Thanks again for this video

Nice Explanation...

Thank you!

[@workingTchr]

Thx for the overview of nginx.conf. It makes a lot more sense than the bloated conf I got with WinNMP. One thing, I had to put quotes around the root and alias values for it to work. I couldn't get the proxy_pass to work (in my case I'm using nodejs). But all in all, a useful start for me.

[@djangoroad]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. NodeJS probably listens on a different port than Django afaik.

Hi, could you pls tell what kind of application we deploy in nginx. As I worked in nginx. I deplyed html, css, js but I don't have depth knowledge.
Could you pls tell what kind of app should be deploy in this server.
Thanks

[@djangoroad]

I've mostly used Nginx as a web server and a reverse proxy with a Django application running at a specific port.

[@Raj-si5yz]

@@djangoroad Thanks for letting me know. As you worked as a webserver. What kind of app you was supposed to deploy. I also worked nginx webserver but this things I didn't understood. This is confusion on my mind.

[@djangoroad]

The video is just about the Nginx configuration file. Like any other web server, it has the ability to be tweaked. I hope this makes it clearer.

[@Raj-si5yz]

@@djangoroad okay, I will check on different portal. Thanks
