Configuring Nginx.

Post by hack3rcon » 2019/01/14 10:16:53

Hello.
Where is the location of Nginx configuration file?

Code: Select all

# nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Or :

Code: Select all

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
If I want to add some security configurations like below then which file must be used?

Code: Select all

add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";

----------
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) {
         return 444;
     }

----------
server {
listen       443 ssl;
   server_name "Your Website Name";
   ssl                 on;
   ssl_certificate     /Location/1.pem;
   ssl_certificate_key /Location/1.key;
   }
Thank you.

Configure file should in /etc/nginx/ and /etc/nginx/conf.d/ to keep some order in the configure files.
Does schema '/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default' comes from Debian faimily OS.

Security configurations described by You, should be add in server section.

How did You install nginx?
From where did You copy nginx.conf config file ?
