| The choice of whether to implement the changes or not will be presented to you. Be aware that you won't be able to enter into the machine again if you deactivate TCP traffic or add a deny OpenSSH rule to the firewall. Let’s now cover some crucial Nginx commands for administration and management | ||

| Step 1: Check the status of the Nginx server: | ||
| sudo systemctl status nginx |

sudo systemctl status nginx
| sudo systemctl status nginx | ||
|
|
||
| Step 2: You can also check if Nginx is working by accessing your website using the browser. Visit the following link: | ||

||
| Step 3: Use systemctl to start, stop, or restart your Nginx server: | ||
| sudo systemctl stop nginxsudo systemctl start nginxsudo systemctl restart nginx |

Add mulitple commands in one line using && or add every command on a new line.
| sudo systemctl stop nginxsudo systemctl start nginxsudo systemctl restart nginx | ||
|
|
||
| Step 4: The Nginx configuration file is found at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. If you make changes to the configuration, you can either restart the Nginx server or reload the configuration file. | ||
| systemctl reload nginx # reloads Nginx configuration |

| Create a landing page index.html for both domains. Create a basic HTML snippet for a welcome page for both sites. | ||
| nano /var/www/domainone.com/html/index.html | ||
| Once the editor is open, paste the following into the editor: | ||
| <html> <head> <title>Welcome to ServerMania’s Domain One!</title> </head> <body> <h1>You have reached Nginx via Server Block #1</h1> </body></html> |

| Save the index.html file and create a similar one for the second domain. Make sure you change the welcome message. | ||
|
|
||
| Step 4: Create Server Blocks: | ||
| As mentioned earlier, by default, Nginx has only one server block. You can find it here — /etc/nginx/sites-available/default. So, we'll need two server blocks because we have two sites to support. The server restricts access to port 80. For our new server blocks, let's replicate the default server block. |

||
| Step 6: Enable Server Blocks & Restart Nginx: | ||
| You can enable the server blocks by creating symbolic links from the server block configuration files to the sites-enabled directory. | ||
| sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/domainone.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ |

| You can try visiting both domains to test the modifications and check to see if the contents of index.html are rendered correctly. | ||
| The installation of Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04 can now begin. | ||

| Now, you are ready to install Ngnix. When you are logged in with a non-root account with sudo rights, you will need to prefix every task that requires admin privileges with sudo. | ||

| Step 2 : Install Ngnix web server using apt: | ||
| '''sudo apt install nginxsudo apt-get install nginx''' |

This doesn't look right. Use single backticks for single line code. Use triple backticks for code blocks.
| '''sudo systemctl stop nginxsudo systemctl start nginxsudo systemctl restart nginx''' | ||
