Takeaways

• 😀 A web server is a software that handles HTTP or HTTPS requests from clients and sends back web pages, static files, or other data.
• 😀 To set up a web server, start by logging in as root and updating the system with 'APT update' followed by 'APT upgrade'.
• 😀 Install the Nginx package using the command 'APT install nginx' to get the web server running.
• 😀 Ensure that the network is properly configured to ensure a stable connection before proceeding.
• 😀 Configure the server by editing the configuration file using Nano and specifying domain details (e.g., 'kalid.com').
• 😀 Add necessary server configurations in the Nginx config file, such as 'listen 80' and setting the server name.
• 😀 Set up the location for the web root directory and specify the index file (e.g., 'index.html').
• 😀 Use symbolic links (LN -s) to connect the configuration file to the appropriate location for the server to access.
• 😀 Restart the Nginx service to apply the changes with 'systemctl restart nginx' and check if the server is active.
• 😀 Test the web server by entering the server's IP address (e.g., '192.168.0.115') in a browser to verify it works.
• 😀 You can edit the web page content (HTML) directly using Nano and see changes reflected on the web page after saving.

The server's functionality is tested by entering the server's IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.115) in a web browser (Chrome) and checking if the page loads.

How is the HTML file modified to test changes on the server?

The HTML file is modified using the command 'nano /var/www/html/index.html' to make changes, and then the file is saved before refreshing the web page to verify if the changes appear.
