Follow these steps to install Nginx on Linux and configure PHP support, virtual hosts, HTTP authentication, SSL support, URL rewrites, and load balancing ...

Save and close the configuration file. Reload NGINX (which will only re-read the configuration files, not restart the server) with the command: sudo systemctl reload nginx NGINX is now ready to rock.

If you have an NGINX site that must allow users to upload files, try this configuration to help prevent possible Denial-of-Service attacks.

Unlink the default configuration file by typing: sudo unlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default Now, we need a new configuration file.
