After installing the NGINX<\/a> server, NGINX is directed to the folder<\/p>\n

\/usr\/share\/nginx\/html<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let's change this path.
\nI want my site example.com to be in a folder var\/www\/<\/strong>
\n\u0421reate a example.com<\/strong> folder<\/p>\n

mkdir \/var\/www\/example.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Set folder permissions 755<\/p>\n

chmod 755 \/var\/www\/example.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

755<\/strong> ( drwxr-xr-x ) everyone can read this directory, but only the owner can change its contents<\/p>\n

Create a new file index.php in the folder example.com<\/p>\n

touch \/var\/www\/example.com\/index.php<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Set file index.php permissions 644<\/p>\n

chmod 644 \/var\/www\/example.com\/index.php<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

644<\/strong> (-rw-r--r--) only the owner has read and write permission; group and others have read-only access<\/p>\n

Set the owner www-data and group www-data for the example.com folder and also for all folders and files inside the example.com folder<\/p>\n

chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/example.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice:<\/strong> User and group settings are in the file<\/p>\n

\/etc\/php\/8.3\/fpm\/pool.d\/www.conf<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Open the file index.php and write in it<\/p>\n

<?php
\necho \"Hello world!\";
\n?><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now open the file default.conf<\/strong><\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/default.conf<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And write to it<\/p>\n

server {\r\n    listen      80 default_server;\r\n    server_name localhost;\r\n\r\n    root \/var\/www\/;\r\n\r\n    location \/ {\r\n        try_files $uri $uri\/ \/index.php?$args;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    location \/example.com\/ {\r\n        try_files $uri \/example.com\/index.php?$args;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    location ~ \\.php$ {\r\n        fastcgi_index index.php;\r\n        fastcgi_pass unix:\/run\/php\/php8.3-fpm.sock;\r\n        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\r\n        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\\.php)(\/.*)$;\r\n        try_files $uri =404;\r\n        include fastcgi_params;\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Now open the file nginx.conf<\/strong><\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And in the first line replace<\/p>\n
user nginx;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
replace with<\/p>\n
user www-data;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Restart the server<\/p>\n
service nginx restart<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Opening the site in a browser<\/p>\n
http:\/\/localhost\/example.com\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If you saw the text<\/p>\n
Hello world<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
NGINX server setup done correctly<\/p>\n
If an error occurs, you can find the cause of the error in the file error.log<\/p>\n
\/var\/log\/nginx\/error.log<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My simple config file nginx.conf<\/strong> looks like this<\/p>\n
user www-data;\r\nworker_processes auto;\r\n\r\npid \/var\/run\/nginx.pid;\r\n\r\nevents {\r\n    worker_connections 1024;\r\n}\r\n\r\nhttp {\r\n\r\n    include \/etc\/nginx\/mime.types;\r\n    default_type application\/octet-stream;\r\n\r\n    log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] \"$request\" '\r\n    '$status $body_bytes_sent \"$http_referer\" '\r\n    '\"$http_user_agent\" \"$http_x_forwarded_for\"';\r\n\r\n    access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/access.log main;\r\n    error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/error.log notice;\r\n\r\n    sendfile on;\r\n    keepalive_timeout 65;\r\n\r\n    include \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/*.conf;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
