Installing Nginx

Nginx is an internet server that can be used to serve static content, handle requests as a reverse proxy and connect with FastCGI applications. It is a lighter alternative to Apache that can offer improved performance and lower memory footprint.

The configuration files of Nginx can be loaded without the need to shut down and restart. This is accomplished by sending a signal to the master process which checks the syntax of the new configuration file and then applies any modifications. It will also send an email to the older worker processes, asking them to not accept any new connections and to continue maintaining existing connections.

To create a configuration file for Nginx, open the "/etc/nginx/sites-available/" directory and then create a symbolic link to the file you want to use in the "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/" directory. The symbolic links, also known as symlinks will be used to determine which of the Nginx server blocks are enabled. This will allow your nginx to respond to requests from your domain and the default website.

The syntax of nginx is extremely flexible. You can set up many things, like permitting SSL connections or setting reverse proxy servers, among others. For more information, see the official Nginx documentation.

Nginx unlike Apache utilizes an event-driven asynchronous connection handling algorithm instead of spawning new processes for every request. This makes it more efficient on sites that receive a lot of traffic. It can be set to cache static pages on your site. This can boost performance.

Nginx can be used as a reverse proxy, which routes client (e.g. web browser) requests to other servers. This is useful for load balancing, speeding up websites, and also providing additional security.

You can check if Nginx is accepting HTTP requests using a program like nginxstat, or by checking the logs within the "/var/log/nginxdirectory on your Ubuntu computer. This will reveal any errors that may be occurring.
