firewall-cmd --add-port=80\/tcp --permanent\nfirewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Testing Nginx<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To confirm that Nginx is ready to server HTTP content, simply open your browser and enter the server IP address as http:\/\/Server.IP<\/code><\/strong>. You should land on Nginx HTTP server test page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
