Hi there again! I choose to write this tutorial because I have gotten very frustrated looking around for tutorials that actually work for the latest version of Nginx. All other guides only works for Nginx 1.12 and below, even though the current version is 1.15.8. This is simply dumb and I hope that with this you do not have to look around for hours upon end without any progress whatsoever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install the current version of Nginx, simply follow the documentation on its offical website seen here<\/a> or do the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we have downloaded & verified its authnicity lets install it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s it! You have now installed the latest release of Nginx. You should now start it and make it start on reboot.sudo systemctl start nginx.service To restart or stop nginx:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should now verify that nginx has started and is correctly installed by visiting it. Http:\/\/YourServerIp<\/strong>. If everything is correctly setup you should see a website saying that nginx is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your website configuration is located at Well now you can upload your own files or install wordpress as shown here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you should happen to want to install PHP you need to configure Nginx a little bit more. Otherwise it can cause permission problems later down the road, like returning permission denied errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add nginx to www-data group<\/p>\n\n\n\n Change owner of directory to www-data<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t already have a VPS, or want to reward us for hard work and ad free experience you can buy a VPS<\/a> from us. We would really appreciate it as we don’t have any donation buttons and this is our only source of income. Our VPSes are located in Stockholm, and we even have a Swedish branded site <\/a>if you’re from Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why am I writing this tutorial?
