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.

[@DannyMexen9]

[@hephaestuslakan3774]

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

[@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.

[@kfchenghk]

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

[@FirstLast-hm8oz]

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

[@greg6094]

Awesome videos!

[@AhmadKoudier]

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

[@gistest1242]

awsome explain

[@takshpatel8109]

Thanks for info

[@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 >:(

[@serpantinthewild]

life safer, thanks for the tutorial :)

[@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!

[@dixztube]

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

[@KavanMavati]

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

[@rose.infosec]

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

[@ibnelaiq]

Thanks man.

[@BijouBakson]

Thank you

[@loveprogramming9085]

thank you

[@kelechi_Ebiri]

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

[@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

Thank you so much

[@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/

[@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 czcams.com/video/9lXW0obOGOY/video.html

[@dhruba59]

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

[@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/

[@AmirKhan-do4si]

we can also use auto
worker_processes auto;

[@YoungMesrine]

I fuck heavy with Linode..real shit✌

[@programmer9809]

👍

[@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.

[@kipchickensout]

interesting how my default configs etc. look completely different

[@takshpatel2667]

👌👌👌👌👌

[@TheTrekGuy97]

Little known fact. the pc behind him at the begining is what 90% of the linodes are run off of.
