the nginx.conf
file.
Remember to also shut down the server after you are done:
nginx -s quit
Or, with administrative permissions:
sudo nginx -s quit
To work with this issue, you need to have NGINX installed to your local machine.
Check out README.md for more instructions of installing NGINX as well as how to make a pull request.
