SETTING UP NGINX SERVER ON UBUNTU

• I installed deployed Ubuntu VPS on AWS EC2 and connected to it

• Opened Ubuntu terminal and ran commands to install NGINX

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
sudo ufw app list
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP'
sudo ufw status
systemctl status nginx_

• Navigate to edit the default Ubuntu Debian html file to my desired text using sudo nano command as it is a protected file

sudo systemctl reload nginx
cd /var/www/html
sudo nano index.nginx-debian.html

• Restart Nginx using $sudo systemctl start nginx
