This is a basic Nginx server configuration file. It listens on port 80, and the server name is set to “localhost”.
The root directory for serving content is set to “/usr/share/nginx/html”, and the default index files are “index.html” and “index.htm”.
There is an error page defined for HTTP status codes 500, 502, 503, and 504 that redirects to a static file called “50x.html”. The location of this file is also set to “/usr/share/nginx/html”.
There are commented out sections for proxying PHP scripts to Apache or passing them to a FastCGI server. These sections are not currently active in this configuration.
Finally, there is a commented out section that denies access to “.htaccess” files if they exist in the same directory as the requested file.
