In this guide, we are going to discuss how to install Nginx web server on Fedora 30. Nginx<\/a>, commonly pronounced as Engin<\/strong>e ex<\/strong>, is an open-source, high-performance HTTP server. It can also function as a load balancer, reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP\/POP3 proxy server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Nginx Web Server on Fedora 30<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nginx is available on the default Fedora repositories and hence can be installed directly using the DNF package manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

dnf install nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Running Nginx<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Well, once the installation of Nginx is done, it is time to start it. However, if you have Apache installed and running on the same server, you need to stop and disable it from running so that you can use Nginx instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disable Apache (if installed)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
systemctl stop httpd
systemctl disable httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Start Nginx <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Nginx can be started by executing the command;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl start nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Enable Nginx to run on system boot.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you need your Nginx HTTP server to run by default every time your server reboots, then you need to run this command;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl enable nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Check the status of Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl status nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Allow Nginx on Firewalld<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you are running firewalld (running by default on Fedora 30) you need to allow Nginx through it to make accessible from outside the localhost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
firewall-cmd --add-service={http,https} --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Testing Nginx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, navigate to the web browser and test if you can access Nginx web server via the http:\/\/<hostname-or-server-IP-address><\/strong>. If all is well, this will land you on Fedora Nginx test page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"install<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Well, you are good to go. You can now perform any web server configurations to suit your needs. Cheers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
